Note 1. Capacity is calculated at 220V for the 240V models, at 440V for the 500V models.
Note 2. Indicates rated output current setting when the PWM carrier frequency (parameter f300) is 4kHz or less. When exceeding 4kHz, the rated output current setting is indicated in theparentheses. It needs to be further reduced for PWM carrier frequencies above 12 kHz.
The rated output current is reduced even further for 500V models with a supply voltage of 480V or more.
The default setting of the PWM carrier frequency is 12kHz.
Note 3. Maximum output voltage is the same as the input voltage.
Note 4. At 180V-264V for the 240V models, at 342V-550V for the 500V models when the inverter is used continuously (load of 100%).
Note 5. Required power supply capacity varies with the value of the power supply side inverter impedance (including those of the input reactor and cables).

emergency stop or resetting. Possible to write-protect parameters by setting 4 digits password and terminal input.
Possible to keep the motor running using its regenerative energy in case of a momentary power failure (default: OFF).
In the event of a momentary power failure, the inverter reads the rotational speed of the coasting motor and outputs a frequency appropriate
to the rotational speed in order to restart the motor smoothly. This function can also be used when switching to commercial power.
Increases the operating efficiency of the machine by increasing the rotational speed of the motor when it is operated under light load.
When two or more inverters are used to operate a single load, this function prevents load from concentrating on one inverter due to unbalance.
External input signal adjustment is possible to the operation frequency command value.

Note 1: Be sure to attach a surge absorber to the exciting coil of the relay and the magnetic contactor.
Note 2: When using the auxiliary contacts 2a of the magnetic contactor MC for the control circuit, connect the contacts 2a in parallel to increase reliability.
Note 3: Select an MCCB with a rated interrupting current appropriate to the capacity of the power supply, because short-circuit currents vary greatly depending on the capacity of the power supply and the condition of the wiring system.
The MCCB, MC and ELCB in this table were selected, on the assumption that a power supply with a normal capacity would be used.
Note 4: Sizes of the wires connected to the input terminals R/L1, S/L2 and T/L3 and the output terminals U/T1, V/T2 and W/T3 when the length of each wire does not exceed 30m.
Note 5: For the control circuit, use shielded wires 0.75 mm2 or more in diameter.
Note 6: For grounding, use a cable with a size equal to or larger than the above.
Note 7: The wire sizes specified in the above table apply to HIV wires (copper wires shielded with an insulator with a maximum allowable temperature of 75°C) used at an ambient temperature of 50°C or less.

Generally, a DC reactor improves the power
factor more than an input AC reactor. When the
inverter is used along with equipment for whicha high degree of reliability is required, an input
AC reactor capable of suppressing external
surges should be used along with a DC reactor.

These types of filters are not necessary because
all single-phase 240V or 3-phase 500V models
have a built-in EMC noise filter, The built-in filter
meets IEC61800-3. But install these filters ifof noise reduction move and more.

Leakage current which increases when an
inverter is used may pass through the following routes:
Route (1) ... Leakage due to the capacitance
between the ground and thenoise reduction filter
Route (2) ... Leakage due to the capacitance
between the ground and theinverterRoute (3) ... Leakage due to the capacitance
between ground and the cableconnecting the inverter and the

Route (4) ... Leakage due to the capacitanceof the cable connecting the
motor and an inverter in anotherpower distribution line
Route (5) ... Leakage through the grounding
line common to motors
Route (6) ... Leakage to another line becauseof the capacitance of the ground
Leakage current which passes throughthe above routes may cause the following
troubles.
• Malfunction of a leakage circuit
breaker(ELCB) in the same or anotherpower distribution line
• Malfunction of a ground-relay installed in
the same or another power distributionline• Noise produced at the output of an electronic device in another power distribution
line• Activation of an external thermal relay
installed between the inverter and the motor, at a current below the rated current.

Note) In the case of this inverter, the PWM carrier frequency can be decreased to 2.0kHz.
Decrease the carrier frequency results in an increasein electromagnetic noise from the motor.

