not rotating. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: Dynamic brake resistors may generate enough heat to ignite combustible materials. Keep all
combustible materials and flammable vapors away from brake resistors.
Introduction 1-1MN765
WARNING: The motor shaft will rotate during the autotune procedure. Be certain that unexpected motor shaft
movement will not cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
WARNING: MEDICAL DEVICE/PACEMAKER DANGER - Magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the vicinity
of current carrying conductors and industrial motors can result in a serious health hazard to
persons with cardiac pacemakers, internal cardiac defibrillators, neurostimulators, metal implants, cochlear implants, hearing aids, and other medical devices. To avoid risk, stay away
from the area surrounding a motor and its current carrying conductors.
CAUTION: Disconnect motor leads (T1, T2 and T3) from control before you perform a dielectric withstand
(insulation) test on the motor. Failure to disconnect motor from the control will result in extensive
damage to the control. The control is tested at the factory for high voltage/leakage resistance as
part of the Underwriters Laboratory requirements.
CAUTION: Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than the RMS symmetrical short circuit
amperes listed here at rated voltage.
Horsepower RMS Symmetrical Amperes
1-50 5,000
51-200 10,000
201-400 18,000
401-600 30,000
601-900 42,000
CAUTION: Do not connect AC power to the Motor terminals T1, T2 and T3. Connecting AC power to these
terminals may result in damage to the control.
CAUTION: Baldor does not recommend using “Grounded Leg Delta” transformer supplies that may create
ground loops. Instead, we recommend using a four wire Wye.
CAUTION: Do not supply any power to the External Trip (motor thermostat) leads at TH1 and TH2. Power on
these leads can damage the control. Use a dry contact type that requires no external power to
operate.
CAUTION: If a customer installed Dynamic Brake (DB) hardware mounting is in any position other than
vertical, the DB hardware must be derated by 35% of its rated capacity.
CAUTION: Before external Dynamic Brake Hardware is added, the internal resistor must be disconnected
(frames AA, B, C and D only). Remove the resistor from the B+/R1 and R2 terminals and insulate
the leads to avoid accidental connection to drive circuity. The external resistor can be connected
across these terminals. Failure to remove the internal resistor will decrease the total resistance
(parallel connection) and cause damage.
CAUTION: Do not set Level 2, Drive Configure, Power Input parameter to Common Bus if AC power
is connected to L1, L2 or L3. Common Bus requires numerous changes. Contact Baldor for
information.
CAUTION: Only Baldor cables should be used to connect the keypad and control. These are special twisted
pair cables to protect the control and keypad. Damage associated with other cable types are not
covered by the Baldor warranty.
CAUTION: If an M-Contactor is installed, the control must be disabled for at least 200msec before the
M-Contactor is opened. If the M-Contactor is opened while the control is supplying voltage and
current to the motor, the control may be damaged. Before the control is enabled, the M-Contactor
must be closed for at least 200msec.
CAUTION: Use of power correction capacitors on the output of the drive can result in erratic operation
of the motor, nuisance tripping, and/or permanent damage to the drive. Remove power correction capacitors before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
CAUTION: Do not connect any shields to the encoder case or motor frame. The encoder +5/12VDC supply
at pins 8 and 9 of the encoder board is referenced to circuit board common. Do not connect any
shields to ground or another power supply or damage to the control may result.
CAUTION: Motor thermostat leads must be routed in a separate conduit than the motor power leads. Failure
to isolate these connections may cause nuisance trips, misoperation or component failure.

