Preface
Thank you for choosing DELTA’s sensorless vector control compact drive VFD-EL-W series. The VFD-EL-W series
are manufactured with high-quality components and materials and incorporate the latest microprocessor
technology available.
Use this manual for the AC Motor Drive installation, parameter setting, troubleshooting, and daily maintenance. To
guarantee safe operation, read the following safety guidelines before connecting power to the AC motor drive.
Keep this user manual at hand and distribute to all users for reference.
To ensure the safety of operators and equipment, only qualified personnel familiar with AC motor drive are to do
installation, start-up and maintenance. Always read this manual thoroughly before using VFD-EL-W series AC
Motor Drive, especially the DANGER ，WARNING and CAUTION notes. Failure to comply may result in personal
injury and equipment damage. If you have any questions, please contact your dealer.
PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION FOR SAFETY.
 Disconnect AC input power before connecting any wiring to the AC motor drive.
 Even if the power has been turned off, a charge may still remain in the DC-link
capacitors with hazardous voltages before the indicator on the digital keypad is
OFF. Do NOT touch the internal circuits and components.
 There are highly sensitive CMOS IC components on the motor drive’s printed
circuit boards. These components are especially sensitive to static electricity.
Take anti-static measure before touching these components or the circuit boards.
 Never modify the internal components or wiring.
 Ground the AC motor drive by using the ground terminal. The grounding method
must comply with the laws of the country where the AC motor drive is to be
installed.
 Use the VFD-EL-W series to control only variable speed three-phase induction
motors. The VFD-EL-W is NOT for controlling one-phase motors or for other
purposes.
 Do NOT use the VFD-EL-W series for life support equipment or any life safety
situation.
 To prevent personal injury, keep children and unqualified people away from the
equipment.
 Never connect the AC motor drive output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3 directly
to the AC mains circuit power supply.
 DO NOT use a Hi-Pot test for internal components. The semiconductors used in
the AC motor drive are easily damaged by high-voltage.
 Even if the three-phase AC motor is stopped, a charge with hazardous voltages
may still remain in the main circuit terminals of the AC motor drive
 Only qualified persons are allowed to install, wire and maintain the AC motor
drives.
 When the AC motor drive uses the external terminal as the source of the
operation command, the motor may run immediately after applying power. At this
time, it is dangerous if people are at the scene.
i
 DO NOT install the AC motor drive in a location subject to high temperature, direct
sunlight, high humidity, or splash of water droplets.
 Use the AC motor drives only within specification. Failure to comply may result in
fire, explosion or electric shock.
 When the motor cable between AC motor drive and motor is too long, the
insulation layer of the motor may be damaged. Use a frequency inverter-duty
motor or add an AC output reactor to prevent damage to the motor. Refer to
Appendix B “Reactor” for details.
 The rated voltage of power system to install motor drives is listed below. Ensure
that the installation voltage is in the correct range when installing a motor drive.
1. For 230V models, the range is between 180V~264V
2. For 460V models, the range is between 342V~528V
 The performance of electrolytic capacitor will degrade if it is not charged for a long
time. It is recommended to charge the drive which is stored in no charge condition
every 2 years for 3~4 hours to restore the performance of electrolytic capacitor in
the motor drive. Note: When power up the motor drive, use adjustable AC power
source (ex. AC autotransformer) to charge the drive at 70%~80% of rated voltage
for 30 minutes (do not run the motor drive). Then charge the drive at 100% of rated
voltage for an hour (do not run the motor drive). By doing these, restore the
performance of electrolytic capacitor before starting to run the motor drive. Do
NOT run the motor drive at 100% rated voltage right away.
 Pay attention to the following precautions when transporting and installing this
package (including wooden crate and wood stave)
1. If you need to deworm the wooden crate, do NOT use fumigation or you will
damage the drive. Any damage to the drive caused by using fumigation voids
the warranty.
2. Use other methods, such as heat treatment or any other non-fumigation
treatment, to deworm the wood packaging material.
3. If you use heat treatment to deworm, leave the packaging materials in an
environment of over 56°C for a minimum of thirty minutes.
 If the motor drive generates leakage current goes over AC 3.5 mA or over DC 10
mA on a protective earth (PE) conductor, the PE conductor must be a copper wire
with a cross section of minimum 10mm2 or an aluminum wire with a cross section
of at least 16mm2. You can also install an earth-leakage circuit breaker
(ELCB).

RFI Jumper
(1) In the drive there are Varistor / MOVs, which are connected from phase to phase and from phase to ground, to
protect the drive against mains surges or voltage spikes.
Because the Varistors / MOVs from phase to ground are connected to ground via the RFI jumper, the
protection will be ineffective when the RFI jumper is removed.
(2) In the models with built-in EMC filter the RFI jumper connects the filer capacitors to ground to form a return
path for high frequency noise to isolate the noise from contaminating the main power. Removing the RFI
jumper strongly reduces the effect of the built-in EMC filter.
Isolating main power from ground:
When the power distribution system for the motor drive is a floating ground system (IT) or an asymmetric
ground system (TN), you must remove the RFI jumper. Removing the RFI jumper disconnects the
internal capacitors from ground to avoid damaging the internal circuits and to reduce the ground leakage
current.
Important points regarding ground connection
 Do not remove RFI jumper while the power is ON.
 Make sure that main power is OFF before removing the RFI jumper.
 Removing the RFI jumper also cuts off the built-in EMC filter capacitors. Compliance with the EMC
specifications is no longer guaranteed.
If you remove the RFI jumper, you remove the reliable electrical isolation. In other words, all controlled inputs and
outputs become low-voltage terminals with basic electrical isolation. Also, when you remove the internal RFI
jumper, the motor drive is no longer electromagnetic compatible (EMC).
 Do not remove the RFI jumper if the main power is a grounded power system to make EMC filter effective
 You must remove the RFI jumper when conducting high voltage tests. When conducting a high voltage test for
the entire facility, disconnect the main power and the motor if the leakage current is too high.
 To prevent damage to the drive, you must remove the RFI jumper connected to ground if the AC motor drive is
installed on an ungrounded power system or a high resistance-grounded (greater than 30 Ω) power system or a
corner grounded TN system.

NOTE
1. Due to a small protruding part of the heat-sink at the bottom of the Frame A1/ A2, we calculate the distance C
for the side-by-side horizontal installation according to the main part of the motor drive only.
2. Frame A1 and A2 does not support zero-stack installation, whereas Frame B supports zero-stack installation.
3. Running the drive continuously with full load by the ambient temperature listed in the “Max. ( Derating is not
requiered)” column reduces the drive’s life span.
4. After installing a cooling fan to VFD007EL21W(-1), the operating temperature of this model is as shown in the
table above. When VFD007EL21W(-1) doesn’t have cooling fan, its operating temperature should be 10 ºC
lower than the temperature shown above (See Cooling Fan Installation in Appendix B.4).

CAUTION!
1. Mount the AC motor drive vertically on a flat vertical surface with screws. Other mounting directions are not
allowed.
2. The AC motor drive generates heat during operation. Allow sufficient space around the unit for heat
dissipation. When you install the AC motor drive in a confined space (for example a cabinet), the surrounding
temperature must be meet specifications of operation (as shown in chapter 1.2.1) with good ventilation. DO
NOT install the AC motor drive in a space with poor ventilation.
3. The heat sink temperature may rise to 90°C when running. The metallic material on which the AC motor
drive is mounted must be noncombustible, be excellent at thermal dissipation and be able to withstand this
high temperature.
4. When installing multiple AC motor drives in the same cabinet, mount them in a row with enough space
between for ventilation. When installing one AC motor drive below another one, use a metal separator
between the AC motor drives to prevent mutual heating.

