１．Compliance with CE Marking
1.1. Abstract
In Europe, EMC directive is enforced starting 1st Jan. of 1996, and Low Voltage Directive
starting 1st Jan. of 1997. The display of CE mark that demonstrates that products imported to
European Union conform to these directives is required. Inverter itself cannot function alone, but
is de-signed as a component in order to control machines or equipment which includes that
inverter installed in a cubicle. Therefore the conformance to EMC directive is not required on
inverter it-self. But since the object of the Low Voltage directive is equipment that is designed to
be used with rated voltage of 50 to 1,000 VAC or 75 to 1,500 VDC, CE should be marked on
inverter as to the Low Voltage directive.
But CE has to be marked on the final product installing inverters, that conforms to the EMC
directive and the Low Voltage directive. And the product also may conform to Machine directive.
The user that makes the final products have to take the responsibility for Marking of CE. For that
reason, we recommend installation for Low Voltage directive and measurement for EMC
directive, so that the products including our inverter should conform to the EMC and Low
Voltage directive.
We carried out Approval testing and confirmation testing on representative models under the
circumstances based on installation and measurement so that our products should conform to
each directive. But we cannot confirm the conformance of the user’s products to the EMC
directive. Since EMC environment changes according to the construction of the cubicle and the
relation of other installed electric equipment and the condition of wiring and installation, please
confirm the conformance to the EMC directive for the final products on your side.

1.2. EMC directive
An inverter itself is not an object of CE marking.
A machine which consists of an inverter and a motor is an object of CE marking.
The EMC directive includes the emission section and the immunity section. VF-P7 can conform
to EMC directive by means of installing the recommended EMI noise filter to the input side, and
wiring properly.
→Emission: Emission of electromagnetic wave and electromagnetic interference
→Immunity: Resistance to electromagnetic interference

(2) The main cables such as input to the EMI filter and output of the inverter and the signal
cables should be shielded, then cable length should be wired as short as possible. The main
input cable should be separated from the main output cable, and cables for control signal
also should be separated from main cables, not wiring parallel and not bundling, cross the
wires where necessary.
(3) Install EMI filter and inverter on the same metal back plate in an inverter panel. The metal
back plate or the cubicle must be grounded absolutely, by using short thick wires, separated
from the main cables.
(4) Please separate input cable to EMI filter from output cable as much as possible.
(5) Shielded cables should be grounded on the metal back plate in order to reduce the radiated
noise from the other cables. It is an effective measure that shielded cables are grounded
close to the inverter or/and operation panel or/and EMI filter(less than 10cm).
(6) Installation of the zero-phase and/or the ferrite core can also effectively reduce the radiated
noise further.(Input or/and output of inverter)

1.4. Low voltage directive
Inverter itself is an object of the CE marking.
The Low Voltage Directive defines the safety of the electric equipment. VF-P7 series conform
to the Low Voltage directive based on EN50178.
Normative standard : EN50178/Electronic equipment for use in power installation
Pollution degree :2(5.2.15.2)
Over-voltage category : 3 200V class 3.0 mm (5.2.16.1)
400V class 5.5 mm (5.2.16.1)
EN50178 provides that for electronic equipment used in power installations. The main intention is
to stipulate minimum requirements for the design and manufacture of electronic equipment, for
protection against electric shock, for testing and for the integration into systems for power
installations.

1.5. Compliance with Low voltage directive
Please carry out the below mentioned countermeasures for the Low Voltage Directive in case
of using VF-P7 as components of your products.
(1) Inverter should be installed in a panel. Pay attention to wiring openings, so that it should
prevent someone from touching live parts through the opening in case of maintenance.
2) No more than 1 cable should be connected to one earth terminal of the main terminal board. In
this case, other cables for ground should be grounded on the metal back plate and/or in the
cubicle (Refer to Fig. 4).
Refer the size of grounding cable to Table. 4.
(3) MCCB should be connected to the input side of the EMI filter.

２．Compliance with UL Standard
The VF-P7 models conform to the UL Standard have the UL/CUL mark on the nameplate.
2.1. Compliance with Installation
The VF-P7 Inverter must be installed in a panel, and used within the maximum surrounding air
temperature 50 degrees.
2.2. Compliance with Connection
Use the UL listed cables, 75 degree copper wire only, with the UL listed closed -loop
terminal connector at field wiring connection to the inverter input terminals, R/L1, S/L2,
T/L3, output terminals, U/T1, V/T2, W/T3, and other main terminals.
Refer the wire gauge, the type of closed-loop terminals and crimping tools to Table.4
and Table.5.
2.3. Compliance with Peripheral devices
Use the UL listed MCCB or fuses at connecting to power supply.
(The fuses should be used CLASS CC/J.)
Refer to the instruction manual about selecting the rating of them.
Short circuit test is performed under the condition of the power supply
short-circuit currents in Table. 3.
These currents depend on the applicable motor capacities.

2.4. Compliance with Motor overload protection
The electronic thermal protection level and characteristic must be adjusted to fit the motor
rated current and specification.
Refer the detail of electronic thermal protection to the instruction manual.
Installing external overload relay to each motor between inverter and motors when driving
several motors simultaneously.