1.3 Quick Start
Quick Start Guide MS765 is also available separately from www.baldor.com.
If you are an experienced user of Baldor controls, you are probably already familiar with the keypad programming and
keypad operation methods. If so, this quick start guide has been prepared for you. This procedure will help get your system
up and running in the keypad mode quickly and allows motor and control operation to be veried. This procedure assumes
that the Control, Motor and Dynamic Brake hardware are correctly installed (see Chapters 3, 4, and 5 for procedures)
and that you have an understanding of the keypad programming and operation procedures. Figure 1-1 shows minimum
connection requirements. It is not necessary to wire the terminal strip to operate in Keypad mode (Chapter 5 describes
terminal strip wiring procedures).
The quick start procedure is as follows:
1. Read the Safety Notice and Precautions in this Chapter.
2. Mount the control. Refer to Chapters 3, 4, and 5 “Physical Location” procedure.
3. Connect AC power ensuring source voltage matches drive voltage (Figure 1-1). See wire and fuse size guidelines in
Chapter 4. Torque connections per Table A-2.
4. Connect the motor ensuring motor is wired for same voltage as drive (Figure 1-1). Torque connections per Table A-2. Do
not couple the motor shaft to the load until auto tune is complete.
5. Install Dynamic brake hardware, if required. Refer to Chapter 4 “Optional Dynamic Brake Hardware.”
6. Connect motor thermostat leads to TH1 and TH2 after removing factory supplied jumper. Be sure to route these leads in
a separate conduit from the motor power leads.
CAUTION: After completing the installation but before you apply power, be sure to check the following
electrical items:
1. Verify AC line voltage at source matches control rating.
2. Inspect all power connections for accuracy, workmanship and torques as well as compliance to codes.
3. Verify control and motor are grounded to each other and the control is connected to earth ground.
4. Check all signal wiring for accuracy.
5. Be certain all brake coils, contactors and relay coils have noise suppression. This should be an R-C lter for AC coils and
reverse polarity diodes for DC coils. MOV type transient suppression is not adequate.
CAUTION: Make sure that unexpected operation of the motor shaft during start up will not cause injury to
personnel or damage to equipment.
Procedure - Initial Conditions
Be sure the Control, Motor and Dynamic Brake hardware are wired according to the procedures described in Chapters 4
and 5 of this manual. Become familiar with the keypad programming and keypad operation of the control as described in
Chapter 6 of this manual.
1. Remove all power from the control.
2. Verify that any enable inputs to J2-8 are open (remove factory jumper from J2-8 to J3-24).
3. Uncouple the motor from the load (including coupling or inertia wheels).
4. Turn power on. Be sure there are no faults displayed. If a fault is indicated, refer to Chapter 9 “Troubleshooting”.
5. Select “Advanced Prog”, “Level 2 Blocks”, “Drive Cong” and set the parameter “Factory Settings” to “Yes”. This will
change all parameters to Factory Default.
6. Set the Level 2 Drive Limits block, “OPERATING ZONE” parameter as desired.
(STD CONST TQ, STD VAR TQ, QUIET CONST TQ or QUIET VAR TQ).
7. If external dynamic brake hardware is used, set the Level 2 Brake Adjust block “Resistor Ohms” and “Resistor Watts”
parameters (see parameter description in Chapter 7 for more information).
8. Enable the control (J2-8 connect to J3-24).
CAUTION: The motor shaft will rotate during this procedure. Be certain that unexpected motor shaft
movement will not cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
9. Select Basic Params from the main keypad menu. Perform each step including motor data and “Calc Motor Model”.
10. For applications with encoder or resolver feedback, select “Advanced Prog”, “Level 2 Blocks”, “Auto Tune” and execute
“Feedback Test”. This will cause motor rotation to verify proper encoder or resolver feedback connections. For more
advanced tuning of the uncoupled motor to the drive, see the Autotune parameters in Level 2 programming.
11. Remove all power from the control.
12. Couple the motor to its load.
13. Verify freedom of motion of motor shaft.
14. Verify the motor coupling is tight without backlash.
15. Verify the holding brakes, if any, are properly adjusted to fully release and set to the desired torque value.
16. Turn power on. Be sure no errors or faults are displayed.
17. Run the drive from the keypad using one of the following: the arrow keys for direct speed control, a keypad entered
speed or the JOG mode.
18. Select and program additional parameters to suit your application.
The control is now ready for use in the keypad mode. If a different operating mode is desired, refer to Chapter 5 Operating
Modes and Chapter 6 and 7 for Programming and Operation.

