Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring

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

„Connect these terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3) via a no-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 leakage-current breaker to prevent leakage current,

„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)

„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, the motor will rotate counterclockwise (as viewed on the shaft end of the motor) when a forward operation command is received. To permanently reverse the direction of motor rotation, switch over any of the two motor leads.

Forward running

„DO NOT connect phase-compensation capacitors or surge absorbers at the output terminals of AC motor drives.

„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.

„Use well-insulated motor, suitable for inverter operation.