After removing the covers of input/output side terminals and control board terminals, verify the main circuit
terminals and control circuit terminals are clear. Be sure to observe the following precautions when wiring.
 Turn off the AC motor drive power before installing any wiring. A hazardous charge may
still remain in the DC bus capacitors after the power has been turned off. For your safety,
wait until the digital keypad indictor turns off and measure the DC voltage with the
voltmeter. Makes sure the voltage drops to a safe level < 25 VDC before wiring. Performing
DANGER a wiring installation while voltage remains may cause sparks and short circuits.
 Only qualified personnel familiar with AC motor drives are allowed to do the wiring. Make
sure the power is turned off before wiring to prevent electric shock.
 Make sure that power is only applied to the R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3 terminals. Failure to
comply may result in damage to the equipment. The voltage and current should be in the
range on the AC motor drive nameplate.(refer to Section 1-1 Receiving and Inspection for
details)
 The grounding terminals must be well-grounded to prevent electric shock or fire accidents
and to reduce noise interference.
 Make sure that you correctly tighten the main circuit terminal screws to prevent sparks that
can be caused by screws loosened due to vibration.
 When wiring, choose wires that comply with local regulations for your safety.
 Check following items after finishing the wiring:
1. Are all connections correct?
2. Are there any loose wires?
3. Are there any short circuits between the terminals or to ground?

Wiring for NPN and PNP mode

Internal power supply
External power supply
CAUTION!
1. Separate the main circuit and control circuit wiring to prevent erroneous actions.
2. Use shielded wire for the control wiring and do not expose the peeled-off shield in front of the terminal.
3. Use shielded wire or conduit for the power wiring and ground the two ends of the shielded wire or conduit.
4. Damaged insulation of wiring may cause personal injury or damage to circuits and equipment if it comes in
contact with high voltage.
5. The AC motor drive, motor and wiring may cause interference. To prevent equipment damage, take care of
interference between the surrounding sensors and the equipment.
6. Connect the AC drive output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3 to the motor terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3,
respectively. To permanently reverse the direction of motor rotation, switch over any of the two motor leads.
7. With long motor cables, high capacitive switching current peaks can cause over-current, high leakage current
or lower current readout accuracy. To prevent this, the motor cable should be less than 20 m for 4.0 kW
models and below. The cable should be less than 50 m for 5.5 kW models and above. For longer motor
cables, use an AC output reactor.
8. The AC motor drives, electric welding machines and the larger horsepower motors should be grounded
separately.
9. Use ground leads that comply with local regulations and keep them as short as possible.
10. The VFD-EL-W series does not have a built-in brake unit，and no support for external brake unit and brake
resistor.
11. When grounding, choose wires that comply with local regulations for your safety.
12. To prevent lightning strike and electric shock, the metal grounding wire of electrical equipment should be
thick and short, and connected to the dedicated grounding terminal of the inverter system.
13. You can install multiple VFD-EL-W units in one location. All the units should be grounded directly to a
common ground terminal, as shown in the figure below. Ensure that there are no ground loops.

Ground connection. Please comply with local regulations.
CAUTION!
Mains power terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3)

 Do NOT connect three-phase motor drives to single-phase AC power. There is no sequential order when
connecting mains power terminals R/L1, S/L2, T/L3. Connect these terminals with a freely usable standard.
 Connect terminals (R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3) with a non-fuse breaker to three-phase AC power for circuit
protection. It is recommended that you add a magnetic contactor (MC) in the power input wiring to cut off
power quickly and reduce malfunction when activating the protection function for the AC motor drives. Both
ends of the MC should have an R-C surge absorber.
 Make sure that you correctly tighten the main circuit terminal screws to prevent sparks caused by loosening
screws due to vibration.
 Use voltage and current levels according to the specifications in Appendix A.
 When using a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), select a current sensor with sensitivity of 200 mA or
higher, and not less than 0.1 second operation time to avoid nuisance tripping. For specific GFCI of the AC
motor drive, select a current sensor with sensitivity of 30 mA or higher.
 Do NOT run or stop AC motor drives by turning the power ON or OFF. Use the RUN or STOP command
through the control terminals or a keypad. If you still need to run or stop the AC drives by turning the power
ON or OFF, it is recommended to do so no more often than ONCE per hour.
Output terminals for main circuit (U, V, W)

 The default for the operation direction is running forward. The method to control the running direction is to set
by the communication parameters. Refer to the Parameter Group 09 in Chapter 4 for details.
 When it is necessary to install the filter at the output side of terminals U/T1, V/T2, W/T3 on the AC motor
drive, use an inductance filter. Do not use phase-compensation capacitors or L-C (Inductance-Capacitance)
or R-C (Resistance-Capacitance), unless approved by Delta.
 DO NOT connect phase-compensation capacitors or surge absorbers at the output terminals of AC motor
drives.
 Use a well-insulated motor, suitable for inverter operation.

The V/F control is a constant value control mode. In this control mode, frequency decreasing and magnetic
field increasing are under control. But as the frequency decreases, a problem rises: the insufficiency of motor’s
torque in a weaken low frequency magnetic field. To solve this problem, set Pr.07.02 Torque Compensation to
compensate torque then to have the best operating performance. Common applications are water pumps,
conveyors, compressors and treadmills.
 Vector Control:

01.01 Motor Rated Frequency (Fbase) Unit: 0.01

 Set this value according to the rated motor frequency as indicated on the motor nameplate. The Maximum
Voltage Frequency determines the V/F curve ratio. For example, if the drive is rated for 460 VAC output and
you set the maximum voltage frequency to 60 Hz, the drive maintains a constant ratio of 7.66 V/Hz (460 V / 60
Hz = 7.66 V/Hz). This parameter value must be equal to or greater than the Mid-Point Frequency (Pr.01.03).
01.02 Motor Rated Voltage (Vbase) Unit: 0.1

Settings 230V series 0.1–255.0 V Default: 220.0

 The Output Frequency Lower Limit value = (Pr.01.00 * Pr.01.08) / 100.
 The Upper / Lower Limits are to prevent operation faults and machine damage.
 If the Output Frequency Upper Limit is 50 Hz and the Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01.00) is 60 Hz, the
Output Frequency will be limited to 50 Hz.
 If the Output Frequency Lower Limit is 10 Hz, and the Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.01.05) is 1.0 Hz, then
any command frequency between 1.0–10 Hz generates a 10 Hz output from the drive. If the command
frequency is less than 1.0 Hz, the drive is in ready status without output.
 If the Output Frequency Upper Limit is 60 Hz and the Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01.00) is 60 Hz, the
maximum output frequency will not be larger than 60 Hz even executing slip compensation. If the output
frequency must be larger than 60 Hz, adjust the output frequency upper limit or increase the maximum
operation frequency.

2 Linear acceleration and auto-deceleration.

3 Auto-acceleration and auto-deceleration (set by load)
4 Auto-acceleration and auto-deceleration (set by Acceleration/Deceleration Time
setting)
 With auto-acceleration and auto-deceleration it is possible to reduce vibration and shocks during starting and
stopping the load.
During auto-acceleration, the torque is automatically measured and the drive accelerates to the set frequency
with the shortest acceleration time and the smoothest starting current.
During auto-deceleration, the drive measures the regenerative energy and the motor is stopped smoothly with
the shortest deceleration time.
When this parameter is set to 4, the actual acceleration/deceleration time are equal to or greater than
Pr.01.09–Pr.01.12.
 Auto-acceleration and auto-deceleration makes the complicated processes of tuning unnecessary. It makes
operation efficient and saves energy by acceleration without stalling and deceleration without using the brake
resistor.
 In applications with the brake resistor or brake unit, it is not recommended to use auto-deceleration.

 Ensure smooth acceleration and deceleration using an S-curve.
0: Disables the S-curve function.
0.1–10.0/0.01–10.00: Enables the S-curve function.
Setting the parameter to 0.1/0.01 gives the shortest S-curve and setting the parameter to 10.0/10.00 gives the
longest and smoothest S-curve.
 The following diagram shows that the original setting of the Acceleration and Deceleration Time is only for
reference when you enable the S-curve. The actual acceleration and deceleration time depends on the
selected S-curve (0.1 to 10.0). Pr.01.17 must be smaller than Pr.01.09 or Pr.01.11; Pr.01.18 must be smaller
than Pr.01.10 or Pr.01.12. Otherwise, the S-curve is invalid.
The total acceleration time = Pr.01.09 + Pr.01.17 or Pr.01.11 + Pr.01.17

 If any two of the parameters (between Pr.01.20–Pr.01.27) have the same stop frequency, set their Delay Time
of Simple Positioning Stop to the same values.
01.28 Delay Time of Simple Positioning Stop 0 Unit: 0.01

Settings 0.00–600.00 sec. Default: 0.00
 This is valid only when Pr.02.02 motor stop method is set to 4: simple positioning stop.
 The settings 0–7 for Pr.01.20–Pr.01.27 must work with the settings 0–7 for Pr.01.28–Pr.01.35 and correspond
to each other. Below is their corresponding.

