RFI Jumper
RFI Jumper: The AC motor drive may emit the electrical noise. The RFI jumper is used to suppress
the interference (Radio Frequency Interference) on the power line.
Main power isolated from earth:
If the AC motor drive is supplied from an isolated power (IT power), the RFI jumper must be cut off.
Then the RFI capacities (filter capacitors) will be disconnected from ground to prevent circuit damage
(according to IEC 61800-3) and reduce earth leakage current.
CAUTION!
1. After applying power to the AC motor drive, do not cut off the RFI jumper. Therefore,
please make sure that main power has been switched off before cutting the RFI jumper.
2. The gap discharge may occur when the transient voltage is higher than 1,000V. Besides,
electro-magnetic compatibility of the AC motor drives will be lower after cutting the RFI
jumper.
3. Do NOT cut the RFI jumper when main power is connected to earth.
4. The RFI jumper cannot be cut when Hi-pot tests are performed. The mains power and
motor must be separated if high voltage test is performed and the leakage currents are
too high.
5. To prevent drive damage, the RFI jumper connected to ground shall be cut off if the AC
motor drive is installed on an ungrounded power system or a high resistance-grounded
(over 30 ohms) power system or a corner grounded TN system.

4. Damaged insulation of wiring may cause personal injury or damage to circuits/equipment if it
comes in contact with high voltage.
5. The AC motor drive, motor and wiring may cause interference. To prevent the equipment
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-EL 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-EL units can be installed in one location. All the units should be grounded directly
to a common ground terminal, as shown in the figure below. Ensure there are no ground
loops.

CAUTION!
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.


Please use voltage and current within the regulation shown in Appendix A.
When using a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), select a current sensor with
sensitivity of 200mA, and not less than 0.1-second detection time to avoid nuisance
tripping. For specific GFCI of the AC motor drive, please select a current sensor with
sensitivity of 30mA or above.
Do NOT run/stop AC motor drives by turning the power ON/OFF. Run/stop AC motor
drives by RUN/STOP command via control terminals or keypad. If you still need to
run/stop AC drives by turning power ON/OFF, it is recommended to do so only ONCE per
hour.
Do NOT connect 3-phase models to a 1-phase power source.
Output terminals for main circuit (U, V, W)
The factory setting of the operation direction is forward running. The method to control the
operation direction is to set by the communication parameters. Please refer to the group 9
for details.
When it needs to install the filter at the output side of terminals U/T1, V/T2, W/T3 on the
AC motor drive. Please use inductance filter. Do not use phase-compensation capacitors
or L-C (Inductance-Capacitance) or R-C (Resistance-Capacitance), unless approved by
Delta.
DO NOT connect phase-compensation capacitors or surge absorbers at the output
terminals of AC motor drives.
Use well-insulated motor, suitable for inverter operation.
Terminals [+, -] for connecting brake resistor

All VFD-EL series don’t have a built-in brake chopper. Please connect an external
optional brake unit (BUE-series) and brake resistor. Refer to BUE series user manual for
details.

NOTE: Control signal wiring size: 18 AWG (0.75 mm2) with shielded wire.


Analog inputs (AVI, ACM)
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 ACM can bring improvement.
If the analog input signals are affected by noise from the AC motor drive, please connect
a capacitor (0.1 μ F and above) and ferrite core as indicated in the following diagrams:
AVI
C
ACM
ferrite core
wind each wires 3 times or more around the core

Digital inputs (MI1~MI6, DCM)
When using contacts or switches to control the digital inputs, please use high quality
components to avoid contact bounce.
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 90º 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.

00.05 User Defined Coefficient K Unit: 0. 1

Settings 0. 1 to d 160.0 Factory Setting: 1.0
The coefficient K determines the multiplying factor for the user-defined unit.
The display value is calculated as follows:

U (User-defined unit) = Actual output frequency * K (Pr.00.05)
Example:
A conveyor belt runs at 13.6m/s at motor speed 60Hz.

K = 13.6/60 = 0.22 (0.226667 rounded to 1 decimal), therefore Pr.00.05=0.2
With Frequency command 35Hz, display shows U and 35*0.2=7.0m/s.
(To increase accuracy, use K=2.2 or K=22.7 and disregard decimal point.)

