with the NEC or Canadian Electrical Code. The
connection shall be made by a UL listed or CSA
certified closed-loop terminal connector sized for
the wire gauge involved. The connector is to be
fixed using the crimp tool specified by the
connector manufacturer.
Do not perform a megger test
between the Drive terminals or on the control
circuit terminals.
The Drives are an IGBT drive
which develops an adjustable frequency via pulse
width modulation. While this does not present a
problem on 200-240 VAC applications, it may on
380-480 VAC applications. When using the
Drives on 380-480 VAC, get the motor
manufacturer's approval that his insulation system
can withstand the voltage spikes (up to twice the
dc bus voltage 2 x 621 VDC for a 480 VAC power
source of the Drive, in conjunction with the long
motor cable lengths). If the insulation system
does not meet this limit, utilize a RLC filter.
Because the ambient
temperature greatly affects Drive life and
reliability, do not install the Drive in any location
that exceeds the allowable temperature. Leave
the ventilation covers attached for temperatures
of 40 degrees C or below, and remove the
ventilation port side and top covers for
temperatures of between 40 (104° F) and 50
(122° F) degrees C. If the covers need to be
removed, another type of enclosure may be
required for safety purposes.
If the Drive’s Fault Alarm is
activated, consult the TROUBLESHOOTING
section of this instruction book, and after
correcting the problem, resume operation. Do
not reset the alarm automatically by external
sequence, etc.
Be sure to remove the desic-
cant packet(s) when unpacking the Drive. (If not
removed these packets may become lodged in
the fan or air passages and cause the Drive to
overheat.)
CAUTIONS
This product is suitable for use
on a circuit capable of delivering not more than
1,000 (1HP or less) or 5,000 (2 HP or more) rms
symmetrical amperes.
AC input fuses to be customer supplied and may
be branch circuit protection fused. The maximum
allowance fuse ratings per TABLE 4.
Do not connect power supply
voltage that exceeds the standard specified
voltage permissible. If excessive voltage is
applied to the Drive, damage to the internal
components will result.
Do not connect power supply to
the output terminals (U, V, W). Connect power
supply only to the power terminals (L1, L2, L3).
Do not connect power supply to
the breaking resistor connection terminals (P (+),
DB). Never short-circuit between P (+) – DB
terminals, and do not connect any resistance with
an ohm and/or wattage value less than standard
application breaking resistor.
Do not connect a power supply
to the control circuit terminals (except 30A, B, C,
maximum rating 250 volts, 0.3A ac/dc).
For RUN and STOP, use the
FWD-CM (forward) and REV-CM (reverse)
terminals. Do not use a contactor (ON/OFF)
installed on the line side of the Drive for RUN and
STOP.
Do not use a switch on the
output side of the Drive for ON/OFF operation.
Do not connect power factor
correcting capacitors on the output side of the
Drive.
Do not operate the Drive
without the ground wire connected. The motor
chassis should be grounded to earth through a
ground lead separate from all other equipment
ground leads to prevent noise coupling. The
grounding connector shall be sized in accordance
1-4
UL/CSA Drive Caution Label
Use 60/70°C copper wire only. Use Class 1 wire only.
Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 1,000
(1HP or less) or 5,000 (2 HP or more) rms symmetrical amperes.

CAUTIONS (continued)
NOTE:
① When terminal operation mode (Function code
F_02 setting is 1) - RUN and STOP are being
controlled byamaintainedcontact(e.g.,selector
switch, toggle switch, etc.) which is connected
between the terminal CM and FWD or REV:
•Closing/openingthemaintainedcontactstarts/
stops the Drive.
➁ Function code F_02 setting can be changed only
when connection between the terminals CM and
FWD or REV is open. (i.e. STOP MODE).
Drive ships with shorting bar between
terminals FWD-CM.
NOTES
AC induction motors require
that they be sized based on the applications speed
range and associated torque requirements for the
motor-Drive system; this is to avoid excessive
motor heating. Observe motor manufacturer's
recommendations when operating any ac induction
motor with the Drive. Also observe motor
manufacturer's recommended voltage/torque boost
at lower operating frequencies.
The available power source con-
nected to the Drive is not to exceed 500KVA. If the
ac power source is greater than 500KVA and the
Drive's rated (HP) is less than 10% of the power
source'sKVA;aclinereactorswillhavetobeinstalled
in L1, L2 & L3 power leads of the Drive.
The Drive must be mounted on
a building or enclosure wall that is constructed of
heat resistant material. While the Drive is operat-
ing, the temperature of the Drive's cooling fins can
rise to a temperature of 90°C (194°F.)
If the Drive protective function
is activated, consult Section 8 "Troubleshooting",
and after correcting the problem, resume opera-
tion. Do not reset the alarm automatically by
external sequence, etc.
Be sure to provide fuses, as
specifiedon"ApplicationofWiringAndEquipment"
in Section 4, on line terminals of Drive. Provide
power line disconnect or contactor as needed.
➂ Total wiring between the Drive and the motor must
not exceed the length shown below.