The value of t x in the equation above describes as below.

As shown in the figure below, assume that the radius of the four-pole motor is r and rotation speed is n (RPM).

Example 1
When the motor swivel table rotates at 50 Hz, and Pr.02.02 = 4 [Simple Positioning Stop; E.F.: coast to stop], and
Pr.01.26 = 50 Hz [Simple Positioning Stop Frequency 6], and its corresponding Pr.01.34 = 2 sec. [Delay Time of
Simple Positioning Stop 6], then the deceleration time from 50 Hz to 0 Hz is 10 seconds.
After executing the stop command, Simple Positioning Stop activates, its rotation speed is
n = 120 x 50 / 4 (revolution / minute) = 25 (revolution / second)
The number of revolution of the swivel table = (25 x (2 + 12)) / 2 = 175 (revolutions)
4-36
Therefore, the motor’s operation distance after executing the stop command = number of revolutions x
circumference = 175 x 2 πr. It also menas that the swivel table goes back to the top after 175 revolutions.
Example 2
Assume that the motor swivel table rotates at 1.5 Hz, and Pr.01.22 = 10 Hz [Simple Positioning Stop Frequency 2],
and Pr.01.30 = 10 sec. [Delay Time of Simple Positioning Stop 2], then the deceleration time from 60 Hz to 0 Hz is
40 seconds.
The delay time at stop for 1.5 Hz is 1.5 second; the deceleration time from 1.5 Hz to 0 Hz is 1 second.
After executing the stop command, Simple Positioning Stop activates, its rotation speed is
n = 120 x 1.5 / 4 (revolution / minute) = 1.5 / 2 (revolution / second)
The number of revolution of the swivel table = (1.5 / 2 x (1.5 + 2.5)) / 2 = 1.5 (revolutions)
Therefore, the motor’s operation distance after executing the stop command = number of revolutions x
circumference = 1.5 x 2 πr. It also means the swivel table stops after running 1.5 revolutions.

Default: 0
Settings 0: Digital keypad UP/DOWN keys or Multi-function Inputs UP/DOWN.
1: 0–10 V from AVI
2: 4–20 mA from ACI
 Sets the Master Frequency Command Source for the AC motor drive.
 Pr.02.09 is only valid when you set one of Pr.04.06, Pr.04.07, or Pr.04.08 = 22. When setting 22 is activated,
the frequency command source is the setting for Pr.02.09. You can only enable only one of the first master
frequency command and second master frequency command sources at one time.
 When using the AVI terminal, pay attention to the ACI / AVI dip switch location on the AC motor drive. If you
select ACI, the drive receives 4–20 mA analog current signal; if you select AVI, the drive receives 0–10 VDC
analog voltage signal.

2: STOP: ramp to stop E.F.: ramp to stop
3: STOP: coast to stop E.F.: ramp to stop
4: Simple positioning stop E.F.: coast to stop
 This parameter determines how the motor is stopped when the AC motor drive receives a valid stop command
or detects an external fault.
Ramp to stop: The AC motor drive decelerates to the Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.01.05) according to the
deceleration time and then stops.
Coast to stop: The AC motor drive stops the output instantly and the motor coasts until it comes to a standstill.
 The motor stop method is usually determined by the characteristics of the motor load and how frequently it is
stopped.
(1) It is recommended that you use “ramp to stop” for the safety of personnel or to prevent material from
being wasted in applications where the motor has to stop after the drive is stopped. Set the deceleration
time accordingly.
(2) If motor coasting is allowed or the load inertia is large, it is recommended that you use “coast to stop”.

 From the table, you can see that the PWM carrier frequency has a significant influence on the electromagnetic
noise, AC motor drive heat dissipation, and motor acoustic noise. The PWM carrier frequency is decreased
automatically according to the ambient temperature and output current of the AC motor drives. It is used to
prevent the AC motor drive from overheating and thus extend the IGBT’s life. Increasing the PWM carrier
frequency may reduce the noise of motor operation, but interference measures have to be taken for the
consideration of overall wiring.

1. 0: The drive receives the operation command and runs immediately.
2. 1: The drive does not receive the operation command. To make the motor run, cancel the operation
command, and then input again.
3. 4: It is an external terminal control setting when the motor drive restarts after an instantaneous power
failure. When the motor drive has an instantaneous power failure, the DC bus decreases to Lv. If you send
a command from the host computer while the DC bus is at Lv, and the operating command is still on
conductive trigger, the motor drive can be restarted.
 Power-on:
When the operation command source is the external terminal and the operation command is ON (MI1-
DCM=closed), the AC motor drive operates according to Pr.02.05 after power is applied.
(1) When you set Pr.02.05 to 0 or 2 or 4, the AC motor drive runs immediately.
(2) When you set Pr.02.05 to 1 or 3, the AC motor drive remains stopped until the operation command is
received after the previous operation command is cancelled.
 When the operation command source is not the external terminals, regardless of whether the AC motor drive
runs or stops, the AC motor drive operates according to Pr.02.05 if the two conditions below are both met.
1. The operation command source is changed to external terminal (Pr.02.01 = 1 or 2)
2. The status of the terminal and the AC motor drive are different.

Example 2:
If you want the corresponded minimum value to be 12 Hz (the master frequency setting) when operating the
keypad potentiometer to the leftmost, and you set other frequency settings, refer to the diagram below. The
correspondence between the keypad potentiometer (voltage) and setting frequency has been changed from
0–5 V (min.–max.) / 0–60 Hz to 0–4 V / 0–60 Hz. Therefore, the 4 V and above from the keypad potentiometer
all correspond to 60 Hz. To use the full potentiometer range, refer to Example 3.
Example 3:
As shown in this example, the keypad potentiometer can be used for all ranges of 0–5 V / 0–60 Hz settings.
This increases flexibility.
Example 4:
This example shows how to use the first half range 0–2.5 V (min.–1/2 * max.) from the keypad potentiometer
to set 0–60 Hz frequency settings. You can achieve the same results by either adjusting Pr.04.02 gain or
setting Pr.01.00 to 120 Hz.

Example 5:
This example uses a 1 V negative bias. In noisy environments, negative bias can be useful to provide a noise
margin (1 V in this example).
Example 6:
This example uses a negative bias to provide a noise margin. In additional, it uses a potentiometer frequency
gain to reach the Maximum Output Frequency.
Example 7:
In this example, you perform the input to run the motor in both the forward and reverse directions. The motor is
idle when the potentiometer position is at its mid-point. Using the settings in this example disables the external

binary to decimal.
For example: setting MI3 and MI4 to be 1 = N.C.; seting MI1 and MI2 to be 0 = N.O.
The setting value for Pr.04.09 should be 12.
04.10 Digital Terminal Input Response Time Unit: 1 msec

Settings 1–20 (*2ms) Default: 1
 This parameter delays the signals on digital input terminals. A value of 1=2 ms, 2=4 ms, and so on. The delay
time helps with noisy signals that could cause the digital terminals to malfunction. This parameter could
effectively improve the interference, but the response time will be delayed.

 The delay function of multi-function input terminals ON/OFF: In the testing process of automatic production
line, the conveyor uses photoelectric switch as a triggered switch for the position reached, which means the
conveyor stops once the product arrives the specified position. However, there may be a difference between
the installation position of the photoelectric switch and the specified position the product arrives. Therefore,
this delay time function is added for the convenience of tuning.

 0.0: Disables the Over-voltage Stall Prevention (with brake unit or brake resistor)
 During deceleration, the DC bus voltage may exceed its Maximum Allowable Value due to motor regeneration.
When this function is enabled, the AC motor drive does not decelerate further and keep the output frequency
constant until the voltage drops below the preset value again.
 This parameter is suitable for uncertain load inertia. In normal inertia load condition, over-voltage stall
prevention does not occur and the actual deceleration time is the deceleration time setting. However, when the
load inertia is large, the AC motor drive automatically increases the deceleration time until it stops. You can
also install a brake resistor to absorb the excessive regenerative voltage. If the deceleration time affects your
application, it is not recommended to use this function.

