PUrPOseOf aC Drives
AC drives are generally known by many different names: Adjustable Frequency Drives (AFD),
Variable Frequency Drives (VFD), and Inverters. Drives are used primarily to vary the speed of
three phase AC induction motors, and they also provide non-emergency start and stop control,
acceleration and deceleration, and overload protection. By gradually accelerating the motor,
drives can reduce the amount of motor startup inrush current.
AC drives function by converting incoming AC power to DC, which is then synthesized back into
three phase output power. The voltage and frequency of this synthesized output power is directly
varied by the drive, where the frequency determines the speed of the three phase AC induction
motor.
seleCtingthe PrOPer Drive rating
deterMine MOtOr full-lOad aMPerage (fla)
Motor FLA is located on the nameplate of the motor.
NOTE: FLA of motors that have been rewound may be higher than stated.
deterMine MOtOr OverlOad requireMents
Many applications experience temporary overload conditions due to starting requirements or
impact loading. Most AC drives are designed to operate at 150% overload for 60 seconds. If the
application requires an overload greater than 150% or longer than 60 seconds, the AC drive must
be oversized.
NOTE: Applications that require replacement of existing motor starters with AC drives may require
up to 600% overload.
This torque requirement has a direct effect on which drive to select. Variable Torque applications
are generally easier to start; typically fans and pumps. Most other applications outside fans and
pumps fall into the Constant Torque category (machine control, conveyors, etc.). If you are unsure
of the application, assume Constant Torque. The specification, derating, and selection tables are
generally segregated by Constant Torque and Variable Torque.

selectingthe PrOPer drive rating (cOntinued)
installatiOn altitude
AC drives rely on air flow for cooling. As the altitude increases, the air becomes less dense, and
this drop in air density decreases the cooling properties of the air. Therefore, the AC drive must be
oversized to compensate for the decrease in cooling. Most AC drives are designed to operate at
100% capacity at altitudes up to 1000 meters.
NOTE: For use above 1000m, the AC drive must be derated as described below.

Ambient Temperature (°C)
selectingthe PrOPer drive rating (cOntinued)
deterMine MaxiMuM enclOsure internal teMPerature
AC drives generate a significant amount of heat and will cause the internal temperature of an
enclosure to exceed the rating of the AC drive, even when the ambient temperature is less than
104°F (40°C). Enclosure ventilation and/or cooling may be required to maintain a maximum
internal temperature of 104°F (40°C) or less. Ambient temperature measurements/calculations
should be made for the maximum expected temperature. When permissible, flange mounting the
AC drive (mounting with the drive heatsink in open ambient air) can greatly reduce heating in the
enclosure.
For use above 104°F (40°C), the AC drive must be derated as described below.

derate OutPut current basedOn carrier frequency (ifnecessary)
carrier frequency effects
AC Drives rectify the incoming 50 or 60Hz line power resulting in DC power at 0Hz. The resulting
DC power is then pulse-width modulated and supplied to the motor by the drive’s power
electronics. IGBTs invert the DC power, simulating a sine wave at the desired frequency (that’s
what allows variable speed in AC induction motors). The speed at which the IGBTs are turned ON
and OFF is called Carrier Frequency. In AC drives, the Carrier Frequency can range from 2kHz to
15kHz. The Carrier Frequency can be adjusted in most AC Drives.
There are trade-offs between choosing High Carrier Frequencies and Low Carrier Frequencies.
benefitsOf higher carrier frequencies:
•
Better efficiency (lower harmonic losses) in the motor
•
Lower audible noise
benefitsOf lOwer carrier frequencies:
•
Better efficiency in the drive
•
Lower EMI (electrical noise)
•
Reduced reflective wave peak voltage
As a general rule, the Carrier Frequency should be set as low as possible without creating
unacceptable audible noise in the motor. Smaller systems can have higher Carrier Frequencies,
but larger drives (>20 or 30hp) should not have Carrier Frequencies set higher than 6kHz. Heavy
Duty applications typically run around 2~4kHz.

efficiency class
The EU Ecodesign regulation directive establishes a framework to set mandatory ecological
requirements for energy-using and energy-related products. The IEC 61800-9-2 standard defines
the efficiency classes for AC drives. The efficiency classes range (low to high) from IE0 to IE2. These
classes apply to AC drives rated 100 to 1000 V and 0.12 to 1000 kW (1/6 to 1,340 HP).
Drive manufacturers must declare power losses in terms of percentage of rated apparent output
power at eight different operating points, as well as standby losses. The International Efficiency
(IE) level is given at the nominal point.
The power losses of GS4 drives shall not exceed the maximum power losses corresponding to
the IE2 efficiency level. For specific power losses of each drive model, see the drive specification
tables.

produced by the drive and any other included electrical and electronic equipment. Ventilation or
air conditioning may also be required, depending upon the application.
Improper installation of the AC drive will greatly reduce its life. Observe the following precautions
when installing the drive:
•
Do not mount the AC drive near heat-radiating elements or in direct sunlight�
•
Do not install the AC drive in a place subjected to high temperature, high humidity, excessive
vibration, corrosive gases or liquids, or airborne dust or metallic particles�
•
Install the AC drive in Pollution Degree 2 environments only�

