VFD-F Series

Preface

Thank you for choosing DELTA’s high-performance VFD-F Series. VFD-F Series are manufactured by adopting high-quality components, material and incorporating the latest microprocessor technology available.

Getting Started

This manual will be helpful in the installation, parameter setting, troubleshooting, and daily maintenance of the AC motor drives. To guarantee safe operation of the equipment, read the following safety guidelines before connecting power to the AC drives. Keep this operating manual handy and distribute to all users for reference.

Always read this manual thoroughly before using VFD-F series AC Motor Drives. Ensure that VFD-F is grounded in a correct way before putting it into use.

DANGER! AC input power must be disconnected before any maintenance. Do not connect or disconnect wires and connectors while power is applied to the circuit. Maintenance must be performed by qualified technicians.

CAUTION! There are highly sensitive MOS components on the printed circuit boards. These components are especially sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damage to these components, do not touch these components or the circuit boards with metal objects or your bare hands.

DANGER! A charge may still remain in the DC-link capacitor with hazardous voltages even if the power has been turned off. To avoid personal injury, do not remove the cover of the AC drive until all “DISPLAY LED” lights on the digital keypad are off. Please note that there are live components exposed within the AC drive. Do not touch these live parts.

CAUTION! Ground the VFD-F using the ground terminal. The grounding method must comply with the laws of the country where the AC drive is to be installed. Refer to Basic Wiring Diagram.

DANGER! The AC drive may be destroyed beyond repair if incorrect cables are connected to the input/output terminals. Never connect the AC drive output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3 directly to the AC main circuit power supply.

CAUTION! The final enclosures of the AC drive must comply with EN50178. (Live parts shall be arranged in enclosures or located behind barriers that meet at least the requirements of the Protective Type IP20. The top surface of the enclosures or barrier that is easily accessible shall meet at least the requirements of the Protective Type IP40). (VFD-F series corresponds with this regulation.)

CAUTION! The rated voltage for the AC motor drive must be 240V for 230V models (480V for 460V models) and the mains supply current capacity must be 5000A RMS (10000A RMS for the 40hp (30kW) models)

CAUTION! Heat sink may heat up over 70oC (158oF), during the operation. Do not touch the heat sink.

VFD-F Series specifications

Delta Electronics has established itself as a leader in the production of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), and the VFD-F Series exemplifies their commitment to innovation and efficiency in motor control solutions. Designed for a wide range of applications, the VFD-F Series ensures seamless operation in various industrial settings, from pumps and fans to conveyor systems and HVAC equipment.

One of the primary features of the VFD-F Series is its compact design, which allows for easy integration into existing systems without consuming excessive space. This makes it an ideal choice for projects where space is limited. The series also boasts a high IP20 protection rating, ensuring that the drives are safeguarded against dust and accidental contact, contributing to their reliability and longevity.

The VFD-F Series utilizes advanced control technologies, including vector control and scalar control. Vector control provides precise torque and speed control, allowing for optimal performance under varying load conditions. This is particularly advantageous in applications requiring high accuracy, such as robotics and machine tools. The scalar control mode, on the other hand, is simpler and suitable for applications where precise control is not as critical.

Energy efficiency is a hallmark of the VFD-F Series. By allowing users to control motor speed and torque based on the actual demand, these drives can significantly reduce energy consumption compared to traditional fixed-speed motors. Coupled with Delta's energy-saving algorithms, the VFD-F Series not only promotes sustainable operation but also helps lower operational costs.

Another key characteristic of the VFD-F Series is its user-friendly interface. The intuitive control panel and programmable features enable quick setup and adjustments. Furthermore, the series supports multiple communication protocols, including Modbus, CANopen, and EtherCAT, which facilitate integration into various automation systems.

Safety features are paramount in the design of the VFD-F Series. It includes built-in protections against over-voltage, over-current, and overheating, ensuring safe operation in demanding environments. Additionally, its compliance with international safety standards underlines its reliability and robustness.

In summary, Delta Electronics' VFD-F Series stands out with its compact design, advanced control technologies, energy efficiency, user-friendly interface, and integral safety features. These characteristics make it a formidable solution for industries seeking high-performance motor control while maximizing efficiency and safety. As the demand for integrated and intelligent automation solutions grows, the VFD-F Series is well-positioned to meet these challenges head-on, reinforcing Delta Electronics’ reputation as a pioneer in the field.
