1.1.3 Other Cautions
Input Power Supply
This series of inverters are not applicable to applications out the range of operating voltage as
set forth in thismanual. If necessary, please use booster to rise or drop the voltage to regulated
voltage range.
This series of inverters only apply to AC three-phase 380V input voltage.AC two-phase voltage
input will cause faults even damage to the inverters.
Surge Protection
This series of inverters are furnished with surge suppressor that has certain resistance to
lightning induction. However, users in areas with frequent occurrence of lightning need to
mount an external surge suppressor in front of the inverter power input side.
Operation of Contactor
As to the configuration of peripheral devices recommended by this manual, it is necessary to
mount a contactor between the power supply and this drive input side. Such a contactor should
not be used as a control device for start and stop of the inverter, as frequent charging &
discharging shall reduce the service life of internal electrolytic capacitors.
When it is necessary to mount a contactor between the drive output and the motor, it
should be ensured the drive is in a non-output status before switch-on/switch-off of such a
contactor. Failure to comply may result in inverter damage.
Output Filter
Since the inverter output is PWM highfrequency chopping voltage, mounting filter devices such
as an output filter and an outputAC reactor between the motor and the inverter shall effectively
reduce output noise, avoiding interference to other surrounding equipments.
If the length of cable between the inverter and the motor exceeds 100m, an output AC reactor
is recommended to use with the purpose of preventing drive fault as a result of overcurrent
caused by excessive distributed capacitance. An output filter is optional depending on field
requirements.
Be sure not to mount phase-shifting capacitor or surge absorber at output side of the inverter
since this may result in inverter damage as a result of over-temperature.
Insulation of the Motor
In view of the fact that the inverter output is PWM high frequency chopping voltage
accompanied by higher harmonics, the noise, temperature rise and vibration of the motor is
higher compared with sinusoidal voltage. Particularly this debases motor insulation. Therefore,
the motor should be subjected to insulation inspection before initial use or reuse after being
stored for a long period of time. The motor in regular service should also be subjected to
regular insulation inspection so as to avoid the inverter damage as a result of motor insulation