General Information
The VS1GV control uses ux vector technology. Flux vector technology (sometimes referred to as Field Oriented Control) is
a closed loop control scheme that uses an algorithm to adjust the frequency and phase of voltage and current applied to a
three phase induction motor.
The control’s rated output power is based on the use of a NEMA design B four pole motor and 60Hz operation at nominal
rated input voltage. If any other type of motor is used, the control should be sized to the motor using the rated current of
the motor. The control may be used in various applications. It may be programmed by the user to operate in four different
operating zones: standard or quiet and constant torque or variable torque. It can also be congured to operate in a number
of modes depending upon the application requirements and user preference. It is the responsibility of the user to determine
the optimum operating zone and mode to interface the control to the application. These choices are made with the keypad
as explained in Chapter 6 of this manual.

Installing the Drive
This chapter provides information that must be considered when planning a VS1GV drive installation and provides drive
mounting information and installation site requirements.
3.1 Receiving & Inspection
When you receive your control, there are several things you should do immediately.
1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that
delivered your control.
2. Remove the control from the shipping container and remove all packing materials from the control. The container and
packing materials may be retained for future shipment.
3. Verify that the catalog number of the control you received is the same as the catalog number listed on your purchase
order.
4. Inspect the control for external physical damage that may have been sustained during shipment and report any damage
immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your control.
5. If the control is to be stored for several weeks before use, make sure that it is stored in a location that conforms to
published storage humidity and temperature specications stated in this manual.
3.2 General Requirements for the Installation Site
It is important to ensure that the drive’s environment and operating conditions are satisfactory. The area behind the drive
must be kept clear of all control and power wiring. Power connections may create electromagnetic elds that may interfere
with control wiring or components when run in close proximity to the drive.
Read the recommendations in the following sections before continuing with the drive installation.
3.2.1 Location Instructions
Before deciding on an installation site, consider the following guidelines:
• Protect the cooling fan by avoiding dust or metallic particles.
• Do not expose the drive to a corrosive atmosphere.
• Protect the drive from moisture and direct sunlight.
• Verify that the drive location will meet the environmental conditions specied in Table 3-1.

3.3 Mounting the Drive
Mount the drive upright on a at, vertical surface. Avoid mounting the drive in locations that would subject the drive to
vibration in excess of the 0.5G RMS rating (e.g. adjacent to a large punch press).
3.3.1 Protecting the Drive from Debris
Drives suppled in NEMA 1 enclosures must be protected from debris falling through the drive vents during installation and
operation. The drive is designed to operate in NEMA1 Type installations. The atmosphere must not contain airborne particles
that can collect on the internal circuitry of the drive, especially conductive particles. Drives supplied in NEMA 4X enclosures
are designed for harsh environments including dust and water. NEMA 1 and NEMA 4X drives are for indoor use only.
Note: F-Frame Size drives are supplied with door mounted lters that are replaceable. The replacement lter part number
is available on a label next to the lter on the inside of the door. If the user desires, these lters can also be cleaned
by blowing or vacuuming out any collected debris as long as the lter media remains intact. See section 12.2 for
instructions for optionally setting the drive’s real time clock to provide an alert message or output at regular cleaning
intervals.

Power Wiring
4.1 Grounding the Drive
Baldor does not recommend using “Grounded Leg Delta” transformer power leads that may create ground loops. Instead
we recommend using a four wire Wye. Baldor drives are designed to be powered from standard three phase lines that are
electrically symmetrical with respect to ground. System grounding is an important step in the overall installation to prevent
problems. The recommended grounding method is shown in Figure 4-1.

