2) Grounding capacitor switch

Single-phase 240V model and three-phase 500V model have a built-in high-attenuation noise filter and
is grounded via a capacitor.
A switch makes for easy switching to reduce leakage current from the inverter and the load on the
capacitor. However, be careful, as reducing the load means non-conformity with the EMC standard on
the inverter itself. Always do switching with the power off.

1 Note) In case of three phase 500V-4.0kW model, if you disconnect the capacitor from ground, set the
parameter of carrier frequency f300 to 4kHz or less with motor cable length 30m or less.
In case of three phase 500V-4.0kW model, don’t disconnect the capacitor from the ground, if you
set the overload characteristic selection aulto 2.

Pressing this switches the grounding capacitor's capacity from small

to large. (Default setting)

Pulling this switches the grounding capacitor's capacity from large to

small. This reduces the leakage current.
When this inverter is connected to the IT system (insulated ground of
power supply or the system has Impedance), the switch has to be
pulled as the figure shows.

Motors with a brake

When motors with a brake are directly connected to the inverter's output, the brake cannot be released
at startup because of low voltage. Wire the brake circuit separately from the main circuit.

Circuit diagram 1

In circuit diagram 1, the brake is turned on and off through MC2 and MC3. If you do not wire it as shown
in diagram 1, an over-current trip may occur because of a bound current during brake operation.
(Example of standby ST assigned to terminal S2.)
In circuit diagram 2, the brake is turned on and off by using low-speed signal RY-RC.
In some situations, such as with elevators, turning the brake on and off with a low-speed signal may be
appropriate. Be sure to contact us before designing your system.

Measures to protect motors against surge voltages

In a system in which a 500V-class inverter is used to control the operation of a motor, very high surge
voltages may be produced. When applied to the motor coils repeatedly for a long time, may cause
deterioration of their insulation, depending on the cable length, cable routing and types of cables used.
Here are some examples of measures against surge voltages.
(1) Lower the inverter’s carrier frequency.
(2) Set the parameter f316 (Carrier frequency control mode selection) to 2 or 3.
(3) Use a motor with high insulation strength.
(4) Insert an AC reactor or a surge voltage suppression filter between the inverter and the motor.

1 Leakage current path across wires

(1) Thermal relays

The high frequency component of current leaking into electrostatic capacity between inverter out-
put wires will increase the effective current values and make externally connected thermal relays
operate improperly. If the wires are more than 50 meters long, it will be easy for the external
thermal relay to operate improperly with models having motors of low rated current (several
A(ampere) or less), because the leakage current will increase in proportion to the motor rating.

Remedies:
1. Use the electronic thermal built into the inverter. (Refer to section 5.6)
The setting of the electronic thermal is done using parameter , .
2. Reduce the inverter's PWM carrier frequency. However, that will increase the motor's magnetic
noise.
The setting of PWM carrier frequency is done with the parameter . (Refer to section 6.18)
3. This can be improved by installing 0.1μ to 0.5μF - 1000V film capacitor to the input/output terminals
of each phase in the thermal relay.

Thermal relays

(2) CT and ammeter

If a CT and ammeter are connected externally to detect inverter output current, the leak current's high
frequency component may destroy the ammeter. If the wires are more than 50 meters long, it will be
easy for the high frequency component to pass through the externally connected CT and be
superimposed on and burn the ammeter with models having motors of low rated current (several A
(ampere) or less), especially the 500V class low capacity (4.0kW or less) models, because the leakage
current will increase in proportion to the motor's rated current.
Be sure to set the inverter's PWM carrier frequency to 5 kHz or less. However, that will increase the

The space shown in the diagram is the minimum allowable space. Because air cooled equipment has cooling
fans built in on the top or bottom surfaces, make the space on top and bottom as large as possible to allow
for air passage.
Note: Do not install in any location where there is high humidity or high temperatures and where there are
large amounts of dust, metallic fragments and oil mist.

1  Calorific values of the inverter and the required ventilation

About 5% of the rated power of the inverter will be lost as a result of conversion from AC to DC or from DC to
AC. In order to suppress the rise in temperature inside the cabinet when this loss becomes heat loss, the
interior of the cabinet must be ventilated and cooled.

The amount of forcible air-cooling ventilation required and the necessary heat discharge surface quantity
when operating in a sealed cabinet according to motor capacity are as follows.

Warning
 Ground must be connected securely.
If the ground is not securely connected, it could lead to electric shock or fire.

Be Grounded

Caution
 Do not attach devices with built-in capacitors (such as noise filters or surge absorber) to the output
(motor side) terminal.
2 Prohibited
This could cause a fire.

 Preventing radio noise

To prevent electrical interference such as radio noise, separately bundle wires to the main circuit's power
terminals (3-phase models: R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, single-phase models: R/L1, S/L2/N) and wires to the motor
terminals (U/T1, V/T2, W/T3).

