9.2Measures to be taken to satisfy the UL/CSA standards

All VF-AS1 series inverters are certified by UL and CSA, and have nameplates with UL and CSA markings.

9.2.1 Caution in installing the inverter!

A UL certificate was granted on the assumption that the inverter would be installed in a cabinet. Therefore, install the inverter in a cabinet and if necessary, take measures to maintain the ambient temperature (temperature in the cabinet) within the specified temperature range.

For models designed for 15kW motors or smaller, if the cover on the top of the inverter is removed, the ambient temperature can rise to 50°C in some cases, althoug h the maximum allowable ambient temperature is 40°C . Incidentally, models (with no cover on the top) designed for 18.5 kW motors or larger can be used at ambient temperatures of up to 50°C.

9.2.2 Caution in wiring and rated current!

Use the UL conformed cables (Rating 75 °C or more, Use the copper conductors only.) to the main circuit terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, U/T1, V/T2, W/T3). For FLA, FLB and FLC terminals, the round solderless terminal “V1.25-3” has to be used with UL-certified electric wire.

For instruction in the United States, Integral solid state short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit protection. Branch circuit protection must be provided in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any additional local codes.

For instruction in the Canada, Integral solid state short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit protection. Branch circuit protection must be provided in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code and any additional local codes.

￿For recommended electric wire sizes, see Tables 5.

UL-certified rated output current is not the same as inverter unit rated current. Refer to Table 5.

9.2.3 Caution as to peripheral devices!

Use the UL listed fuses at connecting to power supply.

The UL certification test on this inverter was conducted under the AIC* conditions shown in Table 4 (*: current that flows in the event of a short-circuit in the power supply). Note that AIC currents vary depending on the capacity of the motor used.
