This manual is to be used for the installation, parameter setting, troubleshooting, and daily
maintenance of the AC motor drive. To guarantee safe operation of the equipment, read the following
safety guidelines before connecting power to the AC motor drive. Keep this operating manual at
hand and distribute to all users for reference.

To ensure the safety of operators and equipment, only qualified personnel familiar with AC motor
drive are to do installation, start-up and maintenance. Always read this manual thoroughly before
using VFD-S series AC Motor Drive, especially the WARNING, DANGER and CAUTION notes.
Failure to comply may result in personal injury and equipment damage. If you have any questions,
please contact your dealer.

PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION FOR SAFETY.

DANGER!

1. AC input power must be disconnected before any wiring to the AC motor drive is made.
2. A charge may still remain in the DC-link capacitors with hazardous voltages, even if the power
has been turned off. To prevent personal injury, please ensure that power has been turned off
before opening the AC motor drive and wait ten minutes for the capacitors to discharge to safe
voltage levels.
3. Never reassemble internal components or wiring.
4. The AC motor drive may be destroyed beyond repair if incorrect cables are connected to the
input/output terminals. Never connect the AC motor drive output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3
directly to the AC mains circuit power supply.
5. Ground the VFD-S using the ground terminal. The grounding method must comply with the laws
of the country where the AC motor drive is to be installed. Refer to the Basic Wiring Diagram.
6. VFD-S series is used only to control variable speed of 3-phase induction motors, NOT for 1-
phase motors or other purpose.
7. VFD-S series shall NOT be used for life support equipment or any life safety situation.
 WARNING!

1. DO NOT use Hi-pot test for internal components. The semi-conductor used in the AC motor
drive is easily damaged by high-pressure.
2. There are highly sensitive MOS components on the printed circuit boards. These components
are especially sensitive to static electricity. To prevent damage to these components, do not
touch these components or the circuit boards with metal objects or your bare hands.
3. Only qualified personnel are allowed to install, wire and maintain AC motor drive.

CAUTION!

1. Some parameter settings will cause the motor to run immediately after applying power.
2. DO NOT install the AC motor drive in a place subjected to high temperature, direct sunlight,
high humidity, excessive vibration, corrosive gases or liquids, or airborne dust or metallic
particles.
3. Only use AC motor drives within specification. Failure to comply may result in fire, explosion or
electric shock.
4. To prevent personal injury, please keep children and unqualified people away from the
equipment.
5. When the motor cable between the AC motor drive and motor is too long, the layer insulation of
the motor may be damaged. Please use a frequency inverter duty motor or add an AC output
reactor to prevent damage to the motor. Refer to appendix B Reactor for details.
6. The rated voltage for the AC motor drive must be  240V for 230V models ( 120V for 115V
models,  480V for 460V models) and the mains supply current capacity must be  5000A RMS
(10000A RMS for the  40hp (30kW) models).

2.4 Wiring

After removing the front cover, check if the power and control terminals are clear of debris. Be sure
to observe the following precautions when wiring.

 General Wiring Information

Applicable Codes
All VFD-S series are Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) and Canadian Underwriters
Laboratories (cUL) listed, and therefore comply with the requirements of the National Electrical
Code (NEC) and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).

Installation intended to meet the UL and cUL requirements must follow the instructions provided
in “Wiring Notes” as a minimum standard. Follow all local codes that exceed UL and cUL
requirements. Refer to the technical data label affixed to the AC motor drive and the motor
nameplate for electrical data.

The "Line Fuse Specification" in Appendix B, lists the recommended fuse part number for each
S-Series part number. These fuses (or equivalent) must be used on all installations where
compliance with U.L. standards is a required.

2-16 Revision April 2016, SE10, SW V2.61

 Chapter 2 Installation and WiringVFD-S Series

2.4.1 Basic Wiring

 Make sure that power is only applied to the R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 terminals. Failure to comply
may result in damage to the equipment. The voltage and current should lie within the
range as indicated on the nameplate.
 Check the following items after completing the wiring:
1. Are all connections correct?
2. No loose wires?
3. No short-circuits between terminals or to ground?