Group 7: Motor Parameters

07.00 Motor Rated Current Unit: 0.1
Settings 23% FLA–120% FLA Default: 100
 Use the following formula to calculate the percentage value entered in this parameter:
FLA = (Motor Current / AC Motor Drive Current) x 100%
Motor Current = Motor rated current in A on the motor nameplate
AC Motor Drive Current = Rated current of AC motor drive in A (see Pr.00.01)
07.01 Motor No-load Current Unit: 0.1

Settings 0% FLA–99% FLA Default: 40
 The rated current of the AC motor drive is equal to 100%. The setting for the motor no-load current affects the
slip compensation.
 The setting value must be smaller than Pr.07.00 (Motor Rated Current).
07.02 Torque Compensation Unit: 0.1

 Sets the AC motor drive to automatically increase voltages to get a higher torque when the AC motor drive is
running.
 Note that too high a torque compensation can overheat the motor.
07.03 Slip Compensation Gain Unit: 0.01

 For an asynchronous motor, increasing the load on the AC motor drive causes slip to increase and results in
decreased speed. Use this parameter to compensate for slip by increasing the output frequency. When the
output current of the AC motor drive is larger than the motor no-load current value (Pr.07.01), the AC motor
drive adjusts the output frequency according to this parameter.
07.04 Motor Parameter Auto-Tuning

Settings 0: Disable Default: 0
1: Auto-tuning R1 (Motor does not run)
2: Auto-tuning R1 + No-load current (with
running motor)
 Start auto-tuning by pressing the RUN key after you set this parameter to 1 or 2.
1: Auto-detect only the R1 value, and manually enter Pr.07.01.
2: Unload the AC motor drive and automatically set the values for Pr.07.01 and Pr.07.05.
The steps for auto-tuning are:
1. Ensure that all the parameters are set to defaults and the motor wiring is correctly.
2. Ensure that the motor is not loaded before executing auto-tuning and that the shaft is not connected to
any belt or reducer.
3. Enter the correct settings for Pr.01.01 Motor Rated Frequency (Fbase), Pr.01.02 Motor Rated Voltage
(Vbase), Pr.07.00 Motor Rated Current, and Pr.07.06 Motor Rated Slip (Motor 0).
4. After you set Pr.07.04 to 2, the AC motor drive executes auto-tuning immediately after receiving a RUN
command (CAUTION: the motor will run!). The total auto-tuning time is 15 seconds = Pr.01.09 + Pr.01.10.
Higher-power drives need longer acceleration and deceleration time (the default is recommended). After
executing auto-tuning, it sets Pr.07.04 to 0.
5. After executing auto-tuning, check to ensure there are values filled in for Pr.07.01 and Pr.07.05. If not,
press the RUN key after setting Pr.07.04 again to repeat auto-tuning.
6. Finally, set Pr.00.10 to 1 and set other parameters according to your application requirements.
 Related parameters: Pr.01.01 Motor Rated Frequency (Fbase); Pr.01.02 Motor Rated Voltage
(Vbase); Pr.07.00 Motor Rated Current; Pr.07.01 Motor No-Load Current; Pr.07.05 Motor Line-to Line
Resistance R1 (Motor 0); Pr.07.06 Motor Rated Slip (Motor 0).
. NOTE
1. In vector control mode, it is not recommended to have motors run in parallel.
4-65
2. Vector control mode is not recommended if the motor rated power exceeds the rated power of the AC
motor drive.
07.05 Motor Line-to-line Resistance R1 (Motor 0)

Settings 0–65535 mΩ Default: 0
 The motor auto-tuning procedure sets this parameter. You can also set this parameter without using Pr.07.04
(Motor Parameter Auto-Tuning). This resistance value is the R value between phase and phase of the motor.
Regardless of the motor wiring method, this resistance value is the measured value of any two motor leads.
07.06 Motor Rated Slip (Motor 0)

 Sets the motor rated slip. Enter the actual rated RPM from the motor nameplate.
 Refer to the rated RPM and the number of poles from the motor nameplate and use the following equation to
calculate the rated slip:
Rated Slip = F – N  P / 120
F: Rated frequency (Hz)
N: Rated speed (RPM)
P: Number of poles (Pole)
Assume that the rated frequency of the motor is 60 Hz with 4 poles, and the rated RPM is 1650. The rated
slip calculated by the formula is 60 Hz – (1650 rpm  4 / 120) = 5 Hz.
 This parameter is related to Pr.07.03 Slip Compensation Gain. To get the best slip compensation effect, you
must enter the correct settings. The incorrect setting may cause invalid slip compensation and even damage
the motor and the AC motor drive.
 Related parameter: Pr.07.03 Slip Compensation Gain
07.07 Slip Compensation Limit

 This parameter sets the upper limit of the compensation frequency (the percentage of Pr.07.06). If the motor
speed is lower than the target speed and the speed does not change after adjusting the Pr.07.03 setting, the
AC motor drive may reach the upper limit of the compensation frequency and you may need to increase the
Pr.07.07 setting.
 Related parameters: Pr.07.03 Slip Compensation Gain, Pr.07.06 Motor Rated Slip (Motor 0).
07.08 Torque Compensation Time Constant

 This function is usually applied in applications with heavy load where the motor current changes frequently for
the current compensation to increase the output torque. The frequent current change can cause machine
vibration. Increase the Pr.07.08 setting to solve this problem.
07.09 Slip compensation Time Constant

 This function is usually applied in applications with heavy load where the motor speed changes frequently for
the speed compensation to reach the synchronous speed. The frequent speed change can cause machine
vibration. Increase the Pr.07.09 setting to solve this problem.
 Setting the time constants too high (set Pr.07.08 and Pr.07.09 to 10) results in slow response; setting them too
low results in unstable operation.
07.10 Accumulated Motor Operation Time (Minute) Unit: 1

07.11 Accumulated Motor Operation Time (Day) Unit: 1
 Pr.07.10 and Pr.07.11 record the motor operation time. Clear the values by setting them to 0. Any time that is
less than one minute is not recorded.

07.14 Motor PTC Overheat Protection Level Unit: 0.1
Settings 0.1–10.0 V Default: 2.4
 Running the motor at low frequency for a long time reduces the cooling function of the motor fan. To prevent
overheating, use a Positive Temperature Coefficient thermistor on the motor, and connect the thermistor
output signal to the drive’s corresponding control terminals.
 When you set the source of the first and second frequency command to AVI (Pr.02.00=1 / Pr.02.09=1), you
disable the motor PTC overheat protection (that is, Pr.07.12 cannot be set to 1).
 If the temperature exceeds the setting level, the motor coasts to stop and PtC1 ( ) displays. When the
temperature decreases below the level of (Pr.07.15 minus Pr.07.16) and stops blinking, you can press
the RESET key to clear the fault.
 Pr.07.14 (overheat protection level) must be greater than Pr.07.15 (overheat warning level).
 The PTC function uses the AVI-input and is connected with a resistor-divider as shown in the diagram below.
1. The voltage between +10 V to ACM: between 10.4–11.2 V.
2. The impedance for AVI is around 47 kΩ.
3. The recommended value for the resistor-divider R1 is 1–10 kΩ.
4. Please contact your motor dealer for the temperature curve and resistance value for the PTC function.
 Refer to the following calculation for the protection and warning levels.
1. Protection level
Pr.07.14 = V+10 * (RPTC1//47k) / [R1+( RPTC1//47k)]
2. Warning level
Pr.07.15 = V+10 * (RPTC2//47k) / [R1+( RPTC2//47k)]
3. Definition:
V+10: voltage between +10 V to ACM, Range 10.4–11.2 V
RPTC1: motor PTC overheat protection level; set the corresponding voltage level in Pr.07.14
RPTC2: motor PTC overheat warning level; set the corresponding voltage level in Pr.07.15
47 kΩ: the AVI input impedance
R1: resistor-divider (recommended value: 1–10 kΩ)
 Example: using a standard PTC thermistor, if the protection level is 1330 Ω, the voltage between +10 V to
ACM is 10.5 V and resistor-divider R1 is 4.4 kΩ. Refer to the following calculation for the Pr.07.14 setting.
1330//47000 = (1330*47000) / (1330+47000) = 1293.4
10.5*1293.4 / (4400+1293.4) = 2.38(V) ≒ 2.4(V)
Therefore, set Pr.07.14 to 2.4.