 Control and main power supply

The control power supply and the main circuit power supply for this inverter are the same.
If a malfunction or trip causes the main circuit to be shut off, control power will also be shut off. When
checking the cause of the malfunction or the trip, use the trip holding retention selection parameter.
In addition, please use an optional control power supply backup unit when only control power supply
operates, even if the main circuit is shut off due to trouble or tripping.

 Wiring
• Because the space between the main circuit terminals is small, use sleeved crimp-style terminals for the
connections. Connect the terminals so that adjacent terminals do not touch each other.
• For grounding terminal use wires of the size that is equivalent to or larger than those given in table
10.1 and always ground the inverter (240V voltage class: D type ground, 500V voltage class: C type
ground).
Use as large and short a grounding wire as possible and wire it as close as possible to the inverter.
• For the sizes of electric wires used in the main circuit, refer to the table in section 10.1.
• The length of each wire does not exceed 30 meters. If the wire is longer than 30 meters, the wire size
(diameter) must be increased.

6.18 PWM carrier frequency

aul : Overload characteristic selection
f300 : PWM carrier frequency
f312 : Random mode
f316 : PWM carrier frequency control mode selection

 Function
1) With the  parameter, the tone of the magnetic noise from the motor can be changed by switching
6 the PWM carrier frequency. This parameter is also effective in preventing the motor from resonating with
its load machine or its fan cover.
2) In addition, the  parameter reduces the electromagnetic noise generated by the inverter. Reduce
the carrier frequency to reduce electromagnetic noise. Note: The electromagnetic noise level is reduced,
but the acoustic noise of the motor is increased.
3) The random mode improves hearing impression by changing the pattern of the low carrier frequency.
4) To set the parameter f316 to 2 or 3 has the effect of suppressing voltage serge to the motor.
Reduce the carrier frequency to 4kHz or less if the wiring between the inverter and motor is long (20 to
100m as a guide).

* In case of =2 setting, be sure to install the input AC reactor (ACL) between power supply and inverter
and use at ambient temperature 40°C or less. Set f300 to 4.0 kHz or less.
* If parameter f316=0 or 2 and current is increased to main module overheat level (ol3) or to overheat
level (oh), the l alarm or h alarm occurs. If the cumulative amount of overload is increased further, ol3
trip or oh trip occurs.
In this case, to avoid such trips, reduce the stall prevention level (f601) properly.
* If parameter f316= 2 or 3, setting parameter f300 to 4.0kHz or less is recommended. Output voltage
may be reduced.
* PWM carrier frequency is increased at high output frequency area for stable operation, even if f300 is set
to low PWM carrier frequency.
* In case of three phase 500V-4.0kW model with aul= 2 setting, be sure to press the grounding capacitor

 Function
The inverter does not contain a braking resistor. Connect an external braking resistor in the following
cases to enable dynamic braking function:
1) when decelerating the motor abruptly or if overvoltage tripping (op) occurs during deceleration
stop
2) when a continuous regenerative status occurs during downward movement of a lift or the winding-
out operation of a tension control machine
3) when the load fluctuates and results in a continuous regenerative status even during constant
speed operation of a machine such as a press

Note 1) The operation level of dynamic braking is defined by parameter f626.
Note 2) In case of parameter f304=1 to 4, the inverter will be automatically set as “without overvoltage
limit operation” and controlled so that the resistor consumes the regenerative energy from the motor.

inverter.
Note 2: As a last resort to prevent fire, be sure to connect a thermal relay (THR). Although the inverter has a
means of preventing overload and overcurrent to protect the braking resistor, the thermal relay is
activated in case the protection function fails to work. Select and connect a thermal relay (THR)
appropriately to the capacity (wattage) of the braking resistor.

● To use this inverter in applications that create a continuously regenerative status (such as downward
movement of a lift, a press or a tension control machine), or in applications that require deceleration
stopping of a machine with a significant load inertial moment, increase the dynamic braking resistor
capacity according to the operation rate required.
● To connect an external dynamic braking resistor, select one with a resultant resistance value greater than
the minimum allowable resistance value. Be sure to set the appropriate operation rate in f308 and
f309 to ensure overload protection.
● When using a braking resistor with no thermal fuse, connect and use a thermal relay as a control circuit for
cutting the power off.

6.19.5 Avoiding overvoltage tripping

f305 : Overvoltage limit operation
f319 : Regenerative over-excitation upper limit
f626 : Overvoltage stall protection level

 Function
These parameters are used to keep the output frequency constant or increase it to prevent

● If f305 is set to 2 (quick deceleration control), the inverter will increase the voltage to the motor (over-
excitation control) to increase the amount of energy consumed by the motor when the voltage reaches the
overvoltage protection level during deceleration, and therefore the motor can be decelerated more quickly
than normal deceleration.
● If f305 is set to 3 (dynamic quick deceleration control), the inverter will increase the voltage to the
motor (over-excitation control) to increase the amount of energy consumed by the motor as soon as the
motor begins to deceleration, and therefore the motor can be decelerated still more quickly than quick
deceleration.
● During overvoltage limit operation, the overvoltage pre-alarm (p blinks) is displayed.
● The parameter f319 is used to adjust the maximum energy that the motor consumes during
deceleration. Specify a larger value if the inverter trips during deceleration because of an overvoltage.
When f305 is set 2 or 3, this function works.
● Parameter f626 serves also as a parameter for setting the regenerative braking level.