A charge may still remain in the DC bus capacitors with hazardous voltages even if the power
has been turned off. To prevent personal injury, please ensure that the power is turned off and
wait ten minutes for the capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels before opening the AC
motor drive.

DANGER!

1. All the units must be grounded directly to a common ground terminal to prevent electric shock,
fire and interference.
2. Only qualified personnel familiar with AC motor drives are allowed to perform installation, wiring
and commissioning.
3. Make sure that the power is off before doing any wiring to prevent electric shocks.

Basic Wiring Diagrams

Users must connect wires according to the circuit diagrams on the following pages. Do not plug a
modem or telephone line to the RS-485 communication port or permanent damage may result. Pins
1 & 2 are the power supply for the optional copy keypad only and should not be used for RS-485
communication.

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

 Connect these terminals via a non-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.
 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, or else phase loss may
occur.

Control circuit terminals (U/T1, V/T2, W/T3)

 When the AC drive output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3 are connected to the motor
terminals U, V, and W, 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.

Chapter 2 Installation and WiringVFD-S Series

 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 a well-insulated motor, suitable for inverter operation.

Terminals [+2/B1, +1] for connecting DC reactor

 This is the connector for the DC reactor to improve the power factor. Please remove the
short jumper when connecting DC reactor.

WARNING!

Short-circuiting [+2/B1, B2] can damage the AC motor drive.

Grounding terminals ( )
 Make sure that the leads are connected correctly and the AC drive is properly grounded.
(Ground resistance should not exceed 0.1Ω.)
 Use ground leads that comply with local regulations and keep them as short as possible.
 Multiple VFD-S units can be installed in one location. All the units should be grounded
directly to a common ground terminal, as shown in the figure below. Ensure there are
no ground loops.

Analog input terminals (AVI, GND)

 Analog input signals are easily affected by external noise. Use shielded wiring and keep
it as short as possible (<20m) with proper grounding. If the noise is inductive, connecting
the shield to terminal GND can bring improvement.
 If the analog input signals are affected by noise from the AC motor drive, please connect
a capacitor (0.1  F and above) and ferrite core as indicated in the following diagrams:

Digital inputs (M0~M5, GND)

 When using contacts or switches to control the digital inputs, please use high quality
components to avoid contact bounce.

Digital outputs (MO1, MCM)

 Make sure to connect the digital outputs to the right polarity, see wiring diagrams.
 When connecting a relay to the digital outputs, connect a surge absorber or fly-back
diode across the coil and check the polarity.

General
 Keep control wiring as far as possible from the power wiring and in separate conduits to
avoid interference. If necessary let them cross only at 90º angle.
 The AC motor drive control wiring should be properly installed and not touch any live
power wiring or terminals.

NOTE

 If a filter is required for reducing EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference), install it as close as
possible to AC drive. EMI can also be reduced by lowering the Carrier Frequency.
 When using a general GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), select a current sensor
with sensitivity of 200mA or above, and not less than 0.1-second detection time to avoid
nuisance tripping. For the specific GFCI of the AC motor drive, please select a current
sensor with sensitivity of 30mA or above.

DANGER!

Damaged insulation of wiring may cause personal injury or damage to circuits/equipment if it comes
in contact with high voltage.

3.1 Preparations before Start-up

Carefully check the following items before proceeding.

 Make sure that the wiring is correct. In particular, check that the output terminals U/T1,
V/T2, W/T3 are NOT connected to power and that the drive is well grounded.
 Verify that there are no short-circuits between terminals and from terminals to ground or
mains power.
 Check for loose terminals, connectors or screws.
 Verify that no other equipment is connected to the AC motor.
 Make sure that all switches are OFF before applying power to ensure that the AC motor
drive doesn’t start running and there is no abnormal operation after applying power.
 Make sure that the front cover is correctly installed before applying power.
 Do NOT operate the AC motor drive with humid hands.
 Check the following items after applying power: The display without digital keypad should
be as following.
-The keypad should light up as follows (normal status with no error)

 Chapter 3 Start Up VFD-S Series

NOTE
1. Stop running immediately if any fault occurs and refer to the troubleshooting guide for solving the
problem.
2. Do NOT touch output terminals U/T1, V/T2, W/T3 when power is still applied to R/L1, S/L2, T/L3
even when the AC motor drive has stopped. The DC-link capacitors may still be charged to
hazardous voltage levels, even if the power has been turned off.
3. To avoid damage to components, do not touch them or the circuit boards with metal objects or
your bare hands.