Group 8: Special Parameters

08.00 DC Brake Current Level Unit: 1
 Sets the level of the DC Brake Current output to the motor during start-up and stopping. When setting the DC
Brake Current, the AC Motor Drive Rated Current (Pr.00.01) is equal to 100%. It is recommended to start with
a low DC Brake Current Level and then increase it until you reach the proper holding torque.
08.01 DC Brake Time during Start-up Unit: 0.1

 Determines the duration of the DC Brake current after a RUN command. When the time has elapsed, the AC
motor drive starts accelerating from the Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.01.05).
08.02 DC Brake Time during Stopping Unit: 0.1

 Determines the duration of the DC Brake current during stopping. If you want to stop the motor with the DC
Brake, set Pr.02.02 (Stop Method) to 0 or 2 for Ramp to Stop.
08.03 Start-point for DC Brake Unit: 0.01

 Determines the frequency at which the DC Brake is applied during deceleration.
 Use the DC Brake during Start-up for loads that may move before the AC drive starts, such as fans and
pumps. The DC Brake can hold the load in position before starting the motor.
 Use the DC Brake during stopping to shorten the stopping time, and to hold a stopped load in position, such
as cranes and cutting machines.
08.04 Momentary Power Loss Action

Default: 0
Settings 0 Operation stops (coast to stop) after momentary power loss.
1 Operation continues after momentary power loss, speed search starts with the
last frequency.
2 Operation continues after momentary power loss, speed search starts with the
minimum frequency.
 Determines the operation mode when the AC motor drive restarts from a momentary power loss.
08.05 Maximum Allowable Power Loss Time Unit: 0.1

 Sets the maximum allowable power loss time. If the time exceeds the Maximum Allowable Power Loss Time,
the AC motor drive output turns off (coast to stop).
4-69
 The selected operation after power loss in Pr.08.04 is only executed when the maximum allowable power loss
time is  5 seconds and the AC motor drive keypad displays “Lu”.
If the AC motor drive is powered off due to overload, even if the maximum allowable power loss time is  5
seconds, the drive does not execute the operation mode you set for Pr.08.04. In that case it starts up
normally.
08.06 Base Block Speed Search

Default: 1
Settings 0 Disable
1 Speed search starts with the last frequency command

 When the AC motor drive detects a momentary power loss, it blocks its output and then waits for a period of
time specified by this parameter before resuming operation. Set this parameter at a value that ensures that
any residual regeneration voltage from the motor on the output has disappeared before the drive is activated
again.
 This parameter also determines the waiting time before resuming operation after an External Base Block and
Number of Auto-restarts after Fault (Pr.08.15).
08.08 Current Limit for Speed Search Unit: 1

 Limits the drive output current during a speed search.
 When executing a speed search, the V/F curve is defined by the settings in Parameter Group 01.
08.09 Skip Frequency 1 Upper Limit Unit: 0.01

08.10 Skip Frequency 1 Lower Limit Unit: 0.01
 These parameters cause the AC motor drive not to remain in these frequency ranges with continuous
frequency output. Set these six parameters as follows Pr.08.09  Pr.08.10  Pr.08.11  Pr.08.12  Pr.08.13 

08.16 Auto-reset Time for Restart after Fault Unit: 0.1
Settings 0.1–6000 sec. Default: 60.0
 After an over-current OC or over-voltage OV fault occurs, the AC motor drive can automatically reset/restart
up to ten times.
 Setting this parameter to 0 disables automatic reset/restart operation after any fault.
When enabled, the AC motor drive restarts with speed search, which starts at the last frequency before the
fault.
4-71
 Use this parameter in conjunction with Pr.08.15.

For example: If you set Pr.08.15 to 10 and Pr.08.16 to 600 seconds (10 minutes), and if there is no fault for
over 600 seconds from the restart for the previous fault, then the number of auto-restarts after a fault is reset
to 10.
08.17 Auto-energy Saving

Default: 0
Settings 0 Disable Energy-saving operation
1 Enable Energy-saving operation
 When you set Pr.08.17 to 1, acceleration and deceleration operate at full voltage. During constant speed
operation, the AC motor drive automatically calculates the best voltage value for the power for the current
load. This function is not suitable for constantly changing loads or near-full loads during operation.
08.18 Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)

Default: 0
Settings 0 AVR function enabled
1 AVR function disabled
2 AVR function disabled for deceleration
3 AVR function disabled for stop
 The motor rated voltage is usually 230/200 VAC 50/60 Hz and the AC motor drive input voltage may vary
between 180–264 VAC 50/60 Hz. Therefore, when you use the AC motor drive without the AVR function, the
output voltage is the same as the input voltage. When the motor runs at voltages exceeding the rated voltage
by 12–20%, the motor’s lifetime is shortened and the motor can be damaged due to higher temperature,
failing insulation and unstable torque output.
 The AVR function automatically regulates the AC motor drive output voltage to the Maximum Output Voltage
(Pr.01.02). For instance, if you set Pr.01.02 to 200 VAC and the input voltage is at 200–264 VAC, then the
Maximum Output Voltage is automatically reduced to a maximum of 200 VAC.
 When the motor ramps to stop, the deceleration time is longer. When setting this parameter to 2 with auto-
acceleration / auto-deceleration, the deceleration is quicker.
08.19 Reserved
08.20 Compensation Coefficient for Motor Instability Unit: 0.1

 The drift current occurs in a specific zone of the motor and it causes serious motor vibration. It is
recommended to use this parameter (the recommended value is 2.0) to greatly improve this situation. (The
drift current zone for high-power motors is usually in the low frequency area.)
08.21 DC Current Level during Preheating

4-72
 Sets the DC current level input to the motor during preheating. The DC current during preheating is 100%
equal to the Motor Rated Current (Pr.07.00). When setting this parameter, increase the current level slowly
until you reach the desired preheating temperature.
 Related parameters: Pr.08.22 (DC Current Cycle Time during Preheating), Pr.03.00 (Multi-function Output
Relay #24: Preheating function indication), Pr.04.06–Pr.04.08 (Multi-function Input Terminal #26: Auto-trigger
preheating function).
08.22 DC Current Cycle Time during Preheating

 Sets the cycle time that the DC current input to the motor during preheating. 0–100% corresponds to 0–10
seconds. When you set the cycle time to 0%, it means that there is no current output; 100% means
continuous current output. For example, if you set the cycle time to 50%, the time that the current input to the
motor for one cycle is five seconds; the stopping time is five seconds. When the AC motor drive stops
running, continuous DC current automatically and cyclically input to the motor. When you use this parameter
with MI=26 (Auto-trigger preheating function), this parameter works with the MI signal continuously and
cyclically until the AC motor drive starts the motor operation or MI=26 is disabled.
 The preheating function works when Pr.08.21 and Pr.08.22 are not set to 0.
 When MI=26 (Auto-trigger preheating function) is enabled, MI terminal determines the preheating function.
 When MI=26 is disabled, the preheating function is enabled after the AC motor drive stops its first operation or
when the AC motor drive starts after re-applying power.
 The diagram below shows the 50% setting for the cycle time that the DC current input to the motor during
preheating when MI=26 (Auto-trigger preheating function) is enabled.
 The diagram below shows the 50% setting for the cycle time that the DC current input to the motor during
preheating when MI=26 (Auto-trigger preheating function) is disabled. The preheating function automatically
enables continuous current input after the drive stops running.