Group 1: Basic Parameters

01.00 Maximum Output Frequency (Fmax) Unit: 0.01
Settings 50.00 to 600.0 Hz Factory Setting: 60.00
This parameter determines the AC motor drive’s Maximum Output Frequency. All the AC
motor drive frequency command sources (analog inputs 0 to +10V and 4 to 20mA) are scaled
to correspond to the output frequency range.
01.01 Maximum Voltage Frequency (Fbase) Unit: 0.01

Settings 0.10 to 600.0Hz Factory Setting: 60.00
This value should be set according to the rated frequency of the motor as indicated on the
motor nameplate. Maximum Voltage Frequency determines the v/f curve 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 (460V/60Hz=7.66V/Hz). This parameter value
must be equal to or greater than the Mid-Point Frequency (Pr.01.03).
01.02 Maximum Output Voltage (Vmax) Unit: 0.1

Settings 115V/230V series 0.1 to 255.0V Factory Setting: 220.0
460V series 0.1 to 510.0V Factory Setting: 440.0
This parameter determines the Maximum Output Voltage of the AC motor 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. This parameter value must be equal to or greater than the
Mid-Point Voltage (Pr.01.04).
01.03 Mid-Point Frequency (Fmid) Unit: 0.01

This parameter sets the Mid-Point Frequency of the V/f curve. With this setting, the V/f ratio
between Minimum Frequency and Mid-Point frequency can be determined. This parameter
must be equal to or greater than Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.01.05) and equal to or less
than Maximum Voltage Frequency (Pr.01.01).
01.04 Mid-Point Voltage (Vmid) Unit: 0.1


This parameter sets the Mid-Point Voltage of any V/f curve. With this setting, the V/f ratio
between Minimum Frequency and Mid-Point Frequency can be determined. This parameter
must be equal to or greater than Minimum Output Voltage (Pr.01.06) and equal to or less than
Maximum Output Voltage (Pr.01.02).
01.05 Minimum Output Frequency (Fmin) Unit: 0.01

This parameter sets the Minimum Output Frequency of the AC motor drive. This parameter
must be equal to or less than Mid-Point Frequency (Pr.01.03).
01.06 Minimum Output Voltage (Vmin) Unit: 0.1

This parameter sets the Minimum Output Voltage of the AC motor drive. This parameter must
be equal to or less than Mid-Point Voltage (Pr.01.04).
The settings of Pr.01.01 to Pr.01.06 have to meet the condition of Pr.01.02 ≥ Pr.01.04 ≥
Pr.01.06 and Pr.01.01 ≥ Pr.01.03 ≥ Pr.01.05.
01.07 Output Frequency Upper Limit Unit: 0.1

Settings 0.1 to 120.0% Factory Setting: 110.0
This parameter must be equal to or greater than the Output Frequency Lower Limit (Pr.01.08).

The Upper/Lower Limits are to prevent operation errors and machine damage.
If the Output Frequency Upper Limit is 50Hz and the Maximum Output Frequency is 60Hz, the
Output Frequency will be limited to 50Hz.
If the Output Frequency Lower Limit is 10Hz, and the Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.01.05) is
set to 1.0Hz, then any Command Frequency between 1.0-10Hz will generate a 10Hz output
from the drive. If the command frequency is less than 1.0Hz, drive will be in ready status
without output.
This parameter must be equal to or less than the Output Frequency Upper Limit (Pr.01.07).
The Output Frequency Lower Limit value = (Pr.01.00 * Pr.01.08) /100.

Acceleration/deceleration time 1 or 2 can be switched by setting the external terminals MI3~

MI12 to 7 (set Pr.04.05~Pr.04.08 to 7 or Pr.11.06~Pr.11.11 to 7).
01.19 Accel/Decel Time Unit

Factory Setting: 0
Settings 0 Unit: 0.1 sec
1 Unit: 0.01 sec
The Acceleration Time is used to determine the time required for the AC motor drive to ramp
from 0 Hz to Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01.00). The rate is linear unless S-Curve is
“Enabled”; see Pr.01.17.
The Deceleration Time is used to determine the time required for the AC motor drive to
decelerate from the Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01.00) down to 0 Hz. The rate is linear
unless S-Curve is “Enabled.”, see Pr.01.18.
The Acceleration/Deceleration Time 1, 2, 3, 4 are selected according to the Multi-function Input
Terminals Settings. See Pr.04.05 to Pr.04.08 for more details.

In the diagram shown below, the Acceleration/Deceleration Time of the AC motor drive is the
time between 0 Hz to Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01.00). Suppose the Maximum Output
Frequency is 60 Hz, Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.01.05) is 1.0 Hz, and
Acceleration/Deceleration Time is 10 seconds. The actual time for the AC motor drive to
accelerate from start-up to 60 Hz and to decelerate from 60Hz to 1.0Hz is in this case 9.83
seconds. ((60-1) * 10/60=9.83secs).

Settings 0.10 to Fmax (Pr.01.00)Hz Factory Setting: 6.00
Only external terminal JOG (MI3 to MI12) can be used. When the Jog command is “ON”, the
AC motor drive will accelerate from Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.01.05) to Jog Frequency
(Pr.01.15). When the Jog command is “OFF”, the AC motor drive will decelerate from Jog
Frequency to zero. The used Accel/Decel time is set by the Jog Accel/Decel time (Pr.01.13,
Pr.01.14).

Before using the JOG command, the drive must be stopped first. And during Jog operation,
other operation commands are not accepted, except FORWARD/REVERSE commands.