 When the AC drive is controlled by an external source, please refer to parameter group 4 for
detailed explanations on related parameter settings.

2-02 Stop Method

Factory Setting: d0
Settings d0 STOP: ramp to stop E.F.: coast to stop
d1 STOP: coast to stop E.F.: coast to stop

 The parameter determines how the motor is stopped when the AC motor drive receives a
valid stop command or detects External Fault.

Ramp: the AC motor drive decelerates to Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.1-05) according to
the deceleration time set in Pr.1-10 or Pr.1-12 and then stops.
Coast: the AC motor drive stops the output instantly upon command, and the motor free

runs until it comes to a complete standstill.

The motor stop method is usually determined by the characteristics of the motor load and
how frequently it is stopped.
(1) It is recommended to use “ramp to stop” for safety of personnel or to prevent material
from being wasted in applications where the motor has to stop after the drive is
stopped. The deceleration time has to be set accordingly.

(2) If motor free running is allowed or the load inertia is large, it is recommended to select
“coast to stop”. For example: blowers, punching machines, centrifuges and pumps.

3-00 Analog Output Signal (AFM)

Factory Setting: d0
Settings d0 Analog Frequency Meter (0 to Maximum Output Frequency)
d1 Analog Current Meter (0 to 250% of rated AC motor drive current)

 This parameter sets the function of the AFM output 0~+10VDC (ACM is common).
 The voltage output type for this analog signal is PWM. It needs to read value by the movable

coil meter and is not suitable for A/D signal conversion.

3-01 Analog Output Gain Unit: 1

 The parameter sets the voltage range of the analog output signal at terminals AFM, that
corresponds with either the output frequency or the output current of the VFD.

Analog Frequency Meter Analog Current Meter

 The analog output voltage is directly proportional to the output frequency of the AC drive. With

the factory setting of 100%, the Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.1-00) of the AC drive
corresponds to +10VDC analog voltage output. (The actual voltage is about +10VDC, and
can be adjusted by Pr.3-01).
 The analog output voltage is directly proportional to the output current of the AC drive. With
the factory setting of 100%, the 2.5 times rated current of the AC drive corresponds to
+10VDC analog voltage output. (The actual voltage is about +10VDC, and can be adjusted by

Pr. 3-01)
 The voltage output type of the output signal at terinals AFM is PWM, so this analog voltage is
only suitable to connect an external movable coil meter, not suitable to connect a digital meter

or for A/D signal conversion.

NOTE
Voltmeter specification: The sourcing capability of the output is limited to 0.21mA. Sourcing voltage:
10V. Output resistance: 47kΩ.
If the meter reads full scale at a voltage less than 10 volts, then Pr.3-01 should be set by the
following formula: Pr.3-01 = ((meter full scale voltage)/10) ×100%

Revision April 2016, SE10, SW V2.61 5-31

can be triggered by the external terminal (Pr.4-4 to Pr.4-8, d19). Upon completion of counting,
the specified output terminal will be activated. (Pr.3-05, Pr.3-06, d14).

3-04 Preliminary Count Value Unit: 1

Settings d0 to d999 Factory Setting: d0

 When the counter value is counted up from “1” to the setting value of this parameter, the
corresponding multi-function output terminal which set to d15 as Preliminary Counter Value
Attained will be closed. The application can be that closing the multi-function output terminal

makes the AC drive operate at low speed until stop before the counting value is going to be
attained.

 DC Brake during Start-up is used for loads that may move before AC drive starts, such as
fans and pumps. These loads may also be moving in the wrong direction. Under such
circumstances, DC Brake can be executed to hold the load in position before applying a
forward motion.

