2) Grounding capacitor switch
Three-phase 500V model have a built-in high-attenuation noise filter and is grounded via a capacitor.
A switch screw makes for easy switching to reduce leakage current from the inverter and the load on the
capacitor. However, be careful, as reducing the load means non-conformity with the EMC standard on
the inverter itself. Always do switching with the power off.
Note 1) Figure is VFS15-4022PL1-W1 to 4037PL1-W1.
1.4.4 Installation
Calorific values of the inverter and the required ventilation
About 5% of the rated power of the inverter will be lost as a result of conversion from AC to DC or from DC
to AC. In order to suppress the rise in temperature inside the cabinet when this loss becomes heat loss, the
interior of the cabinet must be ventilated and cooled.
The amount of forcible air-cooling ventilation required and the necessary heat discharge surface quantity
when operating in a sealed cabinet according to motor capacity are as follows.

■ UL standard and CSA standard
The VF-S15 models that conform to the UL Standard and CSA Standard have the UL/CSA mark on the
nameplate.
This additional sheet is correction and additional information of as appendix for section 9.2 in E6581611.
2. Compliance with Installation
A UL certificate was granted on the assumption that the inverter would be installed in an enclosure. Therefore,
install the inverter in an enclosure and if necessary, take measures to maintain the inverter ambient
temperature (temperature in the enclosure) within the specified temperature range.
Current reduction
According to the carrier frequency f300 setting, you may need to reduce the inverter’s continuous
output current.
Reduction rates vary depending on the capacity of the inverter.

3. Compliance with Connection
The opening of the branch circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault current has been
interrupted.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, current-carrying parts and other components of the controller
should be examined and replaced if damaged.
If burnout of the current element of an overload relay occurs, the complete overload relay must be replaced.

Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than___X___rms symmetrical kilo
Amperes,___Y___Volts maximum, when protected by___Z1___with a maximum rating of___Z2___.
(1) Input withstand rating is that for which the product has been designed thermally. Installation on a
supply greater than this level will require additional inductance to satisfy this level.
(2) Output interrupt rating relies on Integral solid state short circuit protection. This does not provide
branch circuit protection. Branch circuit protection must be provided in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and any additional local codes. This is dependant on the type of installation.
In case of using with a higher AIC capability up to 100kA(*1), the Short Circuit Current Ratings (SCCR)
become 100kA(*1) by installing with the circuit breakers(GV•P) or the fuses listed in Table 4.