01.16 Auto-Acceleration / Deceleration

Factory Setting: 0
Settings 0 Linear acceleration / deceleration
1 Auto acceleration, linear Deceleration.
2 Linear acceleration, auto Deceleration.
3 Auto acceleration / deceleration (set by load)
4 Auto acceleration / deceleration (set by Accel/Decel Time setting)
With Auto acceleration / deceleration it is possible to reduce vibration and shocks during
starting/stopping the load.
During Auto acceleration the torque is automatically measured and the drive will accelerate to
the set frequency with the fastest acceleration time and the smoothest starting current.
During Auto deceleration, regenerative energy is measured and the motor is smoothly stopped
with the fastest deceleration time.
But when this parameter is set to 4, the actual accel/decel time will be equal to or more than
parameter Pr.01.09 ~Pr.01.12.

Auto acceleration/deceleration makes the complicated processes of tuning unnecessary. It
makes operation efficient and saves energy by acceleration without stall and deceleration
without brake resistor.
In applications with brake resistor or brake unit, Auto deceleration shall not be used.

01.17 Acceleration S-Curve Unit: 0.1/0.01

01.18 Deceleration S-Curve Unit: 0.1/0.01
Factory Setting: 0
Settings 0.0 S-curve disabled
0.1 to 10.0/0.01 to 10.00 S-curve enabled (10.0/10.00 is the smoothest)
This parameter is used to ensure smooth acceleration and deceleration via S-curve.
The S-curve is disabled when set to 0.0 and enabled when set to 0.1 to 10.0/0.01 to 10.00.
Setting 0.1/0.01 gives the quickest and setting 10.0/10.00 the longest and smoothest S-curve.
The AC motor drive will not follow the Accel/Decel Times in Pr.01.09 to Pr.01.12.
The diagram below shows that the original setting of the Accel/Decel Time is only for reference
when the S-curve is enabled. The actual Accel/Decel Time depends on the selected S-curve
(0.1 to 10.0).
The total Accel. Time=Pr.01.09 + Pr.01.17 or Pr.01.11 + Pr.01.17

Settings 0 STOP: ramp to stop E.F.: coast to stop
1 STOP: coast to stop E.F.: coast to stop
2 STOP: ramp to stop E.F.: ramp to stop
3 STOP: coast to stop E.F.: ramp to stop
The parameter determines how the motor is stopped when the AC motor drive receives a valid
stop command or detects External Fault.
Ramp: the AC motor drive decelerates to Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.01.05)

according to the deceleration time and then stops.
Coast: the AC motor drive stops the output instantly upon command, and the motor
free runs until it comes to a complete standstill.
The motor stop method is usually determined by the characteristics of the motor load and
how frequently it is stopped.
(1) It is recommended to use “ramp to stop” for safety of personnel or to prevent

material from being wasted in applications where the motor has to stop after the
drive is stopped. The deceleration time has to be set accordingly.

(2) If motor free running is allowed or the load inertia is large, it is recommended to
select “coast to stop”. For example: blowers, punching machines, centrifuges
and pumps.

From the table, we see that the PWM carrier frequency has a significant influence on the
electromagnetic noise, AC motor drive heat dissipation, and motor acoustic noise.
The PWM carrier frequency will be decreased automatically by the ambient temperature and
output current of the AC motor drives. It is used to prevent AC motor drive overheat and
extend IGBT’s life. Therefore, it is necessary to have this kind of protection method. Take an
example of 460V models, assume that the carrier frequency is 12kHz, ambient temperature is
50 degrees C with single AC motor drive. If the output current exceeds 80% * rated current,
the AC motor drive will decrease the carrier frequency automatically by the following chart. If
output current is around 100% * rated current, the carrier frequency will decrease from 12k Hz
to 8k Hz.

03.03 Analog Output Signal (AFM)

Factory Setting: 0
Settings 0 Analog Frequency Meter (0 to Maximum Output Frequency)
1 Analog Current Meter (0 to 250% of rated AC motor drive current)
This parameter sets the function of the AFM output 0~+10VDC (ACM is common).
03.04 Analog Output Gain Unit: 1

Settings 1 to 200% Factory Setting: 100
This parameter sets the voltage range of the analog output signal AFM.
When Pr.03.03 is set to 0, the analog output voltage is directly proportional to the output
frequency of the AC motor drive. With Pr.03.04 set to 100%, the Maximum Output Frequency
(Pr.01.00) of the AC motor drive corresponds to +10VDC on the AFM output.
Similarly, if Pr.03.03 is set to 1, the analog output voltage is directly proportional to the output
current of the AC drive. With Pr.03.04 set to 100%, then 2.5 times the rated current
corresponds to +10VDC on the AFM output.
NOTE
Any type of voltmeter can be used. If the meter reads full scale at a voltage less than 10V, Pr.
03.04 should be set using the following formula:
Pr. 03.04 = ((meter full scale voltage)/10) x 100%

For Example: When using the meter with full scale of 5 volts, adjust Pr.03.04 to 50%. If
Pr.03.03 is set to 0, then 5VDC will correspond to Maximum Output Frequency.
03.05 Terminal Count Value Unit: 1

This parameter sets the count value of the internal counter. To increase the internal counter,
one of Pr.04.05 to 04.08 should be set to 12. Upon completion of counting, the specified output
terminal will be activated. (Pr.03.00 set to 10).

