damage, please take care of the erroneous actions of the surrounding sensors and the
equipment.
6. When the AC drive output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3 are connected to the motor terminals
U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3, respectively. To permanently reverse the direction of motor rotation,
switch over any of the two motor leads.
7. With long motor cables, high capacitive switching current peaks can cause over-current, high
leakage current or lower current readout accuracy. To prevent this, the motor cable should be
less than 20m for 3.7kW models and below. And the cable should be less than 50m for 5.5kW
models and above. For longer motor cables use an AC output reactor.
8. The AC motor drive, electric welding machine and the greater horsepower motor should be
grounded separately.
9. Use ground leads that comply with local regulations and keep them as short as possible.
10. No brake resistor is built in the VFD-M series, it can install brake resistor for those occasions
that use higher load inertia or frequent start/stop. Refer to Appendix B for details.
11. Multiple VFD-M units can be installed in one location. All the units should be grounded directly

Mains power terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3)


Connect these terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3) via a non-fuse breaker or earth leakage breaker to
3-phase AC power (some models to 1-phase AC power) for circuit protection. It is unnecessary
to consider phase-sequence.
It is recommended to add a magnetic contactor (MC) in the power input wiring to cut off power
quickly and reduce malfunction when activating the protection function of AC motor drives. Both
ends of the MC should have an R-C surge absorber.
Please make sure to fasten the screw of the main circuit terminals to prevent sparks which is
made by the loose screws due to vibration.

Note: Use twisted-shielded, twisted-pair or shielded-lead wires for the control signal wiring. It is
recommended to run all signal wiring in a separate steel conduit. The shield wire should only be
connected at the drive. Do not connect shield wire on both ends.

Analog inputs (AVI, ACI)


Analog input signals are easily affected by external noise. Use shielded wiring and keep it as
short as possible (<20m) with proper grounding. If the noise is inductive, connecting the shield
to terminal GND can bring improvement.
If the analog input signals are affected by noise from the AC motor drive, please connect a
capacitor (0.1 F and above) and ferrite core as indicated in the following diagrams:

Digital inputs (M0~M5)
When using contacts or switches to control the digital inputs, please use high quality
components to avoid contact bounce.

Digital outputs (MO1)


Make sure to connect the digital outputs to the right polarity, see wiring diagrams.
When connecting a relay to the digital outputs, connect a surge absorber or fly-back diode
across the coil and check the polarity.

Revision Aug. 2015, ME16, SW V3.13 2-11


Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring
General
Keep control wiring as far away as possible from the power wiring and in separate conduits to
avoid interference. If necessary let them cross only at 90 angle.
The AC motor drive control wiring should be properly installed and not touch any live power
wiring or terminals.

NOTE
If a filter is required for reducing EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference), install it as close as
possible to AC drive. EMI can also be reduced by lowering the Carrier Frequency.

DANGER!

Damaged insulation of wiring may cause personal injury or damage to circuits/equipment if it comes
in contact with high voltage.

Pr.02 Stop Method


Factory Setting: 00
Settings 00 Ramp to stop
01 Coast to stop

This parameter determines how the motor is stopped when the AC drive receives a valid stop
command.

1. Ramp: The AC drive decelerates the motor to Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.08) and

then stops according to the deceleration time set in Pr.11 or Pr.13.

2. Coast: The AC drive will stop the output instantly, and the motor will coast to stop.

Pr.03 Maximum Output Frequency Unit: 0.1Hz


Settings 50.00 to 400.0 Hz Factory Setting: 60.00

This parameter determines the AC drives Maximum Output Frequency. All the AC drive
analog inputs (0 to +10V, 4 to 20mA) are scaled to correspond to the output frequency range.

Pr.04 Maximum Voltage Frequency (Base Frequency) Unit: 0.1Hz


Settings 10.00 to 400.0Hz Factory Setting: 60.00

This parameter should be set according to the rated frequency as indicated in the motor

nameplate. Pr.04 and Pr.03 determine the volts per hertz ratio.

For example: if the drive is rated for 460 VAC output and the Maximum Voltage Frequency is set to
60Hz, the drive will maintain a constant ratio of 7.66 v/Hz. Setting of Pr.04 must be equal to or
greater than setting of Mid-Point Frequency (Pr.06).

Pr.05 Maximum Output Voltage (Vmax)


Settings 115V/230V series 0.1 to 255.0V Factory Setting: 220.0
460V series 0.1 to 510.0V Factory Setting: 440.0
575V series 0.1 to 637.0V Factory Setting: 575.0

This parameter determines the Maximum Output Voltage of the AC drive. The Maximum
Output Voltage setting must be smaller than or equal to the rated voltage of the motor as
indicated on the motor nameplate. Setting of Pr.05 must be equal to or greater than setting
of Mid-Point Voltage (Pr.07).