This inverter uses high-speed switching
semiconductors for PWM control.
When a relatively long cable is used for
power supply to an inverter, current may leakfrom the cable or the motor to the groundbecause of its capacitance, adversely affecting peripheral equipment. Installation ofradio noise reduction filter may also increaseleakage current. The intensity of such aleakage current depends on the PWM carrier
frequency setting, the lengths of the input
and output cables, etc., of the inverter. To
prevent current leakage, it is recommended
to take the following measures.

Note1: Secure this space because there are frequency meter and switches.
Note2: The wire length should be 30m or less the inverter and the operation panel.

in not only the system into which theinverter is incorporated but also othersystems. When ELCBs are used, theinverter can operate with high PWM
carrier frequency.
(3) When connecting multiple inverters
to a single ELCB, use an ELCB with ahigh current sensitivity or reduce thenumber of inverters connected to the
ELCB.
2) Measures against malfunction of groundfault relay:(1) Decrease the PWM carrier frequency of
the inverter. Note)(2) Install ground-fault relays with a highfrequency protective function in boththe same and other lines. When ELCBs
are used, the inverter can operate withhigh PWM carrier frequency.
3) Measures against noise produced by otherelectric and electronic systems:(1) Separate the grounding line of the inverter from that of the affected electricand electronic systems.
(2) Decrease the PWM carrier frequency of
the inverter. Note)
4) Measures against malfunction of external
thermal relays:(1) Remove the external thermal relay anduse the electronic thermal function of
the inverter instead.
(Not apply to cases where a single
inverter is used to drive more than one
motor. Refer to the instruction manual
for measures to be taken when thermal
relays cannot be removed.)(2) Decrease the PWM carrier frequency of
the inverter. Note)
5) Measures by means of wiring and grounding(1) Separate the inverter's grounding wirefrom that of other systems or install thegrounding wire of each system separately to the grounding point.
(2) Use the shortest possible cables (100mor less) to connect the inverter to themotor. If the wire length is long, especially with the models of 4.0kW or less,perhaps over current trip occurs bycharging current through the capacitance of cable. Use the separate cable
to reduce the capacitance of cable, or
install the reactor or the filter between
the inverter and the motor as countermeasures against over current trip.
(3) If the inverter has a high-attenuation
EMC noise reduction filter, change thegrounding capacitor switch to reduce
the leakage current. Note that doing
so leads to a reduction in the noise attenuating effect.

Ground fault[Measures against effects of leakage
current]
The measures against the effects of leakage
current are as follows:
1) Measures to prevent the malfunction ofleakage circuit breakers (ELCB)(1) Decrease the PWM carrier frequency of
the inverter. Note)(2) Use radio-frequency interference-proof
ELCBs as ground-fault interrupters

Before beginning operation, thoroughly
check the wiring between the motor and theinverter for incorrect wiring or short circuits.
Do not ground the neutral point of any starconnected motor.

Radio interference[Noise produced by inverters]
Since this inverter performs PWM control,
it produces noise and sometimes affects
nearby instrumental devices, electrical andelectronic systems, etc. The effects of noise
greatly vary with the noise resistance of eachindividual device, its wiring condition, thedistance between it and the inverter, etc.

[Measures against noises]
According to the route through which noise
is transmitted, the noises produced by an inverter are classified into transmission noise,
induction noise and radiation noise.

[Examples of protective measures]• Separate the power line from other lines,
such as weak-current lines and signallines, and install them apart from eachother.
• Install a noise reduction filter in each
inverter. It is effective for noise prevention
to install noise reduction filters in otherdevices and systems, as well.
• Shield cables and wires with grounded
metallic conduits, and cover electronicsystems with grounded metallic cases.
• Separate the power distribution line of theinverter from that of other devices andsystems.
• Install the input and output cables of theinverter apart from each other.
• Use shielded twisted pair wires for wiringof the weak-current and signal circuits,
and always ground one of each pair ofwires.
• Ground the inverter with grounding wires
as large and short as possible, separatelyfrom other devices and systems.
On 1ph-240V and 3ph-500V models, noise
can be greatly reduced as they have a builtin EMC noise reduction filter on their input
side.