When the display shows c555, the drive has counted 555 times. If display shows c555•, it
means that real counter value is between 5,550 and 5,559.
03.06 Preliminary Count Value Unit: 1

When the counter value reaches this value, the corresponding multi-function output terminal
will be activated, provided one of Pr.03.00set to 11 (Preliminary Count Value Setting). This
multi-function output terminal will be deactivated upon completion of Terminal Count Value
Attained.

If this parameter is set to 1 and the desired value of counter is attained, the AC drive will treat
it as a fault. The drive will stop and show the “EF” message on the display.

Example 2: Use of bias
This example shows the influence of changing the bias. When the input is 0V the output frequency is
10 Hz. At mid-point a potentiometer will give 40 Hz. Once the Maximum Output Frequency is reached,
any further increase of the potentiometer or signal will not increase the output frequency. (To use the
full potentiometer range, please refer to Example 3.) The value of external input voltage/current 0-
8.33V corresponds to the setting frequency 10-60Hz.

This example also shows a popular method. The whole scale of the potentiometer can be used as
desired. In addition to signals of 0 to 10V, the popular voltage signals also include signals of 0 to 5V,
or any value under 10V. Regarding the setting, please refer to the following examples.

In this example, the input is programmed to run a motor in both forward and reverse direction. The
motor will be idle when the potentiometer position is at mid-point of its scale. Using the settings in this
example disables the external FWD and REV controls.

Example 8: Use negative slope
In this example, the use of negative slope is shown. Negative slopes are used in applications for
control of pressure, temperature or flow. The sensor that is connected to the input generates a large
signal (10V) at high pressure or flow. With negative slope settings, the AC motor drive will slow stop
the motor. With these settings the AC motor drive will always run in only one direction (reverse). This
can only be changed by exchanging 2 wires to the motor.

0 Disable Over-voltage Stall Prevention (with brake unit or
brake resistor)
During deceleration, the DC bus voltage may exceed its Maximum Allowable Value due to
motor regeneration. When this function is enabled, the AC motor drive will not decelerate
further and keep the output frequency constant until the voltage drops below the preset value
again.
Over-Voltage Stall Prevention must be disabled (Pr.06.00=0) when a brake unit or brake
resistor is used.
NOTE
With moderate inertia load, over-voltage stall prevention will not occur and the real deceleration time
will be equal to the setting of deceleration time. The AC drive will automatically extend the
deceleration time with high inertia loads. If the deceleration time is critical for the application, a brake
resistor or brake unit should be used.

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

During acceleration, the AC drive output current may increase abruptly and exceed the value
specified by Pr.06.01 due to rapid acceleration or excessive load on the motor. When this
function is enabled, the AC drive will stop accelerating and keep the output frequency constant
until the current drops below the maximum value.

If the output current exceeds the setting specified in Pr.06.02 when the drive is operating, the
drive will decrease its output frequency to prevent the motor stall. If the output current is lower
than the setting specified in Pr.06.02, the drive will accelerate again to catch up with the set

This parameter determines the operation mode of the drive after the over-torque (OL2) is
detected via the following method: if the output current exceeds the over-torque detection level
(Pr.06.04) longer than the setting of Pr.06.05 Over-Torque Detection Time, the warning
message “OL2” is displayed. If a Multi-functional Output Terminal is set to over-torque
detection (Pr.03.00=04), the output is on. Please refer to Pr.03.00 for details.

Group 7: Motor Parameters
07.00 Motor Rated Current Unit: 1

Settings 30% FLA to 120% FLA Factory Setting: FLA
Use the following formula to calculate the percentage value entered in this parameter:
(Motor Current / AC Drive Current) x 100%

with Motor Current=Motor rated current in A on type shield
AC Drive Current=Rated current of AC drive in A (see Pr.00.01)
07.01 Motor No-load Current Unit: 1

Settings 0% FLA to 90% FLA Factory Setting: 0.4*FLA
The rated current of the AC drive is regarded as 100%. The setting of the Motor no-load
current will affect the slip compensation.

The setting value must be less than Pr.07.00 (Motor Rated Current).
07.02 Torque Compensation Unit: 0.1

Settings 0.0 to 10.0 Factory Setting: 0.0
This parameter may be set so that the AC drive will increase its voltage output to obtain a
higher torque.
Too high torque compensation can overheat the motor.
07.03 Slip Compensation Unit: 0.01

While driving an asynchronous motor, increasing the load on the AC motor drive will cause an
increase in slip and decrease in speed. This parameter may be used to compensate the slip by
increasing the output frequency. When the output current of the AC motor drive is bigger than
the motor no-load current (Pr.07.01), the AC drive will adjust its output frequency according to
this parameter.