warning: iFthepowerdistributionsystemsupplyingthe gs4 driveissinglephase, the rFi jumper
oranasymmetric-groundsystem (tn), the rFi jumper must be removed.
If the power distribution system supplying the GS4 drive is a floating ground system (IT) or an
asymmetric ground system (TN), the RFI jumper must be removed. Removing the RFI jumper
disconnects the internal RFI filter capacitor between the drive’s frame and circuits to avoid
damaging those circuits and to reduce ground leakage current.
Important points regarding ground connection
•
To ensure the safety of personnel, proper operation, and to reduce electromagnetic radiation, the
GS4 drive must be properly grounded during installation�
•
The diameter of the cables must meet the size specified by applicable codes and regulations�
•
The grounding cable must be connected to the ground of the GS4 drive to meet safety
regulations�
•
The grounding cable can be used as the ground for equipment only when the aforementioned
points are met�
•
When installing multiple GS4 drives, do not connect the grounds of the AC motor drive in
series� Instead, utilize a single-point grounding scheme (as shown below), or provide individual
grounding rods for each GS4 drive�
Best wiring setup for ground wires
Pay particular attention to the following WARNINGS:
The RFI jumper must be removed in the following four situations. This is to prevent the system
from grounding through the RFI capacitor, damaging the GS4 drive.
RFI Jumper Must Be Removed (Asymmetric Ground / Corner Grounded TN Systems)
1) Grounding at a Corner of a Triangle Configuration2) Grounding at a Midpoint in a Polygonal Configuration
3) Grounding at One End in a Single-Phase
Configuration
4) No Stable Neutral Grounding in a Three-Phase
Autotransformer Configuration
The RFI jumper should be left in place for a symmetrically grounded system.
RFI Jumper Left In Place (Symmetrical Ground System)
Internal grounding through internal RFI filter, which reduces
electromagnetic radiation.
In a situation with higher requirements for electromagnetic
compatibility, and using a symmetrical grounding power system,
an EMC filter can be installed.
As a reference, the diagram on the right is a
symmetrical grounding power system.

wiring notes: Please read Prior to installation.
1) During installation, follow all local electrical, construction, and safety codes for the country in
which the AC drive is to be installed.
2) Refer to the “DURApUlse GS4 AC Drive Specifications” in chapter 1 for voltage and current
requirements.
3) Torque the screws of the main circuit terminals to prevent loosening due to vibration.
4) The addition of a magnetic contactor (MC) in the AC line power input wiring is recommended to
turn off power quickly and reduce the possibility of malfunction if the protection function of the
GS4 AC drive is activated.
5) Do not use a power circuit contactor or disconnect switch for normal run/stop control of the GS4
AC drive and motor. This will reduce the operating life cycle of the AC drive. Cycling a power
circuit switching device while the AC drive is in run mode should be done only in emergency
situations.
6) Make sure the appropriate protective devices (circuit breaker or fuses) are connected between
the power supply and AC drive.
7) Make sure that the leads are connected correctly and that the GS4 AC drive is properly grounded.
(Ground resistance should not exceed 0.1Ω.)
8) Use ground leads that comply with AWG/MCM standards and keep them as short as possible.
9) Multiple GS4 AC drives can be installed in one location. All of the units should be grounded
directly to a common ground terminal. The GS4 AC drive ground terminals may also be
connected in parallel, as shown in the figure below.
Make sure there are no ground loops.
Chapter 2: Installation and Wiring
CorrectIncorrect
10) When the GS4 AC drive output terminals T1, T2, and T3 are connected to the motor terminals T1,
T2, and T3, respectively, the motor will rotate counterclockwise (as viewed from the shaft end of
the motor) when a forward operation command is received. To reverse the direction of motor
rotation, switch the connections of any of the two motor leads.
11) Make sure that the power source is capable of supplying the correct voltage and required current
to the GS4 AC drive.
12) Do not attach or remove wiring when power is applied to the GS4 AC drive.
13) Do not inspect components unless inside “POWER” lamp is turned off.
14) Do not monitor the signals on the circuit board while the GS4 AC drive is in operation.
15) GS4 series AC drives cannot be used with single-phase motors.

16) Route the power and control wires separately, or at 90 degree angle to each other.
17) Ground both ends of the shield wire or conduit for the power wiring.
a) If using a “VFD cable,” follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for grounding the cable
shield.
b) If using conduit, bond and ground conduit according to applicable electrical codes.
18) If a filter is required for reducing EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference), install it as close as possible
to the GS4 AC drive. EMI can also be reduced by lowering the Carrier Frequency.
Please refer to the “Applied EMI/RFI Techniques” white paper at support.automationdirect.com.
19) If the GS4 AC drive is installed in a place where a load reactor is needed, install the reactor
close to the T1, T2, and T3 side of GS4 AC drive. Do not use a Capacitor, L-C Filter (InductanceCapacitance), or R-C Filter (Resistance-Capacitance).
20) When using a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt), select current sensor with sensitivity of
200mA or higher, and not less than 0.1-second operation time to avoid nuisance tripping.

Motor oPeration Precautions
1) When using the GS4 AC drive to operate a standard 3-phase induction motor, notice that the
energy loss is greater than for an inverter duty motor.
2) Avoid running a standard induction motor at low speed, which may cause the motor
temperature to exceed the motor rating due to limited airflow produced by the motor’s fan.
3) When the standard motor operates at low speed, the output load must be decreased.
4) If 100% output torque is desired at low speed, it may be necessary to use a special
“inverter-duty” rated motor.

The Quick Start function allows the user to set typically used parameters for quick drive startup
and motor protection.
For basic applications, it may only be necessary to enter parameters into the “Basic Configuration”
Menu. The “Basic” menu contains Motor definition/protection information and a bare minimum
set of parameters that will need to be set. “Control I/O” allows for customization of the most
common I/O settings, and each subsequent menu configures additional features and allows more
customization of the drive.
If the GS4 drive has been previously configured, it is advisable to restore the default settings (by
using parameter P9.08) before reconfiguring the drive.