Factory Setting: d0
Settings d0 AVR function enabled

 AVR function automatically regulates the AC drive output voltage to the Maximum Output
Voltage (Pr.1-02). For instance, if Pr.1-02 is set at 200 VAC and the input voltage is at 200V
to 264VAC, then the Maximum Output Voltage will automatically be reduced to a maximum of
200 VAC.
 Without AVR function, the Maximum Output Voltage may vary between 180V to 264VAC, due
to the input voltage varying between 180V to 264 VAC.

 Selecting program value d2 enables the AVR function and also disables the AVR function
during deceleration. This offers a quicker deceleration.

 During deceleration, the DC-bus voltage will increase due to motor regeneration. When DC
bus voltage level exceeds the Software Brake Level, the DC brake output pins (B1, B2) will be
activated.

3.2 ADR (Communication Address)

Valid communication addresses are in the range of 0 to 254. A communication address
equal to 0, means broadcast to all AC drives (AMD). In this case, the AMD will not reply
any message to the master device.
00H: broadcast to all AC drives
01H: AC drive of address 01
0FH: AC drive of address 15
10H: AC drive of address 16
:
FEH: AC drive of address 254

3.4 Check sum

ASCII mode:
LRC (Longitudinal Redundancy Check) is calculated by summing up, module 256, the values of
the bytes from ADR1 to last data character then calculating the hexadecimal representation of
the 2’s-complement negation of the sum.
For example, reading 1 word from address 0401H of the AC drive with address 01H

STX ‘:’
ADR 1 ‘0’
ADR 0 ‘1’
CMD1 ‘0’
CMD0 ‘3’
Starting data address ‘0’

‘0’
‘1’
Number of data ‘0’
‘0’
‘0’
‘1’
LRC CHK 1 ‘F’
LRC CHK 0 ‘6’
END1 CR
END0 LF
01H+03H+04H+01H+00H+01H=0AH, the 2’s-complement negation of 0AH is F6H.

RTU mode:
ADR 01H
CMD 03H
Starting address 21H
02H
Number of data 00H
(count by word) 02H
CRC CHK Low 6FH
CRC CHK High F7H

CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) is calculated by the following steps:

Step 1: Load a 16-bit register (called CRC register) with FFFFH.
Step 2: Exclusive OR the first 8-bit byte of the command message with the low order byte of the
16-bit CRC register, putting the result in the CRC register.
Step 3: Examine the LSB of CRC register.
Step 4: If the LSB of CRC register is 0, shift the CRC register one bit to the right with MSB zero
filling, then repeat step 3. If the LSB of CRC register is 1, shift the CRC register one bit
to the right with MSB zero filling, Exclusive OR the CRC register with the polynomial
value A001H, then repeat step 3.

Revision April 2016, SE10, SW V2.61 5-69

Chapter 5 ParametersVFD-S Series

Step 5: Repeat step 3 and 4 until eight shifts have been performed. When this is done, a
complete 8-bit byte will have been processed.
Step 6: Repeat step 2 to 5 for the next 8-bit byte of the command message. Continue doing this
until all bytes have been processed. The final contents of the CRC register are the
CRC value. When transmitting the CRC value in the message, the upper and lower
bytes of the CRC value must be swapped, i.e. the lower order byte will be transmitted
first.

The following is an example of CRC generation using C language. The function takes two
arguments:
Unsigned char* data  a pointer to the message buffer
Unsigned char length  the quantity of bytes in the message buffer
The function returns the CRC value as a type of unsigned integer.
Unsigned int crc_chk(unsigned char* data, unsigned char length){
int j;
unsigned int reg_crc=0xFFFF;
while(length--){
reg_crc ^= *data++;
for(j=0;j<8;j++){
if(reg_crc & 0x01){ /* LSB(b0)=1 */
reg_crc=(reg_crc>>1) ^ 0xA001;
}else{
reg_crc=reg_crc >>1;
}
}
}
return reg_crc;
}

