Read this section first 1.1 Checking the purchase Make sure that the inverter delivered is exactly what you ordered. Warning Use an inverter which matches the input power rating of your three-phase induction motor. The use of an inverter unsuitable for your motor can cause it to rotate in a wrong direction, and thus lead to grave accidents, including its burning due to overheating.

1.4 Notes on the application of inverters 1.4.1 Notes on motors combined with inverters Keep in mind the following notes when using the VF-A7 in combination with a motor. Warning Use an inverter which matches the input power rating of your three-phase induction motor. The use of an inverter unsuitable for your motor can cause it to rotate in a wrong direction, and thus lead to serious accidents, including its burning due to overheating.

A load, e.g., a reciprocating load, which requires a frequent change in the rotating speed In this case, if the inverter is in vector control mode, adjust the response time (setting of moment of inertia) or switch to V/f control mode to stabilize the operation. If it is operated in vector control mode, only a motor whose capacity is same as inverter standard or 1 rank lower is applied. If it is operated in V/F (other than vector control), the rotating of motor can be unstable in combination w

1.4.2 Notes on inverters Over-current protective function The inverter has an over-current protective function. The current for this protection is adjusted to the maximum current rating of the applicable motors by default. Therefore, when the inverter is used to control a motor with a relatively small capacity, it is necessary to readjust the over-current protection level and the electronic thermal protective function. In such a case, follow the procedure specified in 5.13 to readjust them.

1.4.3 Influences of leakage currents and measures against it Warning An electric current can leak through an input or output cable of the inverter because of its insufficient capacitance and, sometimes, affects the peripheral systems. The amount of a leakage current depends on the carrier frequency, the length of the input/output cable, etc. It is advisable to take the following measures to prevent leakage currents. (1) Influences of a current leaking into other systems via the g
