Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of the new W7 Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD). The W7 ASD is an
18-pulse PWM drive designed for use with 3-phase AC induction motors. This 18 pulse design includes
an 18 pulse input diode bridge rectifier combined with and an integral phase shifting transformer.
U.S. Patent 6396723.
Japan Patent pending 2000-179543.
The drive has been designed for applications that require low total harmonic distortion (THD) at the
drive input terminals (6% typical) and to allow compliance with IEEE 519 1992 at the point of common
coupling.
The W7 ASD is ideally suited to drive variable torque loads. Toshiba's technology, quality, and
reliability enables the motor to develop high torque and provide compensation for motor slip, which
results in smooth, quick starts and highly efficient operation. The W7 ASD uses digitally-controlled
pulse width modulation. The programmable functions may be accessed via the easy-to-use menu. These
features, combined with Toshiba's high-performance software, delivers unparalleled motor control and
reliability.
The W7 ASD is a very powerful tool, yet surprisingly simple to operate. The W7 ASD has an easy-to-
read LCD screen that provides easy access to the many monitoring and programming features of the
W7 ASD. The motor control software is menu-driven, which allows for easy access to the motor control
parameters and quick changes when required.
To maximize the abilities of your new W7 ASD, a working familiarity with this manual will be
required. This manual has been prepared for the W7 ASD installer, operator, and maintenance
personnel.
The W7 ASD is truly Reliability in motion.