 The diagram below shows the sequential relationship between the preheating function and enabled DC brake.
08.23 Fire Mode

Settings 0: No function Default: 0
1: Forward running
2: Running in reverse
 Use this parameter with Pr.04.06–Pr.04.08 multi-function input terminals #27 or #28 (Fire mode enabled
with/without operation command) and Pr.03.00 multi-function output terminal #25 (Fire Mode Indication).
0: The fire mode is invalid.
1: The motor runs in a clockwise direction (U, V, W) during fire accident.
2: The motor runs in a counterclockwise direction (U, V, W) during fire accident.
08.24 Operating Frequency during Fire Mode

 Sets the AC motor drive’s operating frequency when the fire mode is enabled.
08.25 Number of Fire Mode Actions

Settings Read only Default: Read only
 As long as the fire mode is enabled for more than four minutes, regardless of whether the AC motor drive
runs or not, the fire mode action and its number of occurrences are recorded. Note that this parameter is
read-only. Any parameter value that is not zero voids the warranty.
※ Fire mode end process flow:

 If you set the Pr.04.06–Pr.04.08 multi-function input terminal=27/28 to ON or the communication address to
2002H with bit5=1 (fire mode enabled), and the fire mode is enabled for more than four minutes, and then you
set the Pr.04.06–Pr.04.08 multi-function input terminal=27/28 to OFF or the communication address to 2002H
with bit5=0 (no function), the counter starts to count from four minutes after the fire mode is enabled. After the
fire mode is enabled for 2.5 hours, the AC motor drive resumes normal operation, and stops or operates to
normal operating frequency according to the original input status.
 If you set the Pr.04.06–Pr.04.08 multi-function input terminal=27/28 to ON or the communication address to
2002H with bit5=1 (fire mode enabled), and the fire mode is enabled for less than four minutes, the AC motor
drive resumes normal operation once the fire mode is disabled, and stops or operates to normal operating
frequency according to the original input status.

 Control by PC
1. When using RS-485 to connect with the communication port, you must set the communication address
for each VFD-EL-W drive in Pr.09.00 first so that the PC controls according to each address.
2. You can set a VFD-EL-W drive to communicate over Modbus networks using one of the following
modes: ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) or RTU (Remote Terminal Unit).
Select the desired mode along with the serial port communication protocol in this parameter.
3. Code Description:
The CPU delays about 1 second when using the communication reset; therefore, there is at least 1
second delay time in the master station.

4. CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) is calculated by the following steps:

Step 1: Load a 16-bit register (called CRC register) with FFFFH.
Step 2: Exclusive OR the first 8-bit byte of the command message with the low order byte of the 16-bit
CRC register, storing the result in the CRC register.
Step 3: Examine the LSB of CRC register.
Step 4: If the LSB of CRC register is 0, shift the CRC register one bit to the right with MSB zero filling, then
repeat step 3. If the LSB of CRC register is 1, shift the CRC register one bit to the right with MSB zero
filling, Exclusive OR the CRC register with the polynomial value A001H, then repeat step 3.
Step 5: Repeat step 3 and 4 until eight shifts have been performed. When this is done, a complete 8-bit
byte will have been processed.
Step 6: Repeat step 2 to 5 for the next 8-bit byte of the command message. Continue doing this until all
bytes have been processed. The final content of the CRC register is the CRC value. When transmitting the
CRC value in the message, the upper and lower bytes of the CRC value must be swapped, that is the
lower order byte will be transmitted first.
The following is an example of CRC generation using C language. The function takes two arguments:
Unsigned char* data  a pointer to the message buffer
Unsigned char length  the quantity of bytes in the message buffer
The function returns the CRC value as a type of unsigned integer.
Unsigned int crc_chk(unsigned char* data, unsigned char length){
int j;
unsigned int reg_crc=0xFFFF;
while(length--){
reg_crc ^= *data++;
for(j=0;j<8;j++){
if(reg_crc & 0x01){ /* LSB(b0)=1 */
reg_crc=(reg_crc>>1) ^ 0xA001;
}else{
reg_crc=reg_crc >>1;
}
}
}
return reg_crc;

6. Exception response:
The AC motor drive is expected to return a normal response after receiving command messages from the
master device. The following describes the conditions when no normal response is returned to the master
device.
The AC motor drive does not receive the messages due to a communication error, and the AC motor drive
has no response. The master device eventually processes a time-out condition.
The AC motor drive receives the messages without a communication error, but cannot handle them. An
exception response is returned to the master device and a fault message “CExx” displays on the AC motor
drive keypad. The xx of “CExx” is a decimal code equal to the exception code (described below).
In the exception response, the most significant bit of the original command code is set to 1, and an
exception code that explains the condition that caused the exception is returned.
The following is an example of an exception response of command code 06H and exception code 02H.

2 Positive PID feedback from external terminal ACI (4–20 mA)
3 Negative PID feedback from external terminal ACI (4–20 mA)
 Note that the measured variable (feedback) controls the output frequency (Hz). Select the input terminal
accordingly. Ensure that this parameter setting does not conflict with the setting for Pr.10.00 (Master
Frequency).
 Negative feedback: error = set point (SP) – feedback (FB)
Positive feedback: error = feedback (FB) – set point (SP)
10.11 PID Set Point Value Unit: 0.1

 Sets the set point in Hz in conjunction with Pr.10.00 setting to 4.
10.02 Proportional Gain (P) Unit: 0.1

 Determines the deviation response of Proportional gain (P). Eliminates the system error; usually used to
decrease the error and get faster response speed. It also reduces the steady-state error. But if you set the
value too high, it may cause system oscillation and instability.
 If you set the other two gains (I and D) to zero, proportional control is the only effective parameter.
10.03 Integral Time (I) Unit: 0.01

0.00 Disable
 Use the integral controller to eliminate the error during stable system operation. The integral control does
not stop working until the error is zero. The integral is affected by the integral time.
 The smaller the integral time, the stronger the integral action. It is helpful to reduce overshoot and
oscillation for a stable system. Accordingly, the speed to lower the steady-state error decreases. The
integral control is often used with the other two controls for the PI controller or PID controller.
 Sets the integral time of the I controller. When the integral time is long, there is a small I controller gain,
with slower response and slow external control. When the integral time is short, there is a large I controller
gain, with faster response and rapid external control.
 If the integral time is too short, it may cause overshoot and system oscillation.
 Set Integral Time to 0.00 to disable Pr.10.03.
10.04 Differential Time (D) Unit: 0.01

 Use the differential controller to show the system error change and to preview the change in the error. You
can use the differential controller to eliminate the error in order to improve the system state. Using a
suitable differential time can reduce overshoot and shorten adjustment time; however, the differential
4-87
operation increases noise interference. Note that a too large differential causes more noise interference. In
addition, the differential shows the change and the output is 0 when there is no change. Note that you
cannot use the differential control independently. You must use it with the other two controllers for the PD
controller or PID controller.
 Sets the D controller gain to determine the error change response. Using a suitable differential time
reduces the P and I controllers overshoot to decrease the oscillation for a stable system. A differential time
that is too long may cause system oscillation.
 The differential controller acts on the change in the error and cannot reduce the interference. Do not use
this function when there is significant interference.
10.05 Upper Bound for Integral Control Unit: 1

 Defines an upper bound for the integral gain (I) and therefore limits the Master Frequency. The formula is
Integral upper bound = Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01.00) x (Pr.10.05).
 An excessive integral value causes a slow response due to sudden load changes and may cause motor
stall or machine damage.
10.06 PID Filter Time Unit: 0.1

Frequency Limit = Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01.00) X Pr.10.07%. This parameter limits the
Maximum Output Frequency. You can set an overall limit for the output frequency in Pr.01.07.
10.08 PID Feedback Signal Detection Time Unit: 0.1

 This function in only for ACI signal.
 Defines the time during which the PID feedback is abnormal before a warning (see Pr.10.09) is given. It
can also be modified according to the system feedback signal time.

10.13 PID Deviation Detection Time Unit: 0.1
 Sets the detection of the deviation between the set point and the feedback signal value.
 The base for Pr.10.12 is Pr.01.00. When the PID feedback control is enabled, and (PID set point source –
feedback) is larger than Pr.10.12, and the time exceeds the Pr.10.13 setting, then the multi-function output
terminal #16 (PID Feedback Error) displays as a warning and acts according to Pr.10.20 settings.
 When you set Pr.10.12 to 0, PID feedback error detection is disabled.