07.14 Motor PTC Overheat Protection Level Unit: 0.1
Settings 0.1~10.0V Factory Setting: 2.4
When the motor is running at low frequency for a long time, the cooling function of the motor
fan will be lower. To prevent overheating, it needs to have a Positive Temperature Coefficient
thermoistor on the motor and connect its output signal to the drive’s corresponding control
terminals.
When the source of first/second frequency command is set to AVI (02.00=1/02.09=1), it will
disable the function of motor PTC overheat protection (i.e. Pr.07.12 cannot be set to 1).
If temperature exceeds the setting level, motor will be coast to stop and is
displayed. When the temperature decreases below the level of (Pr.07.15-Pr.07.16) and
stops blinking, you can press RESET key to clear the fault.
Pr.07.14 (overheat protection level) must exceed Pr.07.15 (overheat warning level).
The PTC uses the AVI-input and is connected via resistor-divider as shown below.
1. The voltage between +10V to ACM: lies within 10.4V~11.2V.
2. The impedance for AVI is around 47kΩ.
3. Recommended value for resistor-divider R1 is 1~10kΩ.
4. Please contact your motor dealer for the curve of temperature and resistance value for
PTC.

RPTC1: motor PTC overheat protection level. Corresponding voltage level set in Pr.07.14,
RPTC2: motor PTC overheat warning level. Corresponding voltage level set in Pr.07.15,
47kΩ: is AVI input impedance, R1: resistor-divider (recommended value: 1~20kΩ)
Take the standard PTC thermistor as example: if protection level is 1330Ω, the voltage
between +10V-ACM is 10.5V and resistor-divider R1 is 4.4kΩ. Refer to following calculation

for Pr.07.14 setting.
1330//47000=(1330*47000)/(1330+47000)=1293.4
10.5*1293.4/(4400+1293.4)=2.38(V) ≒2.4(V)
Therefore, Pr.07.14 should be set to 2.4.

If temperature exceeds the motor PTC overheat warning level (Pr.07.15), the drive will act
according to Pr.07.17 and display . If the temperature decreases below the result
(Pr.07.15 minus Pr.07.16), the warning display will disappear.
07.13 Input Debouncing Time of the PTC Protection Unit: 2ms

Settings 0~9999 (is 0-19998ms) Factory Setting: 100
This parameter is to delay the signals on PTC analog input terminals. 1 unit is 2 msec, 2 units
are 4 msec, etc.

Group 8: Special Parameters
08.00 DC Brake Current Level Unit: 1

This parameter sets the level of DC Brake Current output to the motor during start-up and
stopping. When setting DC Brake Current, the Rated Current (Pr.00.01) is regarded as 100%.
It is recommended to start with a low DC Brake Current Level and then increase until proper
holding torque has been achieved.
08.01 DC Brake Time during Start-up Unit: 0.1

This parameter determines the duration of the DC Brake current after a RUN command. When
the time has elapsed, the AC motor drive will start accelerating from the Minimum Frequency
(Pr.01.05).
08.02 DC Brake Time during Stopping Unit: 0.1

This parameter determines the duration of the DC Brake current during stopping. If stopping
with DC Brake is desired, Pr.02.02 Stop Method must be set to 0 or 2 for Ramp to Stop.
08.03 Start-Point for DC Brake Unit: 0.01

This parameter determines the frequency when DC Brake will begin during deceleration.

DC Brake during Start-up is used for loads that may move before the AC drive starts, such as
fans and pumps. Under such circumstances, DC Brake can be used to hold the load in
position before setting it in motion.
DC Brake during stopping is used to shorten the stopping time and also to hold a stopped load
in position. For high inertia loads, a brake resistor for dynamic brake may also be needed for
fast decelerations.
08.04 Momentary Power Loss Operation Selection

Factory Setting: 0
Settings 0 Operation stops (coast to stop) after momentary power loss.
1 Operation continues after momentary power loss, speed search
starts with the Master Frequency reference value.
2 Operation continues after momentary power loss, speed search
starts with the minimum frequency.
This parameter determines the operation mode when the AC motor drive restarts from a
momentary power loss.
08.05 Maximum Allowable Power Loss Time Unit: 0.1

If the duration of a power loss is less than this parameter setting, the AC motor drive will
resume operation. If it exceeds the Maximum Allowable Power Loss Time, the AC motor drive
output is then turned off (coast stop).
The selected operation after power loss in Pr.08.04 is only executed when the maximum
allowable power loss time is ≤5 seconds and the AC motor drive displays “Lu”.
But if the AC motor drive is powered off due to overload, even if the maximum allowable power
loss time is ≤5 seconds, the operation mode as set in Pr.08.04 is not executed. In that case it
starts up normally.
08.06 Base Block Speed Search

Factory Setting: 1
Settings 0 Disable
1 Speed search starts with last frequency command
2 Speed search starts with minimum output frequency (Pr.01.05)
This parameter determines the AC motor drive restart method after External Base Block is
enabled.