Revision Aug. 2015, ME16, SW V3.13 4-21


Chapter 4 Parameters
Pr.06 Mid-Point Frequency Unit: 0.1Hz
Settings 0.10 to 400.0Hz Factory Setting: 1.50

The parameter sets the Mid-Point Frequency of V/F curve. With this setting, the V/F ratio
between Minimum Frequency and Mid-Point frequency can be determined. Setting of this

parameter must be equal to or greater than Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.08) and
equal to or less than Maximum Voltage Frequency (Pr.04).

Pr.07 Mid-Point Voltage


Settings 115V/230V series 0.1 to 255.0V Factory Setting: 10.0

Pr.10. This parameter is used to determine the time required for the AC drive to ramp from 0
Hz to its Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.03). The rate is linear unless the S-Curve (Pr.14) is
Enabled.

Pr.11. This parameter is used to determine the time required for the AC drive to decelerate
from the Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.03) down to 0 Hz. The rate is linear unless the S-
Curve (Pr.14) is Enabled.
Pr.12 and Pr.13: Provide an additional Accel/Decel time although Time 1 is the default. A
Multi-Function input terminal must be programmed to select Accel/ or Decel/ Time 2 and the
terminal must be closed to select Accel/Decel Time 2 (See Pr.38 to Pr.42).

In the below diagram, suppose the Maximum Output Frequency is 60 Hz (Master Freq),
Minimum Output Frequency (start-up) is 1.0 Hz, and accel/decel time 1 is 10 seconds. The
actual time for the AC drive to accelerate from start-up to 60 Hz is 9.83 seconds (deceleration
time is also 9.83 seconds), can be determined by the formula.

Chapter 4 Parameters

When the JOG function is activated, the AC drive will accelerate from Minimum Output
Frequency (Pr.08) to Jog Frequency (Pr.16). Drive must be in stop status for the operator to

activate the JOG function. Likewise, during Jog operation, other commands cannot be
accepted through the keypad but FORWARD, REVERSE and STOP. The JOG function can
be remotely activated when the Jog terminal is closed, and if the Jog terminal opens, the AC

drive will decelerate from Jog Frequency to zero. The accel / decel time is entered as Jog
Accel / Decel Time (Pr.15). Multi-function Input terminals (M1-M5) can also be used to initiate
the JOG operation if so programmed.

The desired speed frequencies are entered in Pr.17 to Pr.23. When the associated multi-

function input terminal is closed, drive will run at one of these specific frequencies.
Multi-step speeds (Pr.17 to Pr.23), Pr.78, Pr.79, and Pr.81 to Pr.87; are used for multi-step
motion control, which is executed in an orderly manner, similar to a PLC program.

During deceleration, the DC bus voltage may exceed its maximum allowable value due to

motor regeneration. When this function is enabled, the AC drive will stop decelerating, and
maintain a constant output frequency to prevent from over-voltage tripping. Drive will resume
deceleration when the voltage drops below the setting for Pr.25.

Note: In applications where inertia is low, over-voltage during deceleration would not occur. When
inertia is high, the AC drive will automatically extend the deceleration period. If a faster stop is
needed, then a dynamic brake resistor should be used.

Revision Aug. 2015, ME16, SW V3.13 4-27


Chapter 4 Parameters

Under certain conditions, the AC drive output current may increase abruptly, and exceed the
value specified by Pr.26. This is commonly caused by rapid acceleration or excessive load on

the motor. When this function is enabled, the AC drive will stop accelerating and maintain a
constant output frequency. Drive will resume accelerating only after the current drops below
the setting for Pr.26.

Pr.27 Over-Current Stall Prevention during Operation Unit: 1%


Factory Setting: 150%
Settings 20 to 200%
00: disable

During a steady-state operation with the motor load rapidly increasing, the AC drive output
current may exceed the limit specified in Pr.27. When this occurs, the output frequency will
decrease to maintain a constant motor speed. The drive will accelerate to the steady-state
output frequency only when the output current drops below the setting for Pr.27.

Pr.28 DC Braking Current Level Unit: 1%


Settings 00 to 100% Factory Setting: 00

This parameter determines the amount of DC Braking Current applied to the motor during

starting and stopping. When setting the DC Braking Current, please note that 100%
corresponds to the rated current of the AC drive. It is recommended to start with a low DC
Braking Current level and then increase it until proper holding torque has been attained.

Chapter 4 Parameters
Pr.29 DC Braking Time during Start-up Unit: 0.1sec
Settings 0.0 to 5.0 sec Factory Setting: 0.0

This parameter determines the duration for the DC Braking Current applied during starting. DC
Braking is applied until the Minimum Frequency is reached.

Pr.30 DC Braking Time during Stopping Unit: 0.1sec


Settings 0.0 to 25.0 sec Factory Setting: 0.0

This parameter determines the duration for the DC Braking voltage to be applied during
stopping. If stopping with DC Braking is desired, then Pr.02 must be set to Ramp to Stop (0.0).