Settings 0.0–6550 sec. Default: 0.0
10.15 Sleep Frequency Unit: 0.01
10.16 Wake-up Frequency Unit: 0.01
 Sleep mode setting requirements:
 PID function must be enabled.
 The wake-up frequency Pr.10.16 setting must be higher than the sleep frequency Pr.10.15, and ensure
that there must be an appropriate difference between them (5 Hz or above) to prevent frequent switching
between the two frequency status.
 The sleep frequency Pr.10.15 setting must be higher than the Pr.01.08 output frequency lower limit to
prevent being in sleep mode.
 The sleep frequency Pr.10.15 setting must be higher than the Pr.01.05 minimum output frequency.
 Sleep/wake-up mode status description for the AC motor drive:
 When the actual output frequency H < Pr.10.15 and the time exceeds the Pr.10.14 setting, the AC motor
drive no longer outputs and is in sleep mode after the AC motor drive decelerates to Pr.01.05 minimum
output frequency following the deceleration time limit.
 When the AC motor drive is in sleep mode, the frequency command F is still calculated by PID. The
state of the wake-up shows as the following diagram.
 Before the frequency command F calculated by the PID reaches the wake-up frequency Pr.10.16, the
AC motor drive is in sleep mode, and the output frequency H is 0 Hz. The duration of this period of
time is affected by the PID parameters (Pr.10.02, Pr.10.03, and Pr.10.04).
 When the frequency command F calculated by the PID reaches the wake-up frequency Pr.10.16, the
AC motor drive output frequency H accelerates from Pr.01.05 minimum output frequency to Pr.10.16
wake-up frequency following the V/F curve.
 When the actual output frequency H of the AC motor drive accelerates to Pr.10.16 wake-up
frequency, control the AC motor drive output frequency H by PID.
4-89
 When the PID function is enabled and the sleep mode is disabled:
 If Pr.01.08 > Pr.01.05, the lower limit of the AC motor drive output frequency H is limited by Pr.01.08.
 If Pr.01.08 ≤ Pr.01.05, the lower limit of the AC motor drive output frequency H is limited by Pr.01.05.
When it reaches Pr.01.05, the AC motor drive stops output and is in ready status.

Ramp to stop, and restart after Pr.10.21 delay time. The number of times of
4 restart is limited by Pr.10.50 (Number of Times of Restart after PID Fault)
 In PID control mode, the AC motor drive acts according to this parameter when erroneous PID feedback
deviation level occurs (Pr.10.12 and Pr.10.13).
10.21 Restart Delay Time after Erroneous PID Deviation Level Unit: 1

10.22 Set Point Deviation Level Unit: 1

10.23 Detection Time of Set Point Deviation Level Unit: 1

Settings 1–9999 sec. Default: 10
 Pr.10.22 is based on the set point set by the PID control. When the deviation is less than Pr.10.22 and the
time exceeds Pr.10.23 setting, the AC motor drive decelerates to stop to be in a standby status with
constant pressure (this deceleration time is according to the Deceleration Time 2 in Pr.01.12). If the
deviation is still in the range of the error set during deceleration to stop, the system is in standby status.
 Example: Assume that the set point of a constant pressure control for a pump is 4 kg, Pr.10.22 is set to
5%, and Pr.10.23 is set to 15 seconds, then the deviation is 0.2 kg (4 kg X 5% = 0.2 kg). When the
feedback value is higher than 3.8 kg and the time exceeds 15 seconds, the AC motor drive decelerates to
stop (this deceleration time is according to the Deceleration Time 2 in Pr.01.12). When the feedback value
is less than 3.8 kg, the AC motor drive starts to run.
10.24  Deviation Level of Liquid Leakage Unit: 1

 Pr.10.24 is based on the set point set by the PID control. When the drive does not run and is in a constant
pressure status, and if the error is higher than Pr.10.24 due to liquid leakage (minor pressure loss), the AC
motor drive starts to run.
 Use this parameter to avoid the drive’s frequent start-up and stop due to liquid leakage (minor pressure
loss).

 Pr.10.25 and Pr.10.26 define the variation of the feedback value within a time unit in the case of liquid
leakage (minor pressure loss).
 Pr.10.25 sets the variation of the feedback value based on the set point set by the PID control; Pr.10.26 is
the setting value within a time unit. If the variation of the feedback value is less than the settings for
Pr.10.25 and Pr.10.26, the liquid leakage occurs. When the drive does not run and is in a constant
pressure status, and if the variation of the feedback value is higher than the settings for Pr.10.25 and
Pr.10.26, the AC motor drive starts to run in order to keep the system stable.

seconds, Pr.10.24=25%, Pr.10.25=3% and Pr.10.26=0.5 second, then the deviation is 0.2 kg (4 kg X 5% =
0.2 kg). That is, when the feedback value is higher than 3.8 kg and the time exceeds 15 seconds, the AC
motor drive decelerates to stop (this deceleration time is according to the Deceleration Time 2 in Pr.01.12).
When the feedback value is less than 3.8 kg, the AC motor drive starts to run.
 Case 1: Assume that when the AC motor drive does not run and is in a constant pressure status, the
variation of the feedback value is less than 0.12 kg (4 kg X 3% = 0.12 kg) within 0.5 second. When the
feedback value continues to decrease to make the deviation of the set point be less than 1 kg (4 kg X 25%
= 1 kg), that is, when the feedback value is less than 3 kg, the AC motor drive starts to run.
 Case 2: Assume that when the AC motor drive does not run and is in a constant pressure status, the
variation of the feedback value is higher than 0.12 kg (4 kg X 3% = 0.12 kg) within 0.5 second; that is,
when the feedback value is less than 3.88 kg [4－(4 kg X 3%) = 3.88 kg] within 0.5 second, the AC motor

5.12 Electromagnetic/Induction Noise

Many sources of noise surround AC motor drives and affect them by radiation or conduction. This may cause
the control circuits to malfunction and even damage the AC motor drive. Of course, there are solutions to
increase the noise tolerance of an AC motor drive, but this has its limits. Solving the problem from the outside
as follows is the best.
1. Add a surge suppressor on the relays and contacts to suppress switching surges.
2. Shorten the length of the wiring for the control circuit or serial communication and keep them separated
from the power circuit wiring.
3. Comply with the wiring regulations by using shielded wires and isolation amplifiers for long wire length.
4. The grounding terminal must comply with the local regulations and be grounded independently; that is,
do not use a common ground with electric welding machines and other power equipment.
5. Connect a noise filter at the mains input terminal of the AC motor drive to filter noise from the power
circuit.
In short, solutions for electromagnetic noise exist of “no product” (disconnect disturbing equipment), “no
spread” (limit emission from disturbing equipment) and “no receive” (enhance immunity).
5.13 Operating Environment Condition

Since the AC motor drive is an electronic device, you must deal with the operating environment conditions.
Here are some remedial measures to use if necessary.
1. To prevent vibration, anti-vibration dampers are the last choice. Vibration must be within the
specification. Vibration causes mechanical stress and it should not occur frequently, continuously or
repeatedly to prevent damage to the AC motor drive.
2. Store the AC motor drive in a clean and dry location, free from corrosive fumes/dust to prevent corrosion
and poor contacts. Poor insulation in a humid location can cause short circuits. If necessary, install the
AC motor drive in a dust-proof and painted enclosure. If necessary in particular situations, use a
completely sealed enclosure.
3. The ambient temperature should be within the specification. Too high or too low temperature affects the
lifetime and reliability of the AC motor drive. For semiconductor components, damage occurs once any
specification is out of range. It is necessary to periodically check air quality and the cooling fan and
provide extra cooling if required. In addition, the microcomputer may not work in extremely low
temperatures, making cabinet heating necessary.
4. Store the AC motor drive in a relative humidity range of 0% to 90% (non-condensing). Use an air
conditioner and/or desiccator if necessary.
5-11
5.14 Affecting Other Machines

An AC motor drive may affect the operation of other machines due to many reasons. Some solutions are listed
below:
 High Harmonics at Power Side
You can reduce high harmonics at the power side during running.
1. Separate the power system: use a transformer for the AC motor drive.
2. Use a reactor at the power input terminal of the AC motor drive.
3. If using phase lead capacitors (never on the AC motor drive output!), use serial reactors to prevent
damage to the capacitors from high harmonics.
serial reactor
phase lead capacitor
 Motor Temperature Rises
When the motor is a standard induction motor with a fan, the cooling will be insufficient at low speed,
causing the motor to overheat. In addition, high harmonics at the output increases copper and core
losses. Use the following measures depending on load and operation range.
1. Use a motor with independent ventilation (forced external cooling) or increase the motor rated power.
2. Use a special inverter-duty motor.
3. Do NOT run at low speed for long periods of time.