08.07 Baseblock Time for Speed Search (BB) Unit: 0.1


When momentary power loss is detected, the AC motor drive will block its output and then wait
for a specified period of time (determined by Pr.08.07, called Base-Block Time) before
resuming operation. This parameter should be set at a value to ensure that any residual
regeneration voltage from the motor on the output has disappeared before the drive is
activated again.
This parameter also determines the waiting time before resuming operation after External
Baseblock and Auto Restart after Fault (Pr.08.15).
08.08 Current Limit for Speed Search Unit: 1
Following a momentary power loss, the AC motor drive will start its speed search operation
only if the output current is greater than the value set by Pr.08.08. When the output current is
less than the value of Pr.08.08, the AC motor drive output frequency is at “speed
synchronization point”. The drive will start to accelerate or decelerate back to the operating
frequency at which it was running prior to the power loss.

within these frequency ranges with continuous frequency output.
These six parameters should be set as follows Pr.08.09 ≥ Pr.08.10 ≥ Pr.08.11 ≥ Pr.08.12 ≥
Pr.08.13 ≥ Pr.08.14.

08.15 Auto Restart After Fault Unit: 1

0 Disable
Only after an over-current OC or over-voltage OV fault occurs, the AC motor drive can be
reset/restarted automatically up to 10 times.
Setting this parameter to 0 will disable automatic reset/restart operation after any fault has
occurred.
When enabled, the AC motor drive will restart with speed search, which starts at the frequency
before the fault. To set the waiting time before restart after a fault, please set Pr. 08.07 Base
Block Time for Speed Search.
08.16 Auto Reset Time at Restart after Fault Unit: 0.1

Settings 0.1 to 6000 sec Factory Setting: 60.0
This parameter should be used in conjunction with Pr.08.15.

For example: If Pr.08.15 is set to 10 and Pr.08.16 is set to 600s (10 min), and if there is no
fault for over 600 seconds from the restart for the previous fault, the auto reset times for restart
after fault will be reset to 10.

08.18 Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)

Factory Setting: 0
Settings 0 AVR function enabled
1 AVR function disabled
2 AVR function disabled for deceleration
3 AVR function disabled for stop
The rated voltage of the motor is usually 230V/200VAC 50Hz/60Hz and the input voltage of
the AC motor drive may vary between 180V to 264 VAC 50Hz/60Hz. Therefore, when the AC
motor drive is used without AVR function, the output voltage will be the same as the input
voltage. When the motor runs at voltages exceeding the rated voltage with 12% - 20%, its
lifetime will be shorter and it can be damaged due to higher temperature, failing insulation and
unstable torque output.
AVR function automatically regulates the AC motor drive output voltage to the Maximum
Output Voltage (Pr.01.02). For instance, if Pr.01.02 is set at 200 VAC and the input voltage is
at 200V to 264VAC, then the Maximum Output Voltage will automatically be reduced to a
maximum of 200VAC.
When the motor ramps to stop, the deceleration time is longer. When setting this parameter to
2 with auto acceleration/deceleration, the deceleration will be quicker.

08.19 Reserved
08.20 Compensation Coefficient for Motor Instability Unit: 0.1

Settings 0.0~5.0 Factory Setting: 0.0
The drift current will occur in a specific zone of the motor and it will make motor instable. By
using this parameter, it will improve this situation greatly.
The drift current zone of the high-power motors is usually in the low frequency area.
It is recommended to set to more than 2.0.

ASCII mode:
LRC (Longitudinal Redundancy Check) is calculated by summing up, module 256, the values
of the bytes from ADR1 to last data character then calculating the hexadecimal
representation of the 2’s-complement negation of the sum.
For example, reading 1 word from address 0401H of the AC drive with address 01H.

CRC CHK Low 6FH
CRC CHK High F7H
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: Examine the LSB of CRC register.
Step 4: If the LSB of CRC register is 0, shift the CRC register one bit to the right with MSB
zero filling, then repeat step 3. If the LSB of CRC register is 1, shift the CRC register one bit
to the right with MSB zero filling, Exclusive OR the CRC register with the polynomial value
A001H, then repeat step 3.
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 step 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 are 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 Å a pointer to the message buffer
Unsigned char length Å 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;
while(length--){
reg_crc ^= *data++;

for(j=0;j<8;j++){
if(reg_crc & 0x01){ /* LSB(b0)=1 */
reg_crc=(reg_crc>>1) ^ 0xA001;
}else{
reg_crc=reg_crc >>1;
}
}
}
return reg_crc;
}

