Examples
These examples use a VFD66 control rated for
400/460 VAC at 50/60 Hz. The control is used in North
America, so the maximum supply voltage is 460 VAC
at 60 Hz.
If the supply voltage is 460 VAC (100% of 460 VAC),
the VFD66 control runs the motor at full speed
(460 VAC at 60 Hz).
If the supply voltage drops to 368 VAC
(80% of 460 VAC), the VFD66 control can only provide
368 VAC and the control reduces the output frequency
to 53 Hz.
If the supply voltage drops to 276 VAC
(60% of 460 VAC), the VFD66 control can only provide
276 VAC and the control reduces the output frequency
to 40 Hz.
If the supply voltage drops below 276 VAC
(60% of 460 VAC), then the VFD66 control stops the
motor and does not restart it until the supply voltage
rises to at least 276 VAC.
Unexpected Operation
If the VFD66 control operates in an unexpected
manner, check the jumper position on jumper blocks
J7 and J8. See Figure 3, Table 10, and Table 11 for
possible operation scenarios when the jumper position
is not correct for the input device connected to the
VFD66.

Jumper Block J7
If the
control is
set for___.
And if the
control
receives___.
The result is___
0-10 VDC
(J7 jumper
installed)
0-5 VDC
the VFD66 control only
drives the motor at half
of the full motor speed.
0-5 VDC
(J7 jumper
removed)
0-10 VDC
the VFD66 control only
uses 0-5 VDC and the
motor reaches full
speed when the input
signal is at 5 VDC.

the VFD66 control runs

only.
Shutdown
The ALARM LED indicates fault conditions and
provides diagnostic information. Constant illumination
of this LED indicates that the motor is overloaded and
the VFD66 control shuts down the motor. When the
ALARM LED flashes, the VFD66 control has shut
down the motor. The number of times the ALARM LED
flashes indicates the cause of the fault. See Table 12.

VFD66 Series Condenser Fan Speed Controls Product/Technical Bulletin
If the supply voltage drops to 276 VAC
(60% of 460 VAC), the VFD66 control can only provide
276 VAC and the control reduces the output frequency
to 40 Hz.