3.6 Exception response:

The AC motor drive is expected to return a normal response after receiving command
messages from the master device. The following depicts the conditions when no normal
response is replied to the master device.
The AC motor drive does not receive the messages due to a communication error; thus, the AC
motor drive has no response. The master device will eventually process a timeout condition.
The AC motor drive receives the messages without a communication error, but cannot handle
them. An exception response will be returned to the master device and an error message
“CExx” will be displayed on the keypad of AC motor drive. The xx of “CExx” is a decimal code
equal to the exception code that is described below.
In the exception response, the most significant bit of the original command code is set to 1, and
an exception code which explains the condition that caused the exception is returned.

7.13 Electromagnetic/Induction Noise

Many sources of noise surround AC motor drives and penetrate it by radiation or conduction. It may
cause malfunctioning of the control circuits and even damage the AC motor drive. Of course, there
are solutions to increase the noise tolerance of an AC motor drive. But this has its limits. Therefore,
solving it from the outside as follows will be the best.
1. Add surge suppressor on the relays and contacts to suppress switching surges.
2. Shorten the wiring length of the control circuit or serial communication and keep them
separated from the power circuit wiring.
3. Comply with the wiring regulations by using shielded wires and isolation amplifiers for
long wire length.
4. The grounding terminal should comply with the local regulations and be grounded
independently, i.e. not to have common ground with electric welding machines and other
power equipment.
5. Connect a noise filter at the mains input terminal of the AC motor drive to filter noise from
the power circuit. VFD-S can have a built-in filter as option.

In short, solutions for electromagnetic noise exist of “no product”(disconnect disturbing equipment),
“no spread”(limit emission for disturbing equipment) and “no receive”(enhance immunity).

7.14 Environmental Condition

Since the AC motor drive is an electronic device, you should comply with the environmental
conditions as stated in the Chapter 2.1. The following step should also be.
1. To prevent vibration, the use of anti-vibration dampers is the last choice. Vibrations must
be within the specification. Vibration causes mechanical stress and it should not occur
frequently, continuously or repeatedly to prevent damaging to the AC motor drive.
2. Store the AC motor drive in a clean and dry location, free from corrosive fumes/dust to
prevent corroded contacts. It also may cause short by low insulation in a humid location.
The solution is to use both paint and dust-proof. For particular occasion, use the
enclosure with whole-seal structure.
3. The ambient temperature should be within the specification. Too high or too low
temperature will affect the lifetime and reliability. For semiconductor components, damage
will occur once any specification is out of range. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically
check air quality and the cooling fan and provide extra cooling of necessary. In addition,
the microcomputer may not work in extremely low temperatures, making cabinet heating
necessary.

Revision April 2016, SE10, SW V2.61 7-9

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting VFD-S Series

4. Store within a relative humidity range of 0% to 90% and non-condensing environment.

Use an air conditioner and/or exsiccator.

7.15 Affecting Other Machines

An AC motor drive may affect the operation of other machines due to many reasons. Some solutions
are:

 High Harmonics at Power Side

High harmonics at power side during running can be improved by:
1. Separate the power system: use a transformer for AC motor drive.
2. Use a reactor or rectifier at the power input terminal of the AC motor drive or decrease

high harmonic by multiple circuit.

3. If phase lead capacitors are used (never on the AC motor drive output!!), use serial
reactors to prevent capacitors damage from high harmonics.

serial reactor

phase lead capacitor

 Motor Temperature Rises

When the motor is a standard induction motor with fan, the cooling will be bad at low speeds,
causing the motor to overheat. Besides, high harmonics at the output increases copper and
core losses. The following measures should be used depending on load and operation range.
1. Use a motor with independent ventilation (forced external cooling) or increase the motor
rated power.
2. Use a special inverter duty motor.

3. Do NOT run in the low speed range.

7-10 Revision April 2016, SE10, SW V2.61

 Chapter 8 Maintenance and Inspections

Modern AC motor drives are based on solid-state electronics technology. Preventive maintenance is
required to keep the AC motor drive in its optimal condition, and to ensure a long life. It is
recommended to have a qualified technician perform a check-up of the AC motor drive regularly.