Local codes.
4.1.1 Ungrounded Distribution System
With an ungrounded power distribution system it is possible to have a continuous current path to ground through the MOV
devices internal to the VS1GV. To avoid equipment damage, an isolation transformer with a WYE grounded secondary is
recommended. This provides three phase AC power that is symmetrical with respect to ground.
4.1.2 Input Power Conditioning
Baldor drives are designed for direct connection to standard three phase lines that are electrically symmetrical with respect
to ground. An AC line reactor or an isolation transformer may be required for some power conditions.
• If the feeder or branch circuit that provides power to the drive has permanently connected power factor correction
capacitors, an input AC line reactor or an isolation transformer must be connected between the power factor correction
capacitors and the drive.
• If the feeder or branch circuit that provides power to the drive has power factor correction capacitors that are switched on
line and off line, the capacitors must not be switched while the drive is connected to the AC power line. If the capacitors
must be switched while the drive is connected to the AC power line, additional protection is required. TVSS (Transient
Voltage Surge Suppressor) of the proper rating must be installed on the drive input between the drive and any type of
input impedance such as an input reactor or drive isolation transformer.
4.2 Line Impedance
Baldor VS1GV drives require 1% line impedance minimum (3% for AA frame size drives and B Frame NEMA 4X drives). If the
impedance of the incoming power does not meet this requirement, a 3 phase line reactor can be used to provide the needed
impedance in most cases. The input impedance of the power lines can be determined as follows:
Measure the line to line voltage at no load and at full rated load.
Use these measured values to calculate impedance as follows:
% Impedance =

Power Wiring 4-1MN765
4.2.1 Line Reactors
Three phase line reactors are available from Baldor. The line reactor to order is based on the full load current of the motor
(FLA). If providing your own line reactor, use the following formula to calculate the minimum inductance required.

Use 314 if input power is 50 Hz.
(Note: Change this value to
4.2.2 Load Reactors
Line reactors may be used at the drive output to the motor. When used this way, they are called Load Reactors. Load
reactors serve several functions that include:
• Protect the drive from a short circuit at the motor.
• Limit the rate of rise of motor surge currents.
• Slowing the rate of change of power the drive delivers to the motor.
Load reactors should be installed as close to the drive as possible. Selection should be based on the motor nameplate FLA
value.
4.3 Line Disconnect
A power disconnect should be installed between the input power service and the drive for a fail safe method to disconnect
power. This drive will remain in a powered-up condition until all input power is removed from the drive and the internal bus
voltage is depleted.
4.4 Protective Devices
NOTE: Integral solid state short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit protection. Branch circuit protection must
be provided in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any additional local codes.
Recommended fuse sizes are based on the following:
115% of maximum continuous drive input current for time delay.
150% of maximum continuous drive input current for Fast or Very Fast action.
Note: These recommendations do not consider harmonic currents or ambient temperatures greater than 45°C. Be sure a
suitable input power protection device is installed. Use the recommended fuses and wire sizes shown in Tables
4-1 through 4-6. Wire size is based on the use of copper conductor wire rated at 75°C. The table is specied for
NEMA B motors.

4.5 Reduced Input Voltage Considerations
When operating with other than nominal input voltages or with non-standard motors, the output current rating of the drive
must be greater than or equal to the continuous load requirements of the motor.
4.6 Electrical Installation
All interconnection wires between the drive, AC power source, motor, host control and any other operator interface stations
should be in metal conduits or shielded cable must be used. If the connection being made is on a connection stud or
grounding screw, then use listed closed loop connectors that are of appropriate size for wire gauge being used. Connectors
are to be installed using crimp tool specied by the manufactuer of the connector. Only Class 1 wiring should be used. See
Figure A-2 in Appendix A for conduit hole size for each frame size.

4.9 Operating a 3-Phase Control on Single Phase Input Power
Single phase AC input power can be used to power the control instead of three phase for control sizes AA, B and C. The
specications and control sizes are listed in Appendix A of this manual. If single phase power is to be used, the rated
Horsepower of the control must be reduced (derated). In addition, power wiring and jumper changes are required. Both
connection types are shown in Figures 4-5 and 4-6.
Single phase rating wire size and protection devices are listed in Tables 4-7 and 4-8.

4.9.1 Single Phase Power Derating:
Single phase power derating requires that the continuous and peak current ratings of the control be reduced by the
following:
1. 1 - 7.5HP 240 and 480VAC controls:
Derate output hp to the next lower hp value (i.e. 7.5hp becomes 5hp, etc.)
2. 10 - 50HP 240 and 480VAC controls:
Derate output hp by 50% of the nameplate rating.

