Warning labels

Labels bearing warning messages on inverter handling are found on the inverter in
the following locations (the messages are written in Japanese, English and French).
When handling the inverter, be sure to observe the instructions given on these
warning labels.

3 Precautions for use

– 10 –

3 Precautions for use

This chapter explains the limitations and other items the user must note when using
the inverter.



Selection

• Always use the inverter with Oriental Motor’s three-phase motor. Check the
permitted inverter/motor combinations in 4.2, “Motor/Inverter combinations” on
p.15.

• If a large-capacity power transformer (600 kVA or more) is connected to the
inverter, always install a DC reactor. Installing a DC reactor will improve the
power factor of the power supply. If any thyristor converter, such as a DC drive, is
connected to the inverter’s power supply, always install a DC reactor regardless of
the condition of power supply. For the peripherals that should be used with the
inverter, refer to 11.3 “Recommended peripherals” on p.58. Installing a DC
reactor will lower the DC voltage of the inverter’s main circuit. Therefore, in a
high-speed range the motor torque may drop and thereby cause the inverter’s
output current to rise beyond the rated output current.
Therefore, if you are connecting a DC reactor, keep the load to 80% of the
allowable torque or below so as not to cause the output current to exceed the rated
current.

• The explanations given in this manual assume an operating configuration
consisting of one motor and one inverter. If you need to operate multiple motors
with one inverter, please contact our Customer Service Center.

• Upon detection of abnormality, an appropriate protective function of the inverter
will actuate to automatically stop the inverter output. However, the inverter’s
protective functions cannot stop the motor quickly enough to ensure higher levels
of safety for your equipment. If your equipment requires an emergency-stop
function, provide a mechanical means for stopping the motor/retain the load.



Installation

• When installing the inverter, select a place with clean air free from oil mist, cotton
fly, dust or other suspended matters. Also, install the inverter in a fully sealed
enclosure that shuts out any suspended matters. If the inverter is installed in a
panel, select an appropriate cooling method and enclosure dimensions to keep the
inverter ambience from exceeding the allowable temperature.

• So that the heat generated from the inverter can be effectively exhausted, always
install the inverter vertically with the display side facing up. For the installation
method, refer to 5.2 “Installation condition” on p.22.

3 Precautions for use

– 11 –



Handling

• Impressing voltage on the motor terminals (U, V and W) on the rear of the
inverter may damage the inverter. Before turning on the power, confirm that the
power supply is wired correctly.

• If an electromagnetic contactor is connected between the power supply and
inverter, do not start or stop the inverter using the electromagnetic contactor.
Doing so may damage the inverter.



Peripherals

Installation and selection of protective devices

Install a protective device between the power supply and inverter to protect the
inverter’s primary circuit. For details on selecting an appropriate protective device
for this purpose, refer to 11.3 “Recommended peripherals” on p.58. Since a fully
electromagnetic molded-case circuit breaker can change the operating characteristics
of the inverter by generating harmonic current, select a breaker with a large capacity
if this type of circuit breaker is used. In the case of an earth-leakage breaker, use of a
special earth-leakage breaker for inverter, or a general earth-leakage breaker with a
current sensitivity of 200 mA or more, is recommended.

Use of an electromagnetic contactor between the power supply and
inverter

The inverter can be used without an electromagnetic contactor between the power
supply and inverter. An electromagnetic contactor is sometimes installed between
the power supply and inverter for the purpose of preventing the inverter from
starting automatically upon recovery from a momentary power outage. In this case,
do not use the electromagnetic contactor to start or stop the inverter. Doing so may
damage the inverter.
If an electromagnetic contactor is installed between the inverter and motor, as a rule
do not turn on/off the inverter power while the motor is operating. If an
electromagnetic contactor is provided to switch between the mains and other power
source, always stop the inverter and motor before switching to the mains.
If an electromagnetic contactor is used as a safety device in the event of momentary
power outage, use a delayed-release type electromagnetic contactor.



Improvement of power factor (Elimination of phase-advanced
capacitor)

To improve the power factor of the inverter, connect a DC reactor to the reactor
terminals on the inverter. Connecting a capacitor or surge killer to the inverter’s
output side for the purpose of improving the power factor may generate harmonics
in the inverter output, thus causing the motor to overheat or sustain damage. Also,
overcurrent may flow into the inverter and activate the inverter’s overcurrent
protection function. Therefore, do not connect a capacitor or surge killer to the
inverter.