Daily Inspection:

Basic check-up items to detect if there were any abnormalities during operation are:

1. Whether the motors are operating as expected.

2. Whether the installation environment is abnormal.
3. Whether the cooling system is operating as expected.
4. Whether any irregular vibration or sound occurred during operation.
5. Whether the motors are overheating during operation.
6. Always check the input voltage of the AC drive with a Voltmeter.

Periodic Inspection:

Before the check-up, always turn off the AC input power and remove the cover. Wait at least 10
minutes after all display lamps have gone out, and then confirm that the capacitors have fully
discharged by measuring the voltage between ~ . It should be less than 25VDC.

DANGER!

1. Disconnect AC power before processing!

2. Only qualified personnel shall install, wire and maintain AC motor drives. Please take off any metal
objects, such as watches and rings, before operation. And only insulated tools are allowed.
3. Never reassemble internal components or wiring.
4. Prevent electric shocks.

NOTE
1. Please select the brake unit and/or brake resistor according to the table. “-“ means no
Delta product. Please use the brake unit according to the Equivalent Resistor Value.
2. If damage to the drive or other equipment is due to the fact that the brake resistors and
the brake modules in use are not provided by Delta, the warranty will be void.
3. Take into consideration the safety of the environment when installing the brake resistors.
4. If the minimum resistance value is to be utilized, consult local dealers for the calculation of
the power in Watt.
5. Please select thermal relay trip contact to prevent resistor over load. Use the contact to
switch power off to the AC motor drive!
6. When using more than 2 brake units, equivalent resistor value of parallel brake unit can’t
be less than the value in the column “Minimum Equivalent Resistor Value for Each AC
Drive” (the right-most column in the table).

7. Please read the wiring information in the user manual of the brake unit thoroughly prior to
installation and operation.
8. In applications with brake resistor or brake unit, Pr.6-00 (Over-voltage stall prevention)
must be disabled. And Pr.8-15 (AVR function) shall not be used.
9. Definition for Brake Usage ED%
Explanation: The definition of the barke usage ED(%) is for assurance of enough time for
the brake unit and brake resistor to dissipate away heat generated by braking. When the
brake resistor heats up, the resistance would increase with temperature, and brake torque
would decrease accordingly. Suggest cycle time is one minute

10. For safety reasons, install a thermal overload relay between brake unit and brake resistor.
Together with the magnetic contactor (MC) in the mains supply circuit to the drive it offers
protection in case of any malfunctioning. The purpose of installing the thermal overload
relay is to protect the brake resistor against damage due to frequent braking or in case
the brake unit is continuously on due to unusual high input voltage. Under these
circumstances the thermal overload relay switches off the power to the drive. Never let
the thermal overload relay switch off only the brake resistor as this will cause serious
damage to the AC Motor Drive.

Installation
All electrical equipment, including AC motor drives, will generate high-frequency/low-frequency noise
and will interfere with peripheral equipment by radiation or conduction when in operation. By using
an EMI filter with correct installation, much interference can be eliminated. It is recommended to use
DELTA EMI filter to have the best interference elimination performance.

We assure that it can comply with following rules when AC motor drive and EMI filter are installed
and wired according to user manual:
 EN61000-6-4
 EN61800-3: 1996 + A11: 2000
 EN55011 (1991) Class A Group 1 (1st Environment, restricted distribution)

General precaution
1. EMI filter and AC motor drive should be installed on the same metal plate.
2. Please install AC motor drive on footprint EMI filter or install EMI filter as close as possible
to the AC motor drive.
3. Please wire as short as possible.
4. Metal plate should be grounded.
5. The cover of EMI filter and AC motor drive or grounding should be fixed on the metal plate
and the contact area should be as large as possible.

Choose suitable motor cable and precautions

Improper installation and choice of motor cable will affect the performance of EMI filter. Be sure to
observe the following precautions when selecting motor cable.