6.19.6 Output voltage adjustment/Supply voltage correction

 Function
Supply voltage correction: Prevent torque decline during low-speed operation.
Maintains a constant V/F ratio, even when the input voltage fluctuates.
Output voltage limitation: Limits the voltage at frequencies exceeding the base frequency (vl) to
prevent outputting the voltage exceeding base frequency voltage (vlv).
Applied when operating a special motor with low induced voltage.

● If f307 is set to "0" or "2", the output voltage will change in proportion to the input voltage.
● Even if the base frequency voltage (vlv parameter ) is set above the input voltage, the output voltage
will not exceed the input voltage.
● The ratio of voltage to frequency can be adjusted according to the rated motor voltage and frequency.
Setting f307 to "0" or "1" prevents the output voltage from increasing, even if the input voltage
changes when operation frequency exceeds the base frequency.
● When the V/F control mode selection parameter () is set to any number between 2 to 6, the supply
voltage is corrected regardless of the setting of f307.

The recommended molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) must be connected to primary side of each inverter to
protect the wiring system. 10
Note 1: Selections for use the Toshiba 4-pole standard motor with power supply voltage of 200V/ 400 - 50Hz.
Note 2: Be sure to attach a surge absorber to the exciting coil of the relay and the magnetic contactor.
Note 3: When using the auxiliary contacts 2a of the magnetic contactor MC for the control circuit, connect the
contacts 2a in parallel to increase reliability.
Note 4: When a motor is driven by commercial power supply using commercial power supply / inverter switching
circuit, use a magnetic contactor appropriated AC-3 class the motor rated current.
Note 5: Select an MCCB with a current breaking rating appropriate to the capacity of the power supply, because
short-circuit currents vary greatly depending on the capacity of the power supply and the condition of the
wiring system. The MCCB, MC and ELCB in this table were selected, on the assumption that a power
supply with a normal capacity would be used.
Note 6: For the operation and control circuits, regulate the voltage at 200V to 240V with a step-down transformer
for 500V class.
Note 7: In case of aul=2 setting, be sure to select the wiring device for 1 rating up motor.
Note 8: Regarding influence of leakage current, refer to section 1.4.3.

Note 1. Capacity is calculated at 220V for the 240V models, at 440V for the 500V models.
Note 2. Indicates rated output current setting when the PWM carrier frequency (parameter f300) is 4kHz or less. When
exceeding 4kHz, the rated output current setting is indicated in the parentheses. It needs to be further reduced for
PWM carrier frequencies above 12 kHz.
The rated output current is reduced even further for 500V models with a supply voltage of 480V or more.
The default setting of the PWM carrier frequency is 12kHz.
Note 3. Maximum output voltage is the same as the input voltage.
Note 4. At 180V-264V for the 240V models, at 342V-550V for the 500V models when the inverter is used continuously (load of
100%).

 Check items
1. Check to see if all screwed terminals are tightened firmly. If any screw is found loose, tighten it again
with a screwdriver.
2. Check to see if all caulked terminals are fixed properly. Check them visually to see that there is no trace
of overheating around any of them.
3. Check all cables and wires for damage. Check them visually.
4. Remove dirt and dust. With a vacuum cleaner, remove dirt and dust. When cleaning, clean the vents
and the printed circuit boards. Always keep them clean to prevent an accident due to dirt or dust.
5. If no power is supplied to the inverter for a long time, the performance of its large-capacity electrolytic
capacitor declines.
When leaving the inverter unused for a long time, supply it with electricity once every two years, for 5
hours or more each, to recover the performance of the large-capacity electrolytic capacitor. And also
check the function of the inverter. It is advisable not to supply the commercial power directly to the
inverter but to gradually increase the power supply voltage with a transformer, etc.
6. If the need arises, conduct an insulation resistance test on the main circuit terminal block only, using a
500V insulation resistance tester. Never conduct an insulation resistance test on control terminals other
than terminals on the printed circuit board or on control terminals. When testing the motor for insulation
resistance, separate it from the inverter in advance by disconnecting the cables from the inverter output
terminals U/T1, V/T2 and W/T3. When conducting an insulation resistance test on peripheral circuits
other than the motor circuit, disconnect all cables from the inverter so that no voltage is applied to the
inverter during the test.
Standard: Several MΩ or more. (Built-in noise filter cause to detect low insulation resistance.)

(Note) Before an insulation resistance test, always disconnect all cables from the main circuit terminal block
and test the inverter separately from other equipment.

7. Never test the inverter for dielectric strength. A dielectric test may cause damage to its components.
8. Voltage and temperature check
Recommended voltmeter : Input side ... Moving-iron type voltmeter ( )

Output side ... Rectifier type voltmeter ( )

It will be very helpful for detecting a defect if you always measure and record the ambient temperature 14
before, during and after the operation.
