VFD Output Power
•
Motor wires from each VFD to its respective motor MUST be routed in a
separate steel
conduit away
from control wiring and incoming AC power wiring. This is to avoid noise and crosstalk between drives.
An insulated ground must be run from each VFD to its respective motor. Do not run different fan output
power cables in the same conduit.
•
VFD mounted in fan: The load reactor should be sized accordingly when the VFD is mounted in the
fan.
208/230V
- Load reactor is optional but recommended for 15 HP and above motors.
460/480V
- Load reactor is optional but recommended for 7.5 HP and above motors.
575/600V
- Load reactors are required for all HP motors.
•
Do not install a contactor between the drive and the motor. Operating such a device while the drive is
running can potentially cause damage to the power components of the drive.
•
When a disconnect switch is installed between the drive and motor, the disconnect should only be
operated when the drive is in a STOP state.
VFD Programming
Programming
1. The Drive should be programmed for the proper motor voltage. P107 is set to 0 (Low) if motor voltage
is 120V AC, 208V AC or 400V AC. P107 is set to 1 (High) if the motor voltage is 230V AC, 480V AC, or
575V AC.
2. The Drive should be programmed for the proper motor overload value. P108 is calculated as Motor
FLA x 100 / Drive Output Rating (available in
).
To enter the PROGRAM mode to access the parameters:
1. Use the buttons on the VFD screen (
) to adjust VFD settings. Press the Mode (M) button.
This will activate the password prompt (PASS).
2. Use the Up and Down buttons to scroll to the password value (the factory default password is “0225”)
and press the Mode (M) button. Once the correct password is entered, the display will read “P100”,
which indicates that the PROGRAM mode has been accessed at the beginning of the parameter
menu.
3. Use the Up and Down buttons to scroll to the desired parameter number.
4. Once the desired parameter is found, press the Mode (M) button to display the present parameter
setting. The parameter value will begin blinking, indicating that the present parameter setting is being
displayed. The value of the parameter can be changed by using the Up and Down buttons.
5. Pressing the Mode (M) button will store the new setting and exit the PROGRAM mode. To change
another parameter, press the Mode (M) button again to re-enter the PROGRAM mode. If the Mode
button is pressed within 1 minute of exiting the PROGRAM mode, the password is not required to
access the parameters. After one minute, the password must be re-entered to access the parameters
again.
P500 parameter provides a history of the last 8 faults on the drive. It can be accessed without entering
PROGRAM mode.