Pr.31 Start-Point for DC Braking Unit: 0.1sec


Settings 0.00 to 60.00Hz Factory Setting: 0.00

This parameter sets the frequency at which the DC Braking will begin during deceleration.

Notes:

1. DC Braking during starting is used for loads that may move before the AC drive starts, such
as hoists and cranes. These loads may also be moving in the wrong direction. Under such
circumstances, the DC Braking can be used to hold the load in position before applying a

forward motion.

2. DC Braking during stopping is used to stop faster than the ramp-to-stop or to hold a
stopped load in position. A dynamic brake resistor may be needed in order to stop loads of

high inertia.

Pr.33 Maximum Allowable Power Loss Time Unit: 0.1sec


Settings 0.3 to 5.0 sec Factory Setting: 2.0 sec

After a power loss, the AC drive will resume operation only if the power loss duration is shorter
than the time defined by Pr.33. If the Maximum Allowable Power Loss Time is exceeded, the
AC drive output is then turned off.

Pr.34 Base-Block Time for Speed Search Unit: 0.1sec


Settings 0.3 to 5.0 sec Factory Setting: 0.5 sec

When a momentary power loss is detected, the AC drive will stop its output and will wait during
a specified time interval called Base Block (entered in Pr.34) before resuming operation.
Setting of this parameter should make the residual output voltage due to regeneration almost
zero, before the drive resumes operation.
This parameter also determines the search time when performing external Base-Block and
Fault Reset (Pr.72).

Pr.35 Maximum Current Level for Speed Search Unit: 1%


Settings 30 to 200% Factory Setting: 150

Following a power failure, the AC drive will start its speed search operation only if the output
current is greater than the value determined by Pr.35. When the output current is less than that
of Pr.35, the AC drive output frequency is at a speed synchronization point and will

accelerate or decelerate back to the operating frequency at which it was running prior to the
power failure.

The analog output voltage is directly proportional to the output frequency of the AC drive. A setting of
100% on Pr.44 makes the Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.03) of the AC drive to correspond to the
+10VDC analog voltage output. (The actual voltage is about +10VDC, and can be adjusted by Pr.44)

The analog output voltage is also directly proportional to the output current of the AC drive. A setting
of 100% on Pr.44 makes the 2.5 times rated current of the AC drive to correspond to the +10 VDC
analog voltage output. (The actual voltage is about +10 VDC, and can be adjusted by Pr.44)

Note: Any type of voltmeter can be used. If the meter reads full scale at a voltage less than 10 volts,
then Pr.44 should be set by the following formula:
Pr.44 = ((meter full scale voltage)/10)100%
For Example: When using a meter with a full scale of 5 volts, adjust Pr.44 to 50%

Pr.52 Motor Rated Current Unit: 0.1A


Settings 30.0% FLA to 120.0% FLA Factory Setting: FLA

Factory setting is the AC drive rated current. When setting this parameter, just input the motor

rated current value without any calculation.


Use the following criteria to determine the setting of this parameter: no-load current < rated
current of motor < rated current of AC drive. You can use this parameter to limit the output

current to the motor as to prevent overheat.

Pr.53 Motor No-Load Current Unit: 0.1A


Settings 00%FLA to 99%FLA Factory Setting: 0.4*FLA

The rated current of the AC drive means 100%. Setting of this parameter affects the slip
compensation. The setting value must be smaller than the motor rated current setting in Pr.52.
(this parameter displays the value of actual current.)

Pr.54 Torque Compensation


Settings 00 to 10 Factory Setting: 00

This parameter forces the AC drive to increase its voltage output during start-up in order to
obtain a higher initial starting torque.

Pr.55 Slip Compensation


Settings 0.00 to 10.00 Factory Setting: 0.00

Revision Aug. 2015, ME16, SW V3.13 4-47


Chapter 4 Parameters

This parameter can be used to compensate motor slip. Although no linear, it typically adds 6Hz
for a setting of 10 if Pr.03=60 Hz. When the output current of the AC drive is greater than the

motor no-load current (Pr.53), the AC drive will adjust its output frequency according to this
parameter.

Pr.56 Reserved

Pr.57 Rated Current Display of the AC motor drive


Settings Read Only Factory Setting: ##.#

Pr.57 displays the rated current of the AC motor drive. By reading this parameter the user can
check if the AC motor drive is correct. See Pr.80 for details.

Pr.58 Electronic Thermal Overload Relay Selection


Factory Setting: 02
Settings 00 Standard Motor (self cool motor)
01 Inverter Motor (auxiliary cool fan on motor)
02 Inactive

This function is used to limit the output power of the AC drive when powering a self-cooled

motor at low speed.

