VG5 Installation & Quick-Start Manual 7
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The VG5, a series of high quality, general-purpose inverters with flux vector control, directly
controls the current (or torque) in an AC induction motor. With an initial power range of 0.5 to 500
HP, it is suited for any application, and provides smooth start-up at low speeds, and extremely precise
operation. It’s proprietary auto-tuning function enables high-performance tuning of motors manufac-
tured worldwide.
The VG5 combines four control methods into one compact drive, including flux vector and con-
ventional V/f control. From precision machinery to multiple motor drives, the VG5 proves to be
the
Ultimate
drive for any application. This functionality includes proprietary features like
Adaptive Vector Control (AVC™), full-range automatic torque boost, auto-tuning, UL-recognized
electronic thermal motor overload, energy savings operation, PID control, low-noise operation and
various other features. It also features a 2-line × 16-character, alphanumeric digital operator for simple
programming in seven different languages. Utilizing the latest microprocessor technology, members of
the design team have collaborated to make the VG5 the
Ultimate
drive for
any
application.
This manual details installation, quick-start and diagnostic procedures for the VG5 series adjust-
able frequency drive controller. For more detailed descriptions of programming procedures, contact