Power factor improvement capacitors
Do not install power factor improvement
capacitors on the output side of the inverter.
Installing a power factor improvement
capacitor on the output side causes current
containing harmonic components to flow
into the capacitor, adversely affecting thecapacitor itself or causing the inverter to trip.
To improve the power factor, install a DC
reactor or an input AC reactor on the primaryside of the inverter.

Installation of input AC rectors
These devices are used to improve the input
power factor and suppress high harmonic
currents and surges. Install an input ACreactor when using this inverter under thefollowing conditions:(1) When the power source capacity is
500kVA or more, and when it is 10 times
or more greater than the inverter capacity.

20(2) When the inverter is connected the same
power distribution system as a thyristorcommitted control equipment.
(3) When the inverter is connected to thesame power distribution system as thatof distorted wave-producing systems,
such as arc furnaces and large-capacity
inverters.

2. Selecting the Capacity (model)of the Inverter
Selection[Capacity]
Refer to the applicable motor capacities
listed in the standard specifications.
When driving a high-pole motor, special motor, or multiple motors in parallel, select suchan inverter that the sum of the motor rated
current multiplied by 1.05 to 1.1 is less than
the inverter's rated output current value.

[Acceleration/deceleration times]
The actual acceleration and deceleration
times of a motor driven by an inverter are
determined by the torque and moment ofinertia of the load, and can be calculated by
the following equations.
The acceleration and deceleration times ofan inverter can be set individually. In any
case, however, they should be set longer
than their respective values determined by
the following equations.
Acceleration ta= (JM+JL) x ΔN (sec.)time
9.56 x (TM-TL)
Deceleration ta= (JM+JL) x ΔN (sec.)time
9.56 x (TB+TL)
JM :Moment of inertia of motor (kg·m2)
JL :Moment of inertia of load (kg·m2)(converted into value on motor shaft)
ΔN :Difference in rotating speed between
before and after acc. or dec. (min-1)
TL :Load torque (N·m)
TM :Motor rated torque x
1.2~1.3 (N·m) ...V/f control:Motor rated torque x
Conditions
1.5 (N·m) ...Vector operation control
In case of variable torque characteristic
TM :Motor rated torque x
1.1 (N·m) ...V/f control:Motor rated torque x
1.2 (N·m) ...Vector operation control
TB :Motor rated torque x 0.2 (N·m)
When a braking resistor or a braking resistor
unit is used: Motor rated torque x 0.8-1.0 (N·m)

(

(

)
)

[Allowable torque characteristics]
When a standard motor is combined with aninverter to perform variable speed operation,
the motor temperature rises slightly higher
than it normally does during commercial
power supply operation. This is because theinverter output voltage has a sinusoidal (approximate) PWM waveform. In addition, thecooling becomes less effective at low speed,so the torque must be reduced according
to the frequency. Regarding the allowable
torque characteristic, please confirm with the
motor manufacturer.
When constant-torque operation must be
performed at low speeds, use a Toshiba
constant-torque motor designed specificallyfor use with inverters.

[Starting characteristics]
When a motor is driven by an inverter, its operation is restricted by the inverter’s overload
current rating, so the starting characteristic
is different from those obtained from commercial power supply operation.
Although the starting torque is smaller withan inverter than with the commercial power
supply, a high starting torque can be produced at low speeds by adjusting the V/fpattern torque boost amount or by employ-21

ing vector control. When a larger starting
torque is necessary, select an inverter with alarger capacity and examine the possibilityof increasing the motor capacity.