Pr.59 Electronic Thermal Motor Overload Unit: 1 second

04 Enabled during acceleration and halted after detection.

Pr.61 Over-Torque Detection Level Unit: 1%


Settings 30 to 200% Factory Setting: 150

A setting of 100% is proportional to the Rated Output Current of the drive.

This parameter sets the Over-Torque Detection level in 1% increments. (The AC drive rated
current is equal to 100%.)

Pr.62 Over-Torque Detection Time Unit: 0.1 sec


Settings 0.0 to 10.0sec Factory Setting: 0.1sec

This is the duration for over-torque detection. When the output current is larger than the over-
torque detection level (Pr.61), an over-torque condition exists and the detection time (Pr.62) is
timed-out. Any of the multi-function output terminals set to indicate over-torque, will then close.

Pr.65 Coefficient K Unit: 0.01


Settings 0.01 to 160.0 Factory Setting: 1.00

The coefficient K determines the multiplying factor for the user-defined unit.
The display value is calculated as follows:
Display value = output frequency x K
The display window is only capable of showing four digits, yet you could use Pr.65 to create
larger numbers. The display windows uses decimal points to signify numbers up to three digits
as illustrated in next page:

Display Number Represented

9999 The absence of a decimal point indicates a four-digit integer.

A signal decimal point between the middle and the right-most numbers is a true
999.9
decimal point. For example, the number 123.4 would be displayed as 123.4.

A single decimal point after the right-most number is not a true decimal point; instead
9999. it indicates that a zero follows the right-most number. For example, the number 12340
would be displayed as 1234.

Two decimal points (one between the middle and the right-most numbers, and one
after the right-most number) are not true decimal points; instead they indicate that two

Pr.72 Auto Restart Attempts After Fault


Settings 00 to 10 Factory Setting: 00

When this parameter is enabled (set different to zero), the AC Drive will restart/reset

automatically up to 10 times after the occurrence of certain type of faults (over-current OC,
over-voltage OV). If enabled, the AC drive will restart on speed search, which begins at
Master Frequency. Setting this parameter to 0 will disable this operation. To set the fault

CRC CHK Low 6FH

CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) is calculated by the following steps:

Step 1: Load a 16-bit register (called CRC register) with FFFFH.

Step 2: Exclusive OR the first 8-bit byte of the command message with the low order byte of the 16-
bit CRC register, putting the result in the CRC register.

Step 3: Shift the CRC register one bit to the right with MSB zero filling. Extract and examine the LSB.

Step 4: If the LSB of CRC register is 0, repeat step 3, else Exclusive or the CRC register with the
polynomial value A001H.

Step 5: Repeat step 3 and 4 until eight shifts have been performed. When this is done, a complete
8-bit byte will have been processed.

Step 6: Repeat steps 2 to 5 for the next 8-bit byte of the command message.

Continue doing this until all bytes have been processed. The final contents of the CRC register is the
CRC value. When transmitting the CRC value in the message, the upper and lower bytes of the
CRC value must be swapped, i.e. the lower order byte will be transmitted first.

The following is an example of CRC generation using C language. The function takes two arguments:

Unsigned char* data a pointer to the message buffer

Unsigned char length the quantity of bytes in the message buffer

The function returns the CRC value as a type of unsigned integer.

Unsigned int crc_chk(unsigned char* data, unsigned char length){

int j;

unsigned int reg_crc=0xFFFF;

Settings 00 to 9999 Factory Setting: 00

This parameter defines the top count value for the VFD-M internal counter. Please also see

Pr.45 and Pr.46 (setting 13). Counting is incremented when the Multi-Function Input Terminal
M1 or M2, makes a low-to-high transition. Upon completion of the count, either Multi-Function
Output Terminal (MO1) or the Multi-Function Relay Contact (RA, RB) will close.

4-72 Revision Aug. 2015, ME16, SW V3.13


Chapter 4 Parameters
Pr.97 Preset Count Down Completion
Settings 00 to 9999 Factory Setting: 00

This parameter sets a preliminary count value for the internal counter. Counter is incremented
by a low-to-high transition on one of the programmed Multi-Function Input Terminals: M1 or

M2 (see Pr.44 or Pr.45, setting 14). Count starts at 01. Upon completion the selected Multi-
Function Output Terminal will close. Preliminary Count could be used to initiate an external
event before the terminal count is reached. (See Pr.38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 45, and 46 for further
details.)

Pr.98 Total Time Count from Power On (Days)


Settings 00 to 65535 days Read Only

Pr.99 Total Time Count from Power On (Minutes)

This parameter shows the software version for the AC motor drive.

