Basic Configuration Diagram
The reference diagram below shows a typical system configuration showing the inverter and
peripheral devices.
Prior to installing the inverter, ensure that the product is suitable for the application (power rating,
capacity, etc). Ensure that all of the required peripheral devices (breakers, contactors, etc.) and
optional devices (filters, brake resistors, etc.) are sized correctly. For more details on peripheral
devices, refer to
11.4 Fuse and Reactor Specifications .
•
Figures in this manual are shown with covers or circuit breakers removed to show a more detailed
view of the installation arrangements. Install covers and circuit breakers before operating the
inverter. Operate the product according to the instructions in this manual.
•
Do not start or stop the inverter using a magnetic contactor installed on the input power supply.
•
If the inverter is damaged and loses control, the machine may cause a dangerous situation. Install
an additional safety device such as an emergency brake to prevent these situations.
•
High levels of current draw during power-on can affect the system. Ensure that correctly
rated circuit breakers are installed to operate safely during power-on situations.
•
Reactors can be installed to improve the power factor. Note that reactors may be installed
within 30 ft (9.14 m) from the power source if the input power exceeds 10 times 0f inverter
capacity. Refer to 11.4
Fuse and Reactor Specification and carefully select a reactor that meets
the requirements.
