energized drive. Before servicing, disconnect all power to the equipment and wait for the time specified on
the warning label at a minimum. The internal capacitor stays charged after the drive is de-energized. The
charge indicator LED extinguishes when the DC bus voltage decreases below 50 Vdc. When all indicators
are OFF, measure for dangerous voltages to make sure that the drive is safe. If you do work on the drive
when it is energized, it will cause serious injury or death from electrical shock.
WARNING Crush Hazard. Test the system to make sure that the drive operates safely after
you wire the drive and set parameters. If you do not test the system, it can cause damage to equipment or
serious injury or death.
WARNING Sudden Movement Hazard. Before you do a test run, make sure that the setting
values for virtual input and output function parameters are correct. Virtual input and output functions can
have different default settings and operation than wired input and output functions. Incorrect function
settings can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING Sudden Movement Hazard. Remove all personnel and objects from the area
around the drive, motor, and machine and attach covers, couplings, shaft keys, and machine loads before
you energize the drive. If personnel are too close or if there are missing parts, it can cause serious injury
or death.
WARNING Sudden Movement Hazard. Examine the I/O signals and internal sequence with
the engineer who made the DriveWorksEZ program before you operate the drive. If you do not know how
the drive will operate, it can cause serious injury or death. When you use DriveWorksEZ to make custom
programming, the drive I/O terminal functions change from factory settings and the drive will not operate
as written in this manual.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not modify the drive body or drive circuitry.
Modifications to drive body and circuitry can cause serious injury or death, will cause damage to the drive,
and will void the warranty. Yaskawa is not responsible for modifications of the product made by the user.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Only let approved personnel install, wire, maintain,
examine, replace parts, and repair the drive. If personnel are not approved, it can cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not remove covers or touch circuit boards while the
drive is energized. If you touch the internal components of an energized drive, it can cause serious injury
or death.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. After the drive blows a fuse or trips a GFCI, do not
immediately energize the drive or operate peripheral devices. Wait for the time specified on the warning
label at a minimum and make sure that all indicators are OFF. Then check the wiring and peripheral device
ratings to find the cause of the problem. If you do not know the cause of the problem, contact Yaskawa
before you energize the drive or peripheral devices. If you do not fix the problem before you operate the
drive or peripheral devices, it can cause serious injury or death.

2 Safety
10 YASKAWA TOEPC7106170YB YASKAWA AC Drive GA500 Installation & Primary Operation
WARNING Damage to Equipment. Do not apply incorrect voltage to the main circuit of the
drive. Operate the drive in the specified range of the input voltage on the drive nameplate. Voltages that
are higher than the permitted nameplate tolerance can cause damage to the drive.
NOTICE Fire Hazard. Install sufficient branch circuit short circuit protection as specified by
applicable codes and this manual. The drive is suitable for circuits that supply not more than 31,000 RMS
symmetrical amperes, 240 Vac maximum (200 V Class), 480 Vac maximum (400 V Class). Incorrect
branch circuit short circuit protection can cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION Crush Hazard. Tighten terminal cover screws and hold the case safely when you
move the drive. If the drive or covers fall, it can cause moderate injury.
NOTICE Use an inverter-duty motor or vector-duty motor with reinforced insulation and
windings applicable for use with an AC drive. If the motor does not have the correct insulation, it can
cause a short circuit or ground fault from insulation deterioration.
NOTICE Damage to Equipment. When you touch the drive and circuit boards, make sure
that you observe correct electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures. If you do not follow procedures, it can
cause ESD damage to the drive circuitry.
NOTICE Damage to Equipment. Do not do a withstand voltage test or use a megohmmeter
or megger insulation tester on the drive. These tests can cause damage to the drive.
NOTICE Do not operate a drive or connected equipment that has damaged or missing parts.
You can cause damage to the drive and connected equipment.
NOTICE Damage to Equipment. Do not use steam or other disinfectants to fumigate wood
for packaging the drive. Use alternative methods, for example heat treatment, before you package the
components. Gas from wood packaging fumigated with halogen disinfectants, for example fluorine,
chlorine, bromine, iodine or DOP gas (phthalic acid ester), can cause damage to the drive.
Note:
•Do not use unshielded wire for control wiring. Use shielded, twisted-pair wires and ground the shield to the
ground terminal of the drive. Unshielded wire can cause electrical interference and unsatisfactory system
performance.
•Do not put devices that radiate strong electromagnetic waves, for example radio transmitters, near the drive. If
you use these devices near the drive, the drive can operate incorrectly.
◆Warranty Information

devices. If you do not correctly install safety devices, it can cause serious injury or death.

3 Overview
YASKAWA TOEPC7106170YB YASKAWA AC Drive GA500 Installation & Primary Operation 11
3 Overview
Finless-type drives do not have cooling fins, which are the main heat-generating
component of the drive. The finless-type drive uses the enclosure panel (metal plate) as a
cooling fin to release the heat generated by the drive. This will let you install the drive in
a smaller enclosure panel.
Finless-type drives are recognized components by UL (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.).
Machines and devices integrated with this product must satisfy Conditions of
Acceptability on page 195 conditions for compliance with UL standards.

Note:
•To get the OLV specifications, do Rotational Auto-Tuning.