Pr.101 Auto Acceleration/Deceleration


Factory Setting: 00
Settings 00 Linear acceleration/deceleration
01 Auto acceleration, linear deceleration
02 Linear acceleration, auto deceleration
03 Auto acceleration/deceleration
04 Linear Accel/Decel Stall Prevention during Deceleration
(Please refer to Accel/Decel time setting at parameter Pr.10-Pr.13)

When this parameter is set to 03, the AC drive will accel/decel in the fastest and smoothest
possible way by automatically adjusting the accel /decel time.
This parameter provides five modes to choose:

00 Linear acceleration and deceleration (operation by Pr.10, Pr.11, or Pr.12, Pr.13


acceleration/deceleration time)

01 Automatic acceleration, linear deceleration (Operation by automatic acceleration,


Pr.11 or Pr.13 deceleration time).

Revision Aug. 2015, ME16, SW V3.13 4-73


Chapter 4 Parameters

02 Linear acceleration and automatic deceleration (Operation by automatic


deceleration time, Pr.10 or Pr.12 acceleration time).

03 Automatic acceleration, deceleration (Operation by AC drive auto adjustable


control)

If this parameter is set to 04, Accel/Decel time will be equal to or more than
04
parameter Pr.10 ~Pr.13.

This parameter should not be used when a brake unit is installed.

Pr.102 Auto Voltage Regulation (AVR)


Factory Setting: 00
Settings 00 AVR function enabled
01 AVR function disabled
02 AVR function disabled when stop
03 AVR function disabled for deceleration

AVR function automatically regulates the AC drive output voltage to the Maximum Output
Voltage (Pr.03). For instance, if Pr.03 is set at 200 VAC and the input voltage varies from
200V to 264VAC, then the Maximum Output Voltage will automatically be regulated to 200VAC.
When the AVR function is disabled, the Maximum Output Voltage follows the variations of the
input voltage (180V to 264VAC).
Selecting program value 2 enables the AVR function and also disables the AVR function
during deceleration. This offers a quicker deceleration.

strong and immediate (If the gain is too large, vibration may occur). If the gain is small, the
response will be weak and slow.

When I=0.0 and D=0.0, it is only used for proportional control.

Pr. 118 Integral Time (I) Unit: 0.01sec


Factory Setting: 1.00
Settings 0.01 to 100.00 sec
0.00 disable

This parameter determines the speed of response for the PID feedback loop. If the integral
time is long, the response will be slow. If the integral time is short, the response will be quick.
Be careful not to set (I) too small, since a rapid response may cause oscillation in the PID loop.

Revision Aug. 2015, ME16, SW V3.13 4-77


Chapter 4 Parameters
Pr. 119 Differential Time (D) Unit: 0.01sec
Settings 0.00 to 1.00 sec Factory Setting: 0.00

This parameter determines the damping effect for the PID feedback loop. If the differential
time is long, any oscillation will quickly subside. If the differential time is short, the oscillation

will subside slowly.

Pr. 120 Integrations Upper Bound Frequency


Settings 00 to 100 % Factory Setting: 100 %

This parameter determines the integrations upper frequency limit while operating in the PID
feedback loop. (Limit = Pr.03Pr.120). During a fast Integration response, it is possible for the

frequency to surpass a reasonable point. This parameter will help limit this frequency spike.

Pr. 121 One-Time Delay Unit: 0.1sec


Factory Setting: 0.0
Settings 0.0 to 2.5 sec
0.0 disable

PI Control: When controlled by P action only, deviations cannot be eliminated entirely. To


eliminate residual deviations, the P + I control is generally utilized. If PI is used, it could
eliminate the deviation caused by set-point changes and external interferences. However, if

the I-action is excessively powerful, it will delay the response to the variation. The P-action
could solely be used on a loading system that possesses integral components.
PD Control: when a deviation occurs, the system immediately generates some operational
load that is greater than the single load generated by the D-action in order to restrain the
increment of the deviation. If the deviation is small, the effectiveness of the P-action decreases
as well. In some cases, control systems include integral component loads, which are

controlled by the P action only, and sometimes, if the integral component is functioning, the
whole system will be vibrating. In such cases, a PD control could be used to lower the P-
actions vibration and to stabilize the system. In other words, this control is good for use if the
loads have no braking functions over the process.
PID Control: Uses the I-action to eliminate the deviation and the D-action to restrain the
vibration, and combine with the P action to construct the PID control. The PID control method

normally determines a control process with no deviations, high accuracy and very stable.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

5.13 Electromagnetic/Induction Noise

Many sources of noise surround AC motor drives and penetrate it by radiation or conduction. It may
cause malfunctioning of the control circuits and even damage the AC motor drive. Of course, there
are solutions to increase the noise tolerance of an AC motor drive. But this has its limits. Therefore,
solving it from the outside as follows will be the best.
1. Add surge suppressor on the relays and contacts to suppress switching surges.
2. Shorten the wiring length of the control circuit or serial communication and keep them
separated from the power circuit wiring.
3. Comply with the wiring regulations by using shielded wires and isolation amplifiers for
long length.
4. The grounding terminal should comply with the local regulations and be grounded
independently, i.e. not to have common ground with electric welding machines and other
power equipment.
5. Connect a noise filter at the mains input terminal of the AC motor drive to filter noise from
the power circuit. VFD-M can have a filter as option.