3.6 Exception response:
The AC motor drive is expected to return a normal response after receiving command
messages from the master device. The following depicts the conditions when no normal
response is replied to the master device.
The AC motor drive does not receive the messages due to a communication error; thus, the
AC motor drive has no response. The master device will eventually process a timeout
condition.
The AC motor drive receives the messages without a communication error, but cannot handle
them. An exception response will be returned to the master device and an error message
“CExx” will be displayed on the keypad of AC motor drive. The xx of “CExx” is a decimal code
equal to the exception code that is described below.
In the exception response, the most significant bit of the original command code is set to 1,
and an exception code which explains the condition that caused the exception is returned.
Example of an exception response of command code 06H and exception code 02H:

Factory Setting: 0
Settings 0 Positive PID feedback from external terminal AVI (0 ~ +10VDC)
1 Negative PID feedback from external terminal AVI (0 ~ +10VDC)

2 Positive PID feedback from external terminal ACI (4 ~ 20mA)
3 Negative PID feedback from external terminal ACI (4 ~ 20mA)
Note that the measured variable (feedback) controls the output frequency (Hz). Select input
terminal accordingly. Make sure this parameter setting does not conflict with the setting for
Pr.10.00 (Master Frequency).
When Pr.10.00 is set to 2 or 3, the set point (Master Frequency) for PID control is obtained
from the AVI or ACI external terminal (0 to +10V or 4-20mA) or from multi-step speed. When
Pr.10.00 is set to 1, the set point is obtained from the keypad.
Negative feedback means: +target value – feedback

Positive feedback means: -target value + feedback.
10.11 Source of PID Set point Unit: 0.01

This parameter is used in conjunction with Pr.10.00 set 4 to input a set point in Hz.
10.02 Proportional Gain (P) Unit: 0. 1

This parameter specifies proportional control and associated gain (P). If the other two gains (I
and D) are set to zero, proportional control is the only one effective. With 10% deviation (error)
and P=1, the output will be P x10% x Master Frequency.

When P is greater than 1, it will decrease the deviation and get the faster response speed. But
if setting too large value in Pr.10.02, it may cause the increased deviation during the stable
area.
NOTE
The parameter can be set during operation for easy tuning.
10.03 Integral Time ( I ) Unit: 0.01
0.00 Disable
This parameter specifies integral control (continual sum of the deviation) and associated gain
(I). When the integral gain is set to 1 and the deviation is fixed, the output is equal to the input
(deviation) once the integral time setting is attained.

It can use integral time to eliminate the deviation during the stable area. If setting too large
value in Pr.10.03, it may cause lower system response.
NOTE
10.04 Derivative Control (D) Unit: 0.01
This parameter specifies derivative control (rate of change of the input) and associated gain
(D). With this parameter set to 1, the PID output is equal to differential time x (present
deviation − previous deviation). It increases the response speed but it may cause over-
compensation.
NOTE
10.05 Upper Bound for Integral Control Unit: 1
Settings 0 to 100 % Factory Setting: 100

This parameter defines an upper bound or limit for the integral gain (I) and therefore limits the
Master Frequency.
The formula is: Integral upper bound = Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01.00) x (Pr.10.05).
This parameter can limit the Maximum Output Frequency.
10.06 Primary Delay Filter Time Unit: 0.1

To avoid amplification of measurement noise in the controller output, a derivative digital filter is
inserted. This filter helps to dampen oscillations.
The complete PID diagram is in the following:

Settings 0 to 110 % Factory Setting: 100
This parameter defines the percentage of output frequency limit during the PID control. The
formula is Output Frequency Limit = Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01.00) X Pr.10.07 %.

This parameter will limit the Maximum Output Frequency. An overall limit for the output
frequency can be set in Pr.01.07.
10.08 PID Feedback Signal Detection Time Unit: 0.1

Settings 0.0 to d 3600 sec Factory Setting: 60.0
This function in only for ACI signal.
This parameter defines the time during which the PID feedback must be abnormal before a
warning (see Pr.10.09) is given. It also can be modified according to the system feedback
signal time.
If this parameter is set to 0.0, the system would not detect any abnormality signal.

This function in only for ACI signal.

AC motor drive action when the feedback signals (analog PID feedback) are abnormal

10.10 Gain Over the PID Detection Value Unit: 0.1
This is the gain adjustment over the feedback detection value. Refer to PID control block
diagram in Pr.10.06 for detail.
10.12 PID Feedback Level Unit: 0.1

10.13 Detection Time of PID Feedback Unit: 0.1
This parameter is used to set detection of the offset between set point and feedback.
When the offset is higher than (the setting of Pr.10.12 X Pr.01.00) for a time exceeding the
setting of Pr.10.13, the AC motor drive will output a signal when Pr.03.00 is set to 16 and will
act according to Pr.10.20.
10.14 Sleep/Wake Up Detection Time Unit: 0.1
Settings 0.0 to 6550 sec Factory Setting: 0.0

10.15 Sleep Frequency Unit: 0.01
10.16 Wakeup Frequency Unit: 0.01
When the actual output frequency ≤ Pr.10.15 and the time exceeds the setting of Pr.10.14,
the AC motor drive will be in sleep mode.