3 Precautions for use

– 12 –



Radio interference

The inverter’s main circuit generates harmonics. Therefore, communication
equipment used near the inverter may suffer from radio interference. To minimize
the radio interference caused by the inverter, install a mains filter to the inverter
circuit. Radio interference can also be suppressed by housing the cables between the
inverter and motor/power supply in metal ducts and ground the metal ducts.



Cable size and wiring distance

Use a power cable of AWG14 (2.0 mm2) in size. For the wiring between the inverter
and motor, always use a dedicated optional cable (p.57). The maximum wiring
distance between the inverter and motor is 20 m (65.6 ft.) including extensions. If
the wiring distance between the inverter and motor must exceed 20 m (65.6 ft.),
please contact our Customer Service Center.
When operating the inverter via external input signals, keep the control lines as short
as possible. Also, wire the control lines away from the main circuits, relay sequence
circuits and other high-power circuits of peripherals, in order to prevent induction by
peripherals.



Noise elimination

This inverter adopts PWM control based on high carrier frequency and is therefore
subject to higher levels of electromagnetic noise. Eliminate noise by referring to the
following examples.

• Connect a mains filter to prevent sensor malfunctions and also eliminate AM radio
noise.

• To prevent negative effects by the inductive noise from the inverter’s power lines,
wire the inverter’s signal lines using twisted-pair shielded cables at least 300 mm
(11.8 in.) away from the power lines.



Countermeasure against harmonic leak current

Stray capacitance exists between the inverter’s power lines and other power lines,
the ground or the connected motor. Harmonic leak current may flow from the
inverter to the motor or peripherals through this stray capacitance, giving unwanted
effects to the motor/peripherals. Since leak current is determined by the wiring
distance between the inverter and motor and also by the inverter’s carrier frequency,
provide the following measures to minimize leak current.

• Use an earth-leakage breaker incorporating harmonic elimination measures (refer
to “Recommended peripherals” on p.58).

• Set the carrier frequency to 10 kHz using the carrier-frequency selector switch
provided on the rear of the inverter.

• Connect a zero-phase reactor (p.58).
A zero-phase reactor can be connected to either the output or input side of the
inverter. It also has the effect of reducing noise.

Directive



EMC Directives (89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC)

This inverter is designed and manufactured for installation in equipment. The
requirements of the EMC Directives must be satisfied by the user’s equipment in
which the inverter is assembled.
The following explains the basic methods for installing/wiring the inverter that are
effective in achieving conformance to the EMC Directives by your mechanical
equipment.
Please note that the final conformance of your mechanical equipment to the EMC
Directives will be determined, among others, by the configuration, wiring,
installation condition and degree of hazard of the motor and other control system
equipment or electrical parts used with the inverter. Therefore, it is imperative that
the user conducts EMC tests on their mechanical equipment to confirm the actual
EMC performance level of the equipment.



Connecting a mains filter for power supply line

Connect a mains filter in the AC input line to prevent the noise generating in the
inverter from irradiating out via the power supply lines.
Use the following product or an equivalent mains filter.

Single-phase, 200-240 V

Three-phase,

200-240 V

OKAYA ELECTRIC
INDUSTRIES CO., LTD.

SUP-EL10-ER-6 3SUP-HU10-ER-6

• Install the mains filter at a position as close as possible to the inverter. Also, use
cable clamps, etc., to securely affix the input and output cables of the mains filter
to the enclosure in order to prevent the cables from separating from the enclosure
surface. Use as thick a cable as possible to connect the grounding terminal of the
mains filter to a grounding point over the minimum distance.

• Do not wire the AC input cable and the mains filter’s output cable in parallel.
Doing so may allow the noise in the enclosure to enter the power supply cable via
stray capacitance and compromise the effect of the mains filter.



Grounding methods

To prevent an electric potential difference from generating at a grounding point,
ground each of the inverter, motor and mains filter over the minimum distance using
as thick a cable as possible. Provide a wide, thick and uniform conductive surface at
each grounding point.

Grounding the inverter

Connect the inverter’s protective grounding terminal to the ground. For the
grounding method, refer to “Grounding” on p.31.