In short, solutions for electromagnetic noise exist of no product(disconnect disturbing equipment),


no spread(limit emission for disturbing equipment) and no receive(enhance immunity).

5.14 Environmental Condition

Since the AC motor drive is an electronic device, you should comply with the environmental
conditions. Here are some remedial measures if necessary.
1. To prevent vibration, the use of anti-vibration dampers is the last choice. Vibrations must
be within the specification. Vibration causes mechanical stress and it should not occur
frequently, continuously or repeatedly to prevent damage to the AC motor drive.
2. Store the AC motor drive in a clean and dry location, free from corrosive fumes/dust to
prevent corrosion and poor contacts. Poor insulation in a humid location can cause short-
circuits. If necessary, install the AC motor drive in a dust-proof and painted enclosure and
in particular situations, use a completely sealed enclosure.
3. The ambient temperature should be within the specification. Too high or too low
temperature will affect the lifetime and reliability. For semiconductor components, damage
will occur once any specification is out of range. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically
check air quality and the cooling fan and provide extra cooling of necessary. In addition,
the microcomputer may not work in extremely low temperatures, making cabinet heating
necessary.

Revision Aug. 2015, ME16, SW V3.13 5-9


Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
4. Store within a relative humidity range of 0% to 90% and non-condensing environment.
Use an air conditioner and/or exsiccator.

5.15 Affecting Other Machines

An AC motor drive may affect the operation of other machines due to many reasons. Some solutions
are:

High Harmonics at Power Side


High harmonics at power side during running can be improved by:
1. Separate the power system: use a transformer for AC motor drive.

2. Use a reactor at the power input terminal of the AC motor drive.


3. If phase lead capacitors are used (never on the AC motor drive output!!), use serial
reactors to prevent damage to the capacitors damage from high harmonics.

serial reactor

phase lead capacitor

Motor Temperature Rises


When the motor is a standard induction motor with fan, the cooling will be bad at low speeds,
causing the motor to overheat. Besides, high harmonics at the output increases copper and
core losses. The following measures should be used depending on load and operation range.
1. Use a motor with independent ventilation (forced external cooling) or increase the motor
rated power.
2. Use a special inverter duty motor.
3. Do NOT run at low speeds for long time.

6.2 Maintenance and Inspections

Modern AC motor drives are based on solid-state electronics technology. Preventive maintenance is
required to keep the AC motor drive in its optimal condition, and to ensure a long life. It is
recommended to have a qualified technician perform a check-up of the AC motor drive regularly.

Daily Inspection:

Basic check-up items to detect if there were any abnormalities during operation are:

1. Whether the motors are operating as expected.


2. Whether the installation environment is abnormal.
3. Whether the cooling system is operating as expected.
4. Whether any irregular vibration or sound occurred during operation.
5. Whether the motors are overheating during operation.
6. Always check the input voltage of the AC drive with a Voltmeter.

Periodic Inspection:

Before the check-up, always turn off the AC input power and remove the cover. Wait at least 10
minutes after all display lamps have gone out, and then confirm that the capacitors have fully
discharged. It should be less than 25VDC.

NOTE
1. Please select the brake unit and/or brake resistor according to the table. - means no
Delta product. Please use the brake unit according to the Equivalent Resistor Value.
2. If damage to the drive or other equipment is due to the fact that the brake resistors and
the brake modules in use are not provided by Delta, the warranty will be void.
3. Take into consideration the safety of the environment when installing the brake resistors.
4. If the minimum resistance value is to be utilized, consult local dealers for the calculation of
the power in Watt.
5. Please select thermal relay trip contact to prevent resistor over load. Use the contact to
switch power off to the AC motor drive!
6. When using more than 2 brake units, equivalent resistor value of parallel brake unit cant
be less than the value in the column Minimum Equivalent Resistor Value for Each AC
Drive (the right-most column in the table).
7. Please read the wiring information in the user manual of the brake unit thoroughly prior to
installation and operation.
8. In applications with brake resistor or brake unit, Pr.25 (Over-voltage stall prevention) must
be disabled. And Pr.102 (AVR function) shall not be used.
9. Definition for Braking Usage ED%
Explanation: The definition of the barking usage ED(%) is for assurance of enough time
for the brake unit and brake resistor to dissipate away heat generated by braking. When
the brake resistor heats up, the resistance would increase with temperature, and braking
torque would decrease accordingly. Suggest cycle time is one minute

10. For safety reasons, install a thermal overload relay between brake unit and brake resistor.
Together with the magnetic contactor (MC) in the mains supply circuit to the drive it offers
protection in case of any malfunctioning. The purpose of installing the thermal overload
relay is to protect the brake resistor against damage due to frequent braking or in case
the brake unit is continuously on due to unusual high input voltage. Under these
circumstances the thermal overload relay switches off the power to the drive. Never let
the thermal overload relay switch off only the brake resistor as this will cause serious
damage to the AC Motor Drive.