Chapter 6 Fault Code Information and Maintenance
6.1 Fault Code Information

6.2 Maintenance and Inspections
The AC motor drive has various warnings and protections against errors such as over-voltage, low
voltage, or over-current. Once an error occurs, the protections activate, the AC motor drive stops output,
activates the error contacts, and the motor coasts to stop. Please refer to the error display from the AC
motor drive and look up the corresponding causes and solutions. The fault record is stored in the AC
motor drive internal memory and can store the five most recent error messages. You can read it from the
digital keypad or through the communications by accessing the parameters.
The AC motor drive includes a large number of electronic components, including ICs, resistors,
capacitors, transistors, and cooling fans. These components do not last forever. Even under normal
circumstances, they will eventually become error-prone if used past their lifespans. Therefore, you must
perform periodic preventive maintenance to identify defective and worn out parts, and eliminate the
causes of malfunctions in the AC motor drive at an early stage. At the same time, parts that have
exceeded their product life should be replaced whenever possible to ensure safe operation.
Visual checks should be done regularly to monitor the AC motor drive's operation, and to make sure
nothing unusual happens. Check the situations listed in the following table.
 Wait five seconds after a fault has been cleared before pressing RESET with the
input terminal keypad.
 The drive must first be switched off for at least five minutes for ≤ 22 kW models
until the charging indicator turns off before it is safe to open the cover to begin
maintenance operations.
 Only qualified personnel can work on maintenance or replace parts. (Remove
metal items such as watch, rings, and other metal items before operation, and use
only insulated tools.)
 Never modify internal components or wiring.
 The performance and the surrounding environment should meet the standard
specifications. There should be no abnormal noise, vibration, or odor.
 Verify if the keypad displays normally. Check if there is any abnormality such as
overheating or color change. Prevent the drive from electronic shock and equipment

B.4 Optional Fan Kit

After you install the cooling fan to the VFD007EL21W(-1), you can increase the ambient
temperature of the operating environment up to 50°C without derating. If you choose not to install
the cooling fan, the ambient temperature of the operating environment is only up to 40°C without
derating. The power supply of the cooling fan is 24VDC. Internal power is applied from terminal +24V/
DCM. Once you install this cooling fan on the motor drive, do not connect any other external
accessory to avoid overload on terminal +24V which will damage the motor drive. Use only
terminals MI after your install the cooling fan.

Appendix C How to Select the Right AC Motor Drive
C.1 Capacity Formulas

C.2 General Precautions
C.3 How to Choose a Suitable Motor
The choice of the right AC motor drive for the application is very important and has a big influence on the drive’s
lifetime. If the capacity of the AC motor drive is too large, it cannot provide complete protection to the motor and
motor might be damaged. If the capacity of the AC motor drive is too small, it cannot provide the required
performance and the AC motor drive might be damaged due to overloading.
Simply selecting the AC motor drive with the same capacity as the motor cannot completely meet the application
requirements. Therefore, a designer should consider all the conditions, including load types, load speeds, load
characteristics, operation methods, rated output, rated speed, power and the change in load capacity. The
following table lists the factors you need to consider, depending on your requirements.

C.2 General Precautions

Selecting an AC Motor Drive
 When connecting the AC motor drive directly to a large-capacity power transformer (600 kVA or higher), or
when switching a phase lead capacitor, excess peak currents may occur in the power input circuit and may
damage the converter section. To avoid this, use an AC input reactor (optional) before the AC motor drive
mains input to reduce the current and improve the input power efficiency.
 When using a special motor or when driving more than one motor in parallel with a single AC motor drive,
select the AC motor drive current to be ≥ 1.25x (sum of the motor rated currents).
 The starting acceleration and deceleration characteristics of a motor are limited by the AC motor drive
rated current and the overload protection. Compared to running the motor D.O.L. (Direct On-Line), you can
expect a lower starting torque output with the AC motor drive. If a higher starting torque is required (such
as for elevators, mixers, tooling machines, etc.), use a higher capacity AC motor drive or increase the
capacities of both the motor and the AC motor drive.
 When a fault occurs on the drive, a protective circuit is activated and the AC motor drive output is turned off.
The motor coasts to stop. For an emergency stop, use an external mechanical brake to quickly stop the
motor.
Setting Parameters
 You can set the AC motor drive to an output frequency up to 400 Hz (less for some models) with the digital
keypad. Setting errors may create a dangerous situation. For safety, setting an upper limit frequency
function is strongly recommended.
 High DC brake operating voltages and long operation time (at low frequencies) may cause overheating of
the motor. In that case, forced external motor cooling is recommended.
 Motor acceleration and deceleration time is determined by motor rated torque, load torque, and load inertia.
 If you activate the stall prevention function, the acceleration and deceleration time is automatically
extended to a length that the AC motor drive can handle. If the motor must decelerate within a certain time
with a higher load inertia than the AC motor drive can handle in the required time, either use an external
brake resistor and/or a brake unit (depending on the model) to shorten deceleration time only, or increase
the capacity of both the motor and the AC motor drive.
C-4
C.3 How to Choose a Suitable Motor

Standard Motors
When using the AC motor drive to operate a standard three-phase induction motor, follow these
precautions.
 The energy loss is greater than that for an inverter-duty motor.
 Avoid running the motor at low speed for a long time. Under this condition, the motor temperature may rise
above the motor rating due to limited airflow produced by the motor’s fan. Consider adding external forced
motor cooling.
 When the standard motor operates at low speed for a long time, the output load must be decreased.
 The load tolerance of a standard motor is according to the following diagram.
Load duty-cycle

40% 60%

torque(%)

3 6 20 60
Frequency (Hz)
 If 100% of continuous torque is required at low speed, it may be necessary to use a special inverter-duty
motor.
 Motor dynamic balance and rotor endurance should be considered once the operating speed exceeds the
rated speed (60Hz) for a standard motor.
 Motor torque characteristics vary when driving the motor with an AC motor drive instead of a commercial
power supply. Check the load torque characteristics of the machine connected to the motor.
 Because of the high carrier frequency PWM control of the VFD series, pay attention to the following motor
vibration problems:
 Resonant mechanical vibration: use anti-vibration dampers to mount equipment that runs at varying speed.
 Motor imbalance: special care is required for operation at 60 Hz and higher frequencies.
 The motor fan is very noisy when the motor speed exceeds 60 Hz or above.
Special Motors
 Pole-changing (Dahlander) motor:
The rated current differs from that of a standard motor. Check before operation and carefully choose the
capacity of the AC motor drive. When changing the number of poles, stop the motor first. If over-current
occurs during operation or the regenerative voltage is too high, let the motor free run to stop (coast).
 Submersible motor:
The rated current is higher than that of a standard motor. Check before operation and carefully choose the
capacity of the AC motor drive. A long motor cable between the AC motor drive and the motor reduces the
available motor torque.
 Explosion-proof (Ex) motor:
Must be installed in a safe place and the wiring should comply with the (Ex) requirements. Delta AC Motor
Drives are not suitable for (Ex) areas that require special precautions.
 Gear reduction motor:
The lubricating method of the reduction gearbox and the speed range for continuous operation are different
and depend on the motor brand. Carefully consider the lubricating method when operating for a long time
at low speed and for high-speed operation.
 Synchronous motor:
The rated current and the starting current are higher than those of standard motors. Check before
C-5
operation and carefully choose the capacity of the AC motor drive. When one AC motor drive operates
more than one motors, pay attention to starting and changing the motor.
Power Transmission Mechanism

Pay attention to reduced lubrication when operating equipment such as gear reduction motors, gearboxes,
belts and chains over long periods at low speeds. At high speeds (60 Hz and above), noises and
vibrations that reduce the lifetime of the equipment may occur.
Motor Torque
The motor torque characteristics operated by an AC motor drive depend on the motor model selection and
AC motor drive parameter settings.