When the actual frequency command > Pr.10.16 and the time exceeds the setting of Pr.10.14,
the AC motor drive will restart.
When the AC motor drive is in sleep mode, frequency command is still calculated by PID.
When frequency reaches wake up frequency, AC motor drive will accelerate from Pr.01.05
minimum frequency following the V/f curve.
The wake up frequency must be higher than sleep frequency.

When min. output frequency ≦ PID frequency ≦ lower bound of frequency and sleep function

(in sleep mode). If sleep function is disabled, frequency command = lower bound frequency.
When PID frequency < min. output frequency and sleep function is enabled (output frequency
≤ sleep frequency and time > detection time), output frequency =0 (in sleep mode).
If output frequency ≤ sleep frequency but time < detection time, frequency command = lower
frequency. If sleep function is disabled, output frequency =0.

In PID control mode, it will act according to Pr.10.20 when erroneous PID feedback level
occurs.
10.21 Restart Delay Time after Erroneous PID Deviation Level Unit: 1
10.22 Set Point Deviation Level Unit: 1

10.23 Detection Time of Set Point Deviation Level Unit: 1

When the deviation is less than Pr.10.22 (in the range of PID set point to Pr.10.22 X PID set
point) for a time exceeding the setting of Pr.10.23, the AC motor drive will decelerate to stop to
be constant pressure status (This deceleration time is the setting of Pr.01.12). The system will
be ready when the deviation is within the range of PID set point to Pr.10.22 X PID set point
during deceleration.

Example: suppose that the set point of constant pressure control of a pump is 4kg, Pr.10.22 is
set to 5%, Pr.10.23 is set to 15 seconds. It means that deviation is 0.2kg (4kgX5%=0.2kg), i.e.
when feedback value is higher than 3.8kg for a time exceeding 15 seconds, the AC motor
drive will decelerate to stop (this deceleration time will act according to Pr.01.12). When the
feedback value is less than 3.8kg, the AC motor drive will start to run.
10.24 Offset Level of Liquid Leakage Unit: 1

In the constant pressure status, when the liquid leakage is higher than Pr.10.24 X PID set
point, the AC motor drive will start to run.
It is used to prevent frequent run/stop operation due to liquid leakage.

When the change of feedback value is less than the settings of Pr.10.25 and Pr.10.26, it
means that the liquid is leaking. When the system is in constant pressure status, the AC motor
drive will start to run if the feedback value is higher than these two settings.

Pr.10.26 is set to 0.5 seconds. It means that offset is 0.2kg (4kgX5%=0.2kg), i.e. when
feedback value is higher than 3.8kg for a time exceeding 15 seconds, the AC motor drive will
decelerate to stop (this deceleration time will act according to Pr.01.12). When the feedback
value is less than 3.8kg, the AC motor drive will start to run.
Status 1: Suppose that the AC motor drive is in the constant pressure status and the feedback
change value is less than 0.12kg within 0.5 seconds. The AC motor drive won’t run until the
feedback value is decreased by this proportion to the value less than 3kg.
Status 2: When the AC motor drive is in constant pressure, it won’t run until the feedback
change value is less than 3.88kg (4-4kgX3%=3.88kg) for a time exceeding 0.5 seconds.

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-EL can have a built-in 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.

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.

Chapter 6 Fault Code Information and Maintenance
6.1 Fault Code Information
The AC motor drive has a comprehensive fault diagnostic system that includes several different
alarms and fault messages. Once a fault is detected, the corresponding protective functions will be
activated. The following faults are displayed as shown on the AC motor drive digital keypad display.
The five most recent faults can be read from the digital keypad or communication.
NOTE
Wait 5 seconds after a fault has been cleared before performing reset via keypad of input terminal.

6.1.2 Reset
There are three methods to reset the AC motor drive after solving the fault:
1. Press key on keypad.

2. Set external terminal to “RESET” (set one of Pr.04.05~Pr.04.08 to 05) and then set to be
ON.
3. Send “RESET” command by communication.
NOTE
Make sure that RUN command or signal is OFF before executing RESET to prevent damage or
personal injury due to immediate operation.
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 by measuring the voltage between ~ . It should be less than 25VDC.

DANGER!
1. Disconnect AC power before processing!

2. Only qualified personnel can install, wire and maintain AC motor drives. Please take off any
metal objects, such as watches and rings, before operation. And only insulated tools are
allowed.
3. Never reassemble internal components or wiring.
4. Prevent static electricity.

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 can’t
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. Definition for Brake Usage ED%
Explanation: The definition of the barke 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 brake torque
would decrease accordingly. Suggested cycle time is one minute

9. 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 brake 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.

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.

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 brake 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 decelerate within a
certain time with high load inertia that can’t 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
motor’s 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.

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 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 you’ll find the torque-speed characteristics of a standard motor (4-pole, 15kW):