If required by local codes or for safety reasons, an M-Contactor (motor circuit contactor) may be installed. However,
incorrect installation or failure of the M-Contactor or wiring may damage the control. M-Contactor connections are shown
in Figure 4-9.
CAUTION: If an M-Contactor is installed, the control must be disabled for at least 200msec before the
M-Contactor is opened. If the M-Contactor is opened while the control is supplying voltage and
current to the motor, the control may be damaged. Before the control is enabled, the M-Contactor
must be closed for at least 200msec.

2. See Line/Load Reactors described previously in this section.
3. Use same gauge wire for ground as for T1, T2 and T3 for AA, B, and C controls. For size D, E and F controls, size the
grounding conductor per the local electrical code.
4.11 Long Motor Leads
The wire leads that connect the motor to the control are critical in terms of sizing, shielding and the cable characteristics.
Short cable runs are usually trouble free but fault-monitoring circuitry can produce numerous faults when long cables (over
100 feet) are used.
• 100+ft (30m): Baldor recommends adding an optional load reactor to the output of the control.
• 250+ft (75m): Baldor recommends adding and optional load reactor and common mode choke to the control.
The load reactor and/or common mode choke should be placed in close physical proximity to the control. Unexpected
faults may occur due to excessive charging current required for motor cable capacitance. If you use long motor leads and
experience unexpected trips due to overload conditions and are not sure how to correctly size and connect the optional
load reactors, please contact your Baldor representative.

4.12 Optional Dynamic Brake Hardware
Refer to Figure 4-10 for DB resistor connections. Dynamic Brake (DB) hardware must be installed on a at, non-ammable,
vertical surface for effective cooling and operation.
CAUTION: Before external Dynamic Brake Hardware is added, the internal resistor must be disconnected
(frames AA, B, C and D). Remove the resistor from the B+/R1 and R2 terminals. The external
resistor can be connected across these terminals. Failure to remove the internal resistor will decrease the total resistance (parallel connection) and cause damage.

4.13 Encoder Installation
The Encoder Board (Daughter FDBK) is installed in the Feedback Module Slot 3 shown in Figure 4-11. Encoder
connections are made at that board. Use 16AWG (1.31mm2) maximum. The Encoder Board can provide +5VDC or
+12VDC (jumper selectable) encoder power. The factory setting for this jumper is +5VDC power. If an external
power supply is used for encoder power, the J1 jumper must still be used to scale the input signal levels correctly.
Important: An isolated power supply provides encoder power. Do not connect encoder Power to encoder case. Encoder
performance will be compromised.
Single Ended Connections
Differential inputs are recommended for best noise immunity. If only single ended encoder signals are available, connect
them to A+, B+, and INDEX (C+) (2, 4, and 6 respectively). A-, B- and C- are then connected to common at 9 as shown in
Figure 4-12.

The Home or Orient function causes the motor shaft to rotate to a predened home position {Home + Offset} (where
offset can be a “+” or “-” value). The homing function allows shaft rotation in the drive forward direction only until the
rising edge of the signal edge at terminal J2-6 of the encoder daughter board. The home position is located when a
machine mounted switch or the encoder C “Index” pulse is activated (closed). Home switch position is dened by a rising
signal edge at terminal J2-6 of the encoder daughter board. The shaft will continue to rotate in either direction to the user
dened offset value. The offset is programmed in the Level 2 Miscellaneous Homing Offset parameter (P#2308). The speed
at which the motor will “Home” or orient is set with the Level 2 Miscellaneous Homing Speed parameter (P#2307).
A machine mounted switch may be used to dene the Home position in place of the encoder index channel. A differential
line driver output from a solid state switch is preferred for best noise immunity. Connect this differential output to terminals
J2-6 and J2-7.
A single ended solid-state switch should be wired as shown in Figure 4-13. Regardless of the type of switch used, clean
rising and falling edges at J2-6 are required for accurate positioning.
NOTE: A control may require dynamic brake hardware for Orient (Homing) function to work. The control may trip without
dynamic brake hardware installed.
