Safety Precautions .
This inverter is for driving a 3-phase motor, and must not be used for other applications.
[I) Always observe the following items to prevent electrical shock.
1. Do not touch charged parts such as the terminal block while the CHARGE lamp is lit. A charge will still
be present in the electrolytic capacitors, and therafore, touching these areas may result in an electrical
shock. Always turn inverter's input power off before wiring the motor terminals. Wait at least five
minutes after the "CHARGE" lamp has gone out, and then confirm that the capacitors have fully
discharged by using a tester, etc., that can measure high-voltage DC.
2. Do not touch or insert a rod or any other item into the
inverter while power is applied (there are high voltage areas
on the PCB), as this may lead to electrical shock or inverter
damage.
(When operating with the cover removed, charged areas will
be exposed, so always install the unit inside a panel so that
it cannot be easily touched.)
Never attempt to modify the inverter unit.
3. Ground the unit's G/E terminal and the motor. (Electric
shock may occur due to leakage currents.)
[ Il JRetry function
Control section
(When cover is removed)
1. This inverter has a "retry function" that automatically resets the unit when a fault trip occurs. Observe
the following points when this function is selected.
Even if the inverter has fault tripped, take care to not get caught in the motor or equipment. When the
"retry function" is selected, the inverter will automatically start after the designated time. (Refer to page
83.)
Take special care when an overload trip occurs, as the "retry function" may activate after a delay of up
to 5min.
[fil) Observe the following points to prevent fire.
1. Confirm the inverter's rating nameplate, and connect a 3-phase input power source within the rated
range to the R/L
1, S/L2, and T/L3 power source terminals.
If an incorrectly-rated power source is connected to the inverter, such as when a 400V power source is
connected to a 200V inverter, the inverter's internal components may explode.
2. No fuse is contained in the inverter, so install a suitable non-fuse breaker {MCCB) on the inverter's
input power source.
(Refer to Table
5-1 on page 14 for Examples of selecting equipment for wiring.)

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Toshiba High-Performance Inverter "TOSVERT VF-AS".
The "VF-AS" inverter has many various functions built in for use with a 3-phase induction motor. All
Operations of this unit are done via the easy-to-use keyboard-type operation panel. A blind function
(Refer to page
SS) that displays only those functions required for operation, and an edit function (Refer to
page 34) that automatically collects parameters that differ from their default settings are used to make
basic operation and setting easier. Advanced control technology features (sensorless vector control,
feedback control, current limit, retry, and stall prevention functions) are built in, so that the inverter will not
trip easily, and will provide unparalleled reliabilty.
Please read this manual thoroughly before use to properly understand the correct use of the outstanding
functions of the "VF-AS".
This manual should be stored by the user of the "VF-AS" for reference during maintenance and inspection.
Symbols used in this manual are as shown below. Understand them before reading this manual.

2. Installation Precautions
This inverter is an electronic control unit. Take special care concerning the installation environment.
• Confirm that the input power is within +10% of the rated value.If the input power voltage range
tolerances are exceeded during use, the protective circuits may function or the inverter may
be
damaged.
·Avoid installation in hot and humid locations,
where condensation or freezing may occur.or
where water,dust,or metal chips may come into
contact with the inverter.
• Do not install the unit
in locations that
experience large
vibrations.
• Install in a location
free of corrosive gases
or cutting fluids, etc.
• Use the unit within an ambient temperature of
-10 to 40 ·c .
~1FlQ
g~·
o~
c:::i -1o ·c
~/// /~
u. t!iJ.I «
Because the inverter radiates
heat, when installing
in a
panel take special care
concerning ventilation and
panel space. Removal of
the cover is recommended
when using
in a panel to
ensure maximum longevity
and reliability.
• The inverter may malfunction if the
following types of devices are
installed nearby, so use proper
precautions.
·Solenoids
• Brakes -----1
• Electromagnetic
contactors
• Fluorescent lights
Install a surge killer
on the exciting coil.
• Resistors
--- Keep away from the inverter
• Ground the G/E
terminal to prevent
electrical shock and
malfunction due to
noise.
Attach the unit to a non-combustible material such as a metal panel. To
ensure adequate ventilation, maintain the following installation spaces, and
always install the unit vertically
in the longitudinal direction. When installing
multiple inverters in a row, leave a clearance of
at least 1
Ocm between each unit. This clearance
can be reduced depending on the environment
or by adding fans.
~
l:;p (For 37kW and larger units, leave a clearance of
at least 20cm above and below the inverter to
allow for fan replacement and wire bending
space.)
Contact the Engineering Department for further
details.
Inverter life depends greatly on the ambient temperature. Make sure
that the ambient temperature of the installation location dose not exceed the
maximum ambient temperature rating(40°C).
5cm
Measure the temperature at the positions shown in the diagram on the right,
and confirm that it is less than the maximum ambient temperature rating
(40 °C). (S0 °C or less when the cover is removed.)
22kW and larger units can be used up to an ambient temperature
of so ·c.
(Do not remove the cover from 22kW and larger units.)
*Always install the inverter in the longitudinal direction on a vertical surface.