If users are to operate the AC motor drive in coordination with the EMI filters manufactured by
DELTA, consult the above chart for the appropriate I/O terminals of the applicable filters.

! The filter will cause high leakage current. We recommend the grounding is required.

Installation
All electrical equipment, including AC motor drives, will generate high-frequency/low-frequency noise
and will interfere with peripheral equipment by radiation or conduction when in operation. By using an
EMI filter with correct installation, much interference can be eliminated. It is recommended to use
DELTA EMI filter to have the best interference elimination performance.

We assure that it can comply with following rules when AC motor drive and EMI filter are installed
and wired according to user manual:
EN61000-6-4
EN61800-3: 1996 + A11: 2000

EN55011 (1991) Class A Group 1 (1st Environment, restricted distribution)

General precaution
1. EMI filter and AC motor drive should be installed on the same metal plate.
2. Please install AC motor drive on footprint EMI filter or install EMI filter as close as possible to
the AC motor drive.
3. Please wire as short as possible.
4. Metal plate should be grounded.
5. The cover of EMI filter and AC motor drive or grounding should be fixed on the metal plate and
the contact area should be as large as possible.

Choose suitable motor cable and precautions
Improper installation and choice of motor cable will affect the performance of EMI filter. Be sure to
observe the following precautions when selecting motor cable.

1. Use the cable with shielding (double shielding is the best).


2. The shielding on both ends of the motor cable should be grounded with the minimum length
and maximum contact area.
3. Remove any paint on metal saddle for good ground contact with the plate and shielding.

Appendix B Accessories

The length of motor cable


When motor is driven by an AC motor drive of PWM type, the motor terminals will experience surge
voltages easily due to components conversion of AC motor drive and cable capacitance. When the
motor cable is very long (especially for the 460V series), surge voltages may reduce insulation
quality. To prevent this situation, please follow the rules below:
Use a motor with enhanced insulation.
Connect an output reactor (optional) to the output terminals of the AC motor drive
The length of the cable between AC motor drive and motor should be as short as possible (10
to 20 m or less)
For models 7.5hp/5.5kW and above:
Insulation level of motor 1000V 1300V 1600V
460VAC input voltage 66 ft (20m) 328 ft (100m) 1312 ft (400m)
230VAC input voltage 1312 ft (400m) 1312 ft (400m) 1312 ft (400m)

For models 5hp/3.7kW and less:


Insulation level of motor 1000V 1300V 1600V
460VAC input voltage 66 ft (20m) 165 ft (50m) 165 ft (50m)
230VAC input voltage 328 ft (100m) 328 ft (100m) 328 ft (100m)

NOTE
When a thermal O/L relay protected by motor is used between AC motor drive and motor, it
may malfunction (especially for 460V series), even if the length of motor cable is only 165 ft
(50m) or less. To prevent it, please use AC reactor and/or lower the carrier frequency (Pr. 71
PWM carrier frequency).
Never connect phase lead capacitors or surge absorbers to the output terminals of the AC
motor drive.
If the length is too long, the stray capacitance between cables will increase and may cause
leakage current. It will activate the protection of over current, increase leakage current or not
insure the correction of current display. The worst case is that AC motor drive may damage.
If more than one motor is connected to the AC motor drive, the total wiring length is the sum of
the wiring length from AC motor drive to each motor.

Appendix C How to Select the Right AC Motor Drive

The choice of the right AC motor drive for the application is very important and has great influence
on its lifetime. If the capacity of AC motor drive is too large, it cannot offer complete protection to the
motor and motor maybe damaged. If the capacity of AC motor drive is too small, it cannot offer the
required performance and the AC motor drive maybe damaged due to overloading.

But by simply selecting the AC motor drive of the same capacity as the motor, user application
requirements cannot be met completely. Therefore, a designer should consider all the conditions,
including load type, load speed, load characteristic, operation method, rated output, rated speed,
power and the change of load capacity. The following table lists the factors you need to consider,
depending on your requirements.

Appendix CHow to Select the Right AC Motor Drive

C.2 General Precaution

Selection Note
1 When the AC Motor Drive is connected directly to a large-capacity power transformer

(600kVA or above) or when a phase lead capacitor is switched, excess peak currents
may occur in the power input circuit and the converter section may be damaged. To
avoid this, use an AC input reactor (optional) before AC Motor Drive mains input to

reduce the current and improve the input power efficiency.


