Connection and Parameter Setting Example of Solar Pump
Assumed that the Maximum open circuit voltage of solar panel is 280V, and the pump minimum speed
is 10Hz.The expected detection time of water shortage is 90 seconds, and the shortage protection of
drive or LE1 will restart after 10 seconds. Flow switch is normally open.

B. Parameter Setting description
(A)Starting Setting
The starting condition is open circuit voltage > the setting value of F_199 in Solar Pump mode.
Maximum open circuit voltage of solar panel in this system is 280V.
Normally, setting value will be 85% of open circuit voltage (280*0.85=238V≒240V).
Note: The Maximum open circuit voltage is determined by specifications of solar panel and wiring of
Series / parallel connection.
(B)The setting condition of drive stops during the operation:
a.Protection of pump minimum speed: Frequency command < F_200 (Stop Frequency) and
DC bus voltage< Voc*(F_197+0.05) and lasts the setting time of F_201
Decrease Frequency Activate Voltage Level
Water Shortage Detection Time
(a) The pump minimum speed is 10Hz, so set the 10.00Hz in F_200 (Stop Frequency).
(b) The function of F_201 (Water shortage Detection Time) setting value is 90 seconds.
When the frequency command of drive is lower than 10 Hz and takes more than 90 seconds, the
frequency command will decrease to 0 automatically.
b. Water shortage: frequency command > F_200 and water flow switch is no flow detected and lasts
the setting time of F_201
Multi-function Input Terminal X1
The function of X1 is the input flow switch (F_052=23), the drive will trip
after no flow
detected and lasts more than 90s.