3. When installing, wiring andoperating the inverter
Installing and wiring[Installing precautions](1) Do not install in any location of hightemperature, high humidity, moisturecondensation and freezing. Do not install
the inverter where there are gases that
corrode metal or solvents that adversely
affect plastic.
Avoid locations where there is exposure
to water and/or where there may be large
amounts of dust and metallic fragments.
In this case, please install inverters in theenclosure type cabinet. The cabinet must
be considered its size and the coolingmethod to allow the specifications of anambient temperature for inverters.
(2) Must be installed in non-inflammables
such as metals. The rear panel gets very
hot. If installation is in an inflammableobject, this can result in fire.
(3) Inverters should be arranged in horizontal
rows.

[Wiring precautions]
Installing a molded-case circuit breaker [MCCB](1) Install a molded-case circuit breaker(MCCB) on the inverter's power supply
input to protect the wiring.
(2) Avoid turning the molded-case circuit
breaker on and off frequently to turn on/
off the motor. To turn on/off the motor frequently, close/break the control terminals
F (or R)-CC.
Installing a magnetic contactor [MC] [primaryside](1) To prevent an automatic restart after the
power interruption or overload relay has
tripped, or actuation of the protective
circuit, install an electro-magnetic contact
in the power supply.
(2) The inverter is provided with a failure
detection relay (FL), so that, if its contacts
are connected to the operation circuit of
the magnetic contactor on the primaryside, the magnetic contactor will be
opened when the protective circuit of theinverter is activated.
(3) The inverter can be used without amagnetic contactor. In this case, use an
MCCB (equipped with a voltage tripping
device) for opening the primary circuit
when the inverter protective circuit is activated.
(4) Avoid turning the magnetic contactor on
and off frequently to turn on/off the motor.
To turn on/off the motor frequently, close/
break the control terminals F (or R)-CC.
(5) Install surge suppressor on any magnetic
contactor and relay coils used around theinverter.
(6) If using a braking resistor, install a magnetic contactor (MC) to the power supplyof the inverter, so that the power circuit
opens when the internal overload relay ofthe braking resistor is activated.
Installing a magnetic contactor [MC] [secondaryside](1) As a rule, if a magnetic contactor isinstalled between the inverter and the
motor, do not turn on/off while running.
(If the secondary-side contactor is turned
on/off while running, a large current may

flow in the inverter, causing inverter damage and failure.)(2) A magnetic contactor may be installed tochange the motor or change to the commercial power source when the inverter is
stopped. Always use an interlock with themagnetic contactor in this situation sothat the commercial power supply is notapplied to the inverter's output terminals.
External signal(1) Use a relay rated for low currents. Mounta surge suppressor on the excitation coilof the relay.
(2) When wiring the control circuit, useshielded wires or twisted pair cables.
(3) Because all of the control terminals
except FLA, FLB, FLC, RY or RC areconnected to electronic circuits, insulatethese terminals to prevent them fromcoming into contact with the main circuit.
Installing an overload relay(1) This inverter has an electronic-thermal
overload protective function.
However, in the following cases, thethermal relay operation level must be adjusted or an overload relay matching the
motor's characteristics must be installed
between the inverter and the motor.
(a) When using a motor having a rated
current value different from that of theequivalent.
(b) When driving several motors simultaneously.
(2) When using the inverter to control theoperation of a constant-torque motor,
change the protective characteristic of
the electronic thermal relay according to
the setting of the constant-torque motor.
(3) In order to adequately protect a motor
used for low-speed operation, we recommend the use of a motor equipped with
an embedded thermal relay.
Wiring(1) Do not connect input power to the output(motor side) terminals (U/T1,V/T2,W/T3).
That will destroy the inverter and may result in fire. Please pay attentions of wiring
before power supply turns-on.
(2) The DC terminals (PA/+, PO and PB) arefor specified options. Do not connect
other devices to these terminals.
(3) Within 15 minutes after turning off input
power, do not touch wires of devices(MCCB) connected to the input side of
the inverter.
Grounding
The inverters and motors must be connected
to ground securely. In case of grounding forinverters, please use the grounding terminalof the inverter.