2 When a special motor is used or more than one motor is driven in parallel with a single
AC Motor Drive, select the AC Motor Drive current 1.25x(Sum of the motor rated

currents).
3 The starting and accel./decel. characteristics of a motor are limited by the rated current
and the overload protection of the AC Motor Drive. Compared to running the motor
D.O.L. (Direct On-Line), a lower starting torque output with AC Motor Drive can be
expected. If higher starting torque is required (such as for elevators, mixers, tooling
machines, etc.) use an AC Motor Drive of higher capacity or increase the capacities for
both the motor and the AC Motor Drive.
4 When an error occurs on the drive, a protective circuit will be activated and the AC
Motor Drive output is turned off. Then the motor will coast to stop. For an emergency

stop, an external mechanical brake is needed to quickly stop the motor.

Parameter Settings Note


1 The AC Motor Drive can be driven at an output frequency up to 400Hz (less for some
models) with the digital keypad. Setting errors may create a dangerous situation. For
safety, the use of the upper limit frequency function is strongly recommended.
2 High DC braking operating voltages and long operation time (at low frequencies) may
cause overheating of the motor. In that case, forced external motor cooling is

recommended.
3 Motor accel./decel. time is determined by motor rated torque, load torque, and load
inertia.

4 If the stall prevention function is activated, the accel./decel. time is automatically


extended to a length that the AC Motor Drive can handle. If the motor needs to

C-4 Revision Aug. 2015, ME16, SW V3.13


Appendix CHow to Select the Right AC Motor Drive

decelerate within a certain time with high load inertia that cant be handled by the AC
Motor Drive in the required time, either use an external brake resistor and/or brake unit,

depending on the model, (to shorten deceleration time only) or increase the capacity for
both the motor and the AC Motor Drive.

C.3 How to Choose a Suitable Motor

Standard motor
When using the AC Motor Drive to operate a standard 3-phase induction motor, take the
following precautions:
1 The energy loss is greater than for an inverter duty motor.
2 Avoid running motor at low speed for a long time. Under this condition, the motor
temperature may rise above the motor rating due to limited airflow produced by the

motors fan. Consider external forced motor cooling.


3 When the standard motor operates at low speed for long time, the output load must be
decreased.
4 The load tolerance of a standard motor is as follows:

Load duty-cycle
25%
40% 60%
100
82
70
torque(%)

60
50 continuous

0 3 6 20 60
Frequency (Hz)

5 If 100% continuous torque is required at low speed, it may be necessary to use a


special inverter duty motor.
6 Motor dynamic balance and rotor endurance should be considered once the operating
speed exceeds the rated speed (60Hz) of a standard motor.

Appendix CHow to Select the Right AC Motor Drive

7 Motor torque characteristics vary when an AC Motor Drive instead of commercial power
supply drives the motor. Check the load torque characteristics of the machine to be

connected.
8 Because of the high carrier frequency PWM control of the VFD series, pay attention to
the following motor vibration problems:
Resonant mechanical vibration: anti-vibration (damping) rubbers should be
used to mount equipment that runs at varying speed.
Motor imbalance: special care is required for operation at 50 or 60 Hz and
higher frequency.
To avoid resonances, use the Skip frequencies.

9 The motor fan will be very noisy when the motor speed exceeds 50 or 60Hz.

Special motors:
1 Pole-changing (Dahlander) motor:
The rated current is differs from that of a standard motor. Please check before operation

and select the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. When changing the pole number
the motor needs to be stopped first. If over current occurs during operation or
regenerative voltage is too high, please let the motor free run to stop (coast).

2 Submersible motor:
The rated current is higher than that of a standard motor. Please check before operation
and choose the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. With long motor cable between

AC motor drive and motor, available motor torque is reduced.


3 Explosion-proof (Ex) motor:
Needs to be installed in a safe place and the wiring should comply with the (Ex)
requirements. Delta AC Motor Drives are not suitable for (Ex) areas with special
precautions.
4 Gear reduction motor:

The lubricating method of reduction gearbox and speed range for continuous operation
will be different and depending on brand. The lubricating function for operating long time
at low speed and for high-speed operation needs to be considered carefully.

5 Synchronous motor:
The rated current and starting current are higher than for standard motors. Please
check before operation and choose the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. When

C-6 Revision Aug. 2015, ME16, SW V3.13


Appendix CHow to Select the Right AC Motor Drive

the AC motor drive operates more than one motor, please pay attention to starting and
changing the motor.

Power Transmission Mechanism


Pay attention to reduced lubrication when operating gear reduction motors, gearboxes, belts
and chains, etc. over longer periods at low speeds. At high speeds of 50/60Hz and above,
lifetime reducing noises and vibrations may occur.

Motor torque
The torque characteristics of a motor operated by an AC motor drive and commercial mains
power are different.
Below youll find the torque-speed characteristics of a standard motor (4-pole, 15kW):
