1.2Basic Configuration

OUTLINE

1.2.1 Basic configuration

The following devices are required to operate the inverter. Proper peripheral devices must be selected and correct connections made to ensure proper operation. Incorrect system configuration and connections can cause the inverter to operate improperly, its life to be reduced considerably, and in the worst case, the inverter to be damaged.

Please handle the inverter properly in accordance with the information in each section as well as the precautions and instructions of this manual. (For connections of the peripheral devices, refer to the corresponding manuals.)

Description

Power supply

Use the power supply within the permissible

power supply specifications of the inverter.

 

 

 

Earth leakage

The breaker should be selected with care

since a large inrush current flows in the

circuit breaker

inverter at power on.

(ELB) or no-fuse

The breaker must have overcurrent

breaker (NFB)

protection and earth leakage protection.

 

 

 

 

The magnetic contactor need not be

Magnetic

provided. When installed, do not use

contactor

it to start or stop the inverter. It might reduce

 

the inverter life.

 

 

 

The reactors must be used when the power

 

factor is to be improved or the inverter is

Reactors

installed near a large power supply system

(ten times or more of Inverter Output, and

 

 

wiring distance within 10m (32.81 feet) ).

 

Make selection carefully.

 

z The inverter life is influenced by ambient

 

temperature. The ambient temperature

 

should be as low as possible within the

 

permissible range.

Inverter

This must be noted especially when the

inverter is installed in an enclosure.

 

 

z Incorrect wiring might lead to inverter

 

damage. The control signal lines must be

 

kept fully away from the main circuit to

 

protect them from noise.

 

 

Devices

Do not connect a power capacitor, surge

connected to the

suppressor or radio noise filter to the output

output

side.

 

 

Ground

To prevent an electric shock, always ground

the motor and inverter.
