Thank you for choosing DELTA’s high-performance VFD-F Series. VFD-F Series are
manufactured by adopting high-quality components, material and incorporating the latest
microprocessor technology available.
Getting Started
This manual will be helpful in the installation, parameter setting, troubleshooting, and daily
maintenance of the AC motor drives. To guarantee safe operation of the equipment, read
the following safety guidelines before connecting power to the AC drives. Keep this
operating manual handy and distribute to all users for reference.
!
WARNING
!
Always read this manual thoroughly before using VFD-F series AC Motor Drives.
!
DANGER!
or disconnect wires and connectors while power is applied to the circuit. Maintenance must
be performed by qualified technicians.
!
CAUTION! There are highly sensitive MOS components on the printed circuit boards.
These components are especially sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damage to these
components, do not touch these components or the circuit boards with metal objects or
your bare hands.
!
DANGER! A charge may still remain in the DC-link capacitor with hazardous voltages even
if the power has been turned off. To avoid personal injury, do not remove the cover of the
AC drive until all “DISPLAY LED” lights on the digital keypad are off. Please note that there
are live components exposed within the AC drive. Do not touch these live parts.
!
CAUTION! Ground the VFD-F using the ground terminal. The grounding method must
comply with the laws of the country where the AC drive is to be installed. Refer to Basic
Wiring Diagram.
!
DANGER! The AC drive may be destroyed beyond repair if incorrect cables are connected
to the input/output terminals. Never connect the AC drive output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and
W/T3 directly to the AC main circuit power supply.
!
CAUTION! The final enclosures of the AC drive must comply with EN50178. (Live parts
shall be arranged in enclosures or located behind barriers that meet at least the
requirements of the Protective Type IP20. The top surface of the enclosures or barrier that
is easily accessible shall meet at least the requirements of the Protective Type IP40).
(VFD-F series corresponds with this regulation.)
!
CAUTION! The rated voltage for the AC motor drive must be ≤ 240V for 230V models (≤
480V for 460V models) and the mains supply current capacity must be ≤ 5000A RMS
(≤10000A RMS for the ≥ 40hp (30kW) models)
CAUTION! Heat sink may heat up over 70oC (158oF), during the operation. Do not touch
the heat sink.
AC input power must be disconnected before any maintenance. Do not connect

2.2 Installation
The control, power supply and motor leads must be laid separately. They must not be
fed through the same cable conduit / trunking.
High voltage insulation test equipment must not be used on cables connected to the
drive.
Improper installation of the AC drive will greatly reduce its life. Be sure to observe the
following precautions when selecting a mounting location.
Failure to observe these precautions may void the warranty!
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.
Mount the AC drive vertically and do not restrict the air flow to the heat sink fins.
The AC drive generates heat. Allow sufficient space around the unit for heat dissipation.

CHAPTER 3 WIRING
DANGER
Hazardous Voltage
Before accessing the AC drive:
Disconnect all power to the AC drive.
Wait five minutes for DC bus capacitors discharge.
Any electrical or mechanical modification to this equipment without prior written
consent of Delta Electronics, Inc. will void all warranties and may result in a safety
hazard in addition to voiding the UL listing.
Short Circuit Withstand:
The rated voltage for the AC motor drive must be ≤ 240V for 230V models (≤
480V for 460V models) and the mains supply current capacity must be ≤
5000A RMS (≤10000A RMS for the ≥ 40hp (30kW) models)