B-4 Revision April 216, SE10, SW V2.61

 Appendix B AccessoriesVFD-S Series

1. Use the cable with shielding (double shielding is the best).

2. The shielding on both ends of the motor cable should be grounded with the minimum
length and maximum contact area.
3. Remove any paint on metal saddle for good ground contact with the plate and shielding.

Appendix B AccessoriesVFD-S Series

The length of motor cable

When motor is driven by an AC motor drive of PWM type, the motor terminals will experience surge
voltages easily due to components conversion of AC motor drive and cable capacitance. When the
motor cable is very long (especially for the 460V series), surge voltages may reduce insulation
quality. To prevent this situation, please follow the rules below:
 Use a motor with enhanced insulation.
 Connect an output reactor (optional) to the output terminals of the AC motor drive
 The length of the cable between AC motor drive and motor should be as short as
possible (10 to 20 m or less)
 For models 7.5hp/5.5kW and above:

Insulation level of motor 1000V 1300V 1600V

460VAC input voltage 66 ft (20m) 328 ft (100m) 1312 ft (400m)

230VAC input voltage 1312 ft (400m) 1312 ft (400m) 1312 ft (400m)

 For models 5hp/3.7kW and less:

Insulation level of motor 1000V 1300V 1600V

460VAC input voltage 66 ft (20m) 165 ft (50m) 165 ft (50m)

230VAC input voltage 328 ft (100m) 328 ft (100m) 328 ft (100m)

NOTE
When a thermal O/L relay protected by motor is used between AC motor drive and motor, it may
malfunction (especially for 460V series), even if the length of motor cable is only 165 ft (50m) or less.
To prevent it, please use AC reactor and/or lower the carrier frequency (Pr. 02-03 PWM carrier
frequency).

NOTE
Never connect phase lead capacitors or surge absorbers to the output terminals of the AC motor
drive.

B-6 Revision April 216, SE10, SW V2.61

 Appendix B AccessoriesVFD-S Series

 If the length is too long, the stray capacitance between cables will increase and may
cause leakage current. It will activate the protection of over current, increase leakage
current or not insure the correction of current display. The worst case is that AC motor
drive may damage.
 If more than one motor is connected to the AC motor drive, the total wiring length is the
sum of the wiring length from AC motor drive to each motor.

 Appendix C How to Select the Right AC Motor Drive

The choice of the right AC motor drive for the application is very important and has great influence
on its lifetime and the performance. If the capacity of AC motor drive is too large, it cannot offer
complete protection to the motor and it may be damaged. If the capacity of AC motor drive is too
small, it cannot offer the required performance and the AC motor drive may be damaged due to
overloading.

But by simply selecting the AC motor drive of the same capacity as the motor, user application
requirements cannot always be fully met. Therefore, a designer should consider all the conditions,
including load type, load speed, load characteristic, operation method, rated output, rated speed,
power and the change of load capacity. The following table lists the factors you need to consider,
depending on your requirements.

C.2 General Precautions

Selection Note
A. When the AC Motor Drive is connected directly to a large-capacity power transformer
(600kVA or above) or when phase lead capacitors are switched, excess peak currents
may occur in the power input circuit and the rectifier section might be damaged. To avoid
this, use an AC input reactor (optional) before AC Motor Drive mains input to reduce the
current and improve the input power efficiency.
B. When a special motor is used or more than one motor is driven in parallel with a single
AC Motor Drive, select the AC Motor Drive current 1.25x(Sum of the motor rated
currents).
C. The starting and accel./decel. characteristics of a motor are limited by the rated current
and the overload protection of the AC Motor Drive. Compared to running the motor
D.O.L. (Direct On-Line), a lower starting torque output with AC Motor Drive can be
expected. If higher starting torque is required (such as for elevators, mixers, tooling
machines, etc.) use an AC Motor Drive of higher capacity or increase the capacities for
both the motor and the AC Motor Drive.
D. When an error occurs on the drive, a protective circuit will be activated and the AC Motor
Drive output is turned off and the motor will coast to stop. For an emergency stop, an
external mechanical brake is needed to quickly stop the motor.

