4.2Connecting Peripheral Devices to the VS1MD Drive

ATTENTION:Appropriate peripheral devices must be selected and correct connections made to ensure proper operation. You must read and

!understand this manual thoroughly before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.

The following devices are required to operate the VS1MD drive.

Table 4.2 – Peripheral Devices for the VS1MD Drive

 

 

 

 

 

AC Source Supply

Use a power supply within the

 

 

 

 

 

 

permissible range for the drive’s

 

 

 

 

 

 

input power rating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MCCB or Earth leakage

Select circuit breakers with care. A

 

 

 

 

 

circuit breaker (ELB)

large inrush current may flow in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

converter when power is turned on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Magnetic Contactor

Install a magnetic contactor if

 

 

 

 

 

 

necessary. When installed, do not

 

 

 

 

 

 

use the contactor for the purpose of

 

 

 

 

 

 

starting or stopping.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reactors

Reactors must be used when the

 

 

 

 

 

 

power factor needs to be improved

 

 

 

 

 

 

or the drive is installed within 10 m

 

 

 

 

 

 

of a large power supply system

 

 

 

 

 

 

(1000kVA or more).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Installation and wiring

To ensure optimal operation and

 

 

 

 

 

 

life span of the drive, install it in an

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

approriate place with proper

 

 

 

 

 

 

orientation and clearances.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Incorrect terminal wiring can result

 

 

 

 

 

 

in damage to the equipment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To motor

Do not connect a power factor

 

 

 

 

 

 

capacitor, surge suppresor, or radio

 

 

 

 

 

 

noise filter to the output side of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

drive.