Operating precautions(1) When the inverter operates in abnormal
circumstances, the protective function
activates to shut off the inverter output.
However, the inverters can not stop the
motors quickly. Please install the mechanical brake or maintenance function in
the mechanical equipment and the device
for which the emergency stop is necessary.
(2) When you drive the machine and the device that hangs the load repeatedly with
the inverter, the semiconductor withininverter might cause thermal fatigue andit come to have a short life if a big current flows repeatedly when driving andstopping. In this case, it is possible toextend life span by controlling the start-

ing current and the load current low or
setting the PWM career frequency low. If
you can not decrease the starting current,
please select larger capacity of inverters
for current margins.

4. When changing the motor
speed
Application to standard motors
Vibration
When a motor is operated with an inverter, it
experiences more vibrations than when it isoperated by the commercial power supply.
The vibration can be reduced to a negligible
level by securing the motor and machine tothe base firmly.
If the base is weak, however, the vibration
may increase at a light load due to resonance with the mechanical system. In thiscase, using jump frequency to avoid resonant frequencies or changing PWM carrier
frequency is also effective.

Acoustic noise
The magnetic noise of motors with inverter
drives is changed by PWM carrier frequency.
In case of high PWM carrier frequency settings, its acoustic noise is almost same ascommercial power supply drives. Moreover,when the motors are operated over rated
rotation, the windy noise of the motors isincreased.

Reduction gear, belt, chain
Note that the lubrication capability of a reducer or a converter used as the interface ofthe motor and the load machine may affectat low speeds.
When operating at frequencies exceeding
60 Hz or higher, power transmission mechanisms such as reduction gear, belts andchains, may cause problems such as production of noise, a reduction in strength, orshortening of service life.

Underwater motors
Note that underwater motors have higher
rated current than general motors.
The current ratings of underwater motors
are relatively high. So, when selecting an
inverter, you must pay special attention to its
current rating so that the current rating of the
motor is below that of the inverter.
When the lengths of the motor cable arelong, please use thicker cable than a tableof “Wiring devices” because the maximum
torque is decreased by the voltage dropping.
Moreover, please pay attention to selectleakage circuit breakers.

Single-phase motor
Because single-phase motors are equippedwith a centrifugal switch and capacitors forstarting, they cannot be driven by an inverter.
When single phase motors are driven by
inverters, a centrifugal switch and capacitors
may be broken. In case of a single-phase,
power system, a 3-phase motor can be
driven by using a single-phase input inverterto convert it into a 3-phase 200V output. (Aspecial inverter and a 3-phase 200V motor
are required.)Brake motor
When using a brake motor, if the braking
circuit is directly connected to the inverter's
output terminals, the brake cannot be released because of the lowered starting voltage. Therefore, when using a brake motor,
connect the braking circuit to the inverter's
power supply side, as shown on the below.
Usually, brake motors produce larger noise
in low speed ranges.

5. Disposal of the inverter

Before setting the maximum frequency toover 60 Hz, confirm that this operating range
is acceptable for the motor.

For safety’s sake, do not dispose of the disused inverter yourself but ask an industrial
waste disposal agent.
Disposing of the inverter improperly could
cause its capacitor to explode and emit toxic
gas, causing injury to persons.

Starting method
When you drive the motor with changeable
connection between star-connection anddelta-connection for decreasing starting current, please connect delta-connection only. If
you change motor connection while inverter
drives, the protective function of inverter
activates.

Application to special motors
Geared motor
When using an inverter to drive a geared motor, inquire of the motor manufacturer about
its continuous operation range due to thefollowings:- The low-speed operation of a geared motor may cause insufficient lubrication- The loss of a gear may be increased thancommercial power supply drives.
- In case of the operation on high frequency
exceeding 60Hz, the acoustic noise andmotor temperature may be higher.

Pole-changing motor
Pole-changing motors can be driven by thisinverter. Before changing poles, however,be sure to let the motor come to a complete
stop. If you change motor connection while
inverter drives, the protective function of
inverter may activate.