Grounding the motor

Ground the motor by referring to the operating manual supplied with the motor.



Connecting the motor cable

Connect the motor using a dedicated optional cable (p.57) by keeping the cable
length to 20 m (65.6 ft.) or shorter. For the connection method, refer to 6.2
“Connecting the main circuit terminals” on p.29.



Wiring the signal cables

Wire each signal cable of the inverter over the minimum distance using a shielded
cable. For the applicable cable, refer to 6.3 “Connecting the I/O signal terminals” on
p.32.

5 Installation



Wiring a shielded cable

Ground each shielded cable using a metal cable clamp that contacts the entire
periphery of the shielded cable. Install the cable clamp at the tip of the shielded
cable and connect it to an appropriate grounding point.

Shielded cable



Notes about installation and wiring

• Connect the motor and inverter directly to their grounding points so as not to
generate difference in grounding electrical potential between the motor/inverter
and control system equipment nearby.

• If a relay or electromagnetic switch is used with the inverter, connect a mains
filter or surge absorber to absorb any surge voltage that may generate from the
relay or electromagnetic switch.

• Minimize the wiring length of each cable and do not loop or bundle any extra
length.

• Wire the power cables such as the motor cable and power supply cable separately
from the signal cables, and keep a minimum distance of 300 mm (11.8 in.)
between the two sets of cables. Also keep as much distance as possible between
the AC input cable and output cable of the mains filter. Provide a minimum
distance of 20 mm (0.79 in.) between the motor cable and power supply cable.

Output signal circuit

The output signals of this inverter are open-collector outputs. Therefore, an external
power supply is needed to operate the output signals. Use an external power supply
with a voltage range not exceeding 26.4 V, and connect a limiting resistor
appropriate for the power supply voltage so as not to cause the current to exceed
10 mA. No external power supply is required if the output signals are not used.
The output circuit terminals are insulated to the reinforced insulation standard for
protection against dangerous voltages.
The output signals of this inverter are transistor open-collector outputs. In other

Using a controller with a built-in clamp diode

When a controller with a built-in clamp diode is used, a sneak current path may
sometime cause the motor to run even though the controller power is off, if the
inverter power is on. The motor may also run when the controller power and inverter
power are turned on/off simultaneously, because the power capacity of the controller
is different from that of the inverter.
When turning on the power, turn on the controller power first, and then turn on the
inverter power. When turning off the power, turn off the inverter power first, and
then turn off the controller power.

∗1 If the protective function is actuated while the motor is running, the alarm code on the

display will remain steady. If the protective function is actuated while the motor is stopped,
the alarm code will blink.

∗2 If the alarm cannot be reset when a motor with a built-in thermal protector is used, the

motor’s thermal protector may not have been reset. In this case, force-cool the motor using
a fan or otherwise lower the motor temperature.

∗3 If the inverter still malfunctions after the power was turned off, and then on following a

circuit error, the internal circuit may have been damaged. Please contact the Oriental Motor
branch or sales office near you.

∗4 The ground-fault protection will actuate when the motor is started via generation of

ground-fault current while the inverter is receiving power. If the inverter-motor line is
shorted to the ground while the motor is running, large current will flow into the inverter,
prompting the overcurrent protection (AL20) or overvoltage protection (AL22) to be
actuated (These protective functions do not actuate if the line was already shorted to the
ground when the power was input. Always connect an earth-leakage breaker if ground fault
is anticipated).

∗5 In the case of a three-phase input inverter, if any one of the three power leads is missing,

the inverter's protective function may not work accurately under no load or small load.



Resetting an alarm

• When a steady alarm code is displayed

Confirm that the RUN/STAND-BY switch is set to the STAND-BY side, or the X0
input is stopped if external input signal control is used, and then input an alarm reset
signal to reset the alarm. (For the ALARM RESET input, refer to “ALARM RESET
input” on p.35.)
An alarm can also be reset by turning off and then on the inverter power. In this case,
be sure to wait at least 1 minute after turning off the power, before turning it back on.

Note

• When resetting an alarm, always remove the cause of the alarm first.

Resuming the operation without removing the cause may result in
damage.

• The ALARM RESET input is enabled only when the motor is stopped.

• When a blinking alarm code is displayed

Removing the cause of the alarm will automatically reset the alarm.