Parameter Settings Note

A. The AC Motor Drive can be driven at an output frequency up to 400Hz (less for some
models). Setting errors may create a dangerous situation. For safety, the use of the
upper limit frequency function is strongly recommended.
B. High DC brake operating voltages and long operation time (at low frequencies) may
cause overheating of the motor. In that case, forced external motor cooling is
recommended.
C. Motor accel./decel. time is determined by motor rated torque, load torque, and load
inertia.

C-4 Revision April 216, SE10, SW V2.61

Chapter 8Appendix C How to Select the Right AC Motor Drive

VFD-S Series

D. If the stall prevention function is activated, the accel./decel. time is automatically

extended to a length that the AC Motor Drive can handle. If the motor needs to
decelerate within a certain time with high load inertia that can’t be handled by the AC
Motor Drive in the required time, either use an external brake resistor and/or brake unit,
depending on the model, (to shorten deceleration time only) or increase the capacity for
both the motor and the AC Motor Drive.

C.3 How to Choose a Suitable Motor

Standard motor
When using the AC Motor Drive to control a standard 3-phase induction motor, take the
following precautions:
A. The motor losses are greater than for an inverter duty motor.
B. Avoid running the motor at low speed for a long time. Under this condition, the motor
temperature may rise above the motor rating due to limited airflow produced by the
motor’s fan. Consider external forced motor cooling.
C. When the standard motor operates at low speed for long time, the output load must be
decreased.
D. The load tolerance of a standard motor is as follows:

Load duty-cycle
25%
40% 60%
100
82
torque(%)

70
60
50 continuous

0 3 6 20 60
Frequency (Hz)

E. If 100% continuous torque is required at low speed, it may be necessary to use a special
inverter duty motor.

Chapter 8Appendix C How to Select the Right AC Motor Drive

VFD-S Series

F. Motor dynamic balance and rotor endurance should be considered if the operating speed
exceeds the rated speed (60Hz) of a standard motor.
G. Motor torque characteristics vary when an AC Motor Drive instead of commercial power
supply drives the motor. Check the load torque characteristics of the machine to be
connected.
H. Because of the high carrier frequency PWM control of the VFD series, pay attention to
the following motor vibration problems:
 Resonant mechanical vibration: anti-vibration (damping) rubbers should be
used to mount equipment that runs at varying speed.
 Motor imbalance: special care is required for operation at 50 or 60 Hz and
higher frequency.
 To avoid resonances, use the Skip frequencies.

I. The motor fan will be very noisy when the motor speed exceeds 50 or 60Hz.

Special motors:
A. Pole-changing (Dahlander) motor:
The rated current is different from that of a standard motor. Please check before
operation and select the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. When changing the
pole number the motor needs to be stopped first. If over current occurs during operation
or regenerative voltage is too high, please let the motor free run to stop (coast).
B. Submersible motor:
The rated current is higher than that of a standard motor. Please check before operation
and choose the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. With long motor cable between
AC motor drive and motor, available motor torque is reduced.
C. Explosion-proof (Ex) motor:
Needs to be installed in a safe place and the wiring should comply with the (Ex)
requirements. Delta AC Motor Drives are not suitable for (Ex) areas with special
precautions.

VFD-S Series

D. Gear reduction motor:

The lubricating method of reduction gearbox and speed range for continuous operation
will be different and depending on brand. The lubricating function for operating long time
at low speed and for high-speed operation needs to be considered carefully.

E. Synchronous motor:
The rated current and starting current are higher than for standard motors. Please check
before operation and choose the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. When the AC
motor drive operates more than one motor, please pay attention to starting and changing
the motor.

Power Transmission Mechanism

Pay attention to reduced lubrication when operating gear reduction motors, gearboxes, belts
and chains, etc. over longer periods at low speeds. At high speeds of 50/60Hz and above,
lifetime reducing noises and vibrations may occur.

Motor torque
The torque characteristics of a motor operated by an AC motor drive and commercial mains
power are different.
Below you’ll find the torque-speed characteristics of a standard motor (4-pole, 15kW):
