Injury Or Loss Of Life.
• Turn off, lockout, and tag out all power sources before proceeding to connect the power wiring to
the equipment.
• After ensuring that all power sources are turned off and isolated in accordance with established
lockout/tag out procedures, connect the 3-phase power source wiring of the correct voltage to the
correct input terminals and connect the output terminals to a motor of the correct voltage and type
for the application (refer to NEC Article 300 – Wiring Methods and Article 310 – Conductors For
General Wiring). Size the branch circuit conductors in accordance with NEC Table 310.16.
• If multiple conductors are used in parallel for the input or output power and it is necessary to use
separate conduits, each parallel set shall have its own conduit (i.e., place U1, V1, W1, and a ground
wire in one conduit and U2, V2, W2 and a ground wire in another; refer to NEC Article 300.20 and
Article 310.4). National and local electrical codes should be referenced if three or more power
conductors are run in the same conduit (refer to 2008 NEC Article 310 adjustment factors).
• Ensure that the 3-phase input power is NOT connected to the output of the ASD. This will damage
the ASD and may cause injury to personnel.
• DO NOT install the ASD if it is damaged or if it is missing any component(s).
• DO NOT connect resistors across terminals PA – PC or PO – PC. This may cause a fire.
• Ensure the correct phase sequence and the desired direction of motor rotation in the Bypass mode
(if applicable).
• Turn the power on only after attaching and/or securing the front cover.
Protection
• Ensure that primary protection exists for the input wiring to the equipment. This protection must be
able to interrupt the available fault current from the power line. The equipment may or may not be
equipped with an input disconnect (option).
• All cable entry openings must be sealed to reduce the risk of entry by vermin and to allow for
maximum cooling efficiency.
• External dynamic braking resistors must be thermally protected.
• It is the responsibility of the ASD Installer/Maintenance Personnel to setup the Emergency Off
braking system of the ASD. The function of the Emergency Off braking function is to remove
output power from the drive in the event of an emergency. A supplemental braking system may also
be engaged in the event of an emergency. For further information on braking systems, see
parameters F250 and F304.
Note: A supplemental emergency stopping system should be used with the ASD. Emergency

• Follow all warnings and precautions and do not exceed equipment ratings.
6 G9 ASD Quick Start Guide
System Integration Precautions
WARNING
The following precautions are provided as general guidelines for the setup of the ASD within the
system.
• The Toshiba ASD is a general-purpose product. It is a system component only and the system
design should take this into consideration. Please contact your Toshiba Sales Representative for
application-specific information or for training support.
• The Toshiba ASD is part of a larger system and the safe operation of the ASD will depend upon
observing certain precautions and performing proper system integration.
• Improperly designed or improperly installed system interlocks may render the motor unable to start
or stop on command.
• The failure of external or ancillary components may cause intermittent system operation (i.e., the
system may start the motor without warning).
• A detailed system analysis and job safety analysis should be performed by the systems designer
and/or systems integrator before the installation of the ASD component. Contact your Toshiba
Sales Representative for options availability and for application-specific system integration
information if required.
Personnel Protection
• Installation, operation, and maintenance shall be performed by Qualified Personnel Only.
• A thorough understanding of the ASD will be required before the installation, operation, or
maintenance of the ASD.
• Rotating machinery and live conductors can be hazardous and shall not come into contact with
personnel. Personnel should be protected from all rotating machinery and electrical hazards at all
times.
• Insulators, machine guards, and electrical safeguards may fail or be defeated by the purposeful or
inadvertent actions of workers. Insulators, machine guards, and electrical safeguards are to be
inspected (and tested where possible) at installation and periodically after installation for potential
hazardous conditions.
• DO NOT allow personnel near rotating machinery. Warning signs to this effect shall be posted at
or near the machinery.
• DO NOT allow personnel near electrical conductors. Contact with electrical conductors can be
fatal. Warning signs to this effect shall be posted at or near the hazard.
• Personal protection equipment shall be provided and used to protect employees from any hazards
inherent to system operation.
G9 ASD Quick Start Guide 7
System Setup Requirements
CAUTION
• When using the ASD as an integral part of a larger system, it is the responsibility of the
ASD Installer/Maintenance Personnel to ensure that there is a fail-safe in place (i.e., an
arrangement designed to switch the system to a safe condition if there is a fault or failure).
• System safety features should be employed and designed into the integrated system in a manner
such that system operation, even in the event of system failure, will not cause harm or result in
system damage or injury to personnel (i.e., E-Off, Auto-Restart settings, System Interlocks, etc.).
• The programming setup and system configuration of the ASD may allow it to start the motor
unexpectedly. A familiarity with the Auto-Restart settings are a requirement to use this product.
• Power factor improvement capacitors or surge absorbers MUST NOT be installed on the output of
the ASD.
• Use of the built-in system protective features is highly recommended (i.e., E-Off, Overload
Protection, etc.).
• The operating controls and system status indicators should be clearly readable and positioned
where the operator can see them without obstruction.
• Additional warnings and notifications shall be posted at the equipment installation location as
deemed required by Qualified Personnel.
• There may be thermal or physical properties, or ancillary devices integrated into the overall system
that may allow for the ASD to start the motor without warning. Signs to this effect must be posted
at the equipment installation location.
• If a secondary magnetic contactor (MC) or an ASD output disconnect is used between the ASD and
the load, it should be interlocked to halt the ASD before the secondary contact opens. If the output
contactor is used for bypass operation, it must be interlocked such that commercial power is never
applied to the ASD output terminals (U, V, or W).
• When using an ASD output disconnect, the ASD and the motor must be stopped before the
disconnect is either opened or closed. Closing the output disconnect while the 3-phase output of the
ASD is active may result in equipment damage or injury to personnel.

WARNING
Precautions
• Turn off, lockout, and tag out the main power, the control power, and instrumentation connections
before inspecting or servicing the drive, or opening the door of the enclosure.
• Turn off, lockout, and tag out the main power, the control power, and instrumentation connections
before proceeding to disconnect or connect the power wiring to the equipment.
• The capacitors of the ASD maintain a residual charge for a period of time after turning off the ASD.
The required time for each ASD typeform is indicated with a cabinet label and a Charge LED
(shown for smaller ASDs in Figure 2 on pg. 12; LED is located on the front panel of larger ASDs).
Once the ASD power has been turned off, wait at least the minimum time indicated on the
enclosure-mounted label and ensure that the Charge LED has gone out before opening the door of
the ASD.
• Turn the power on only after attaching (or closing) the front cover and DO NOT remove or open
the front cover of the ASD when the power is on.
• DO NOT attempt to disassemble, modify, or repair the ASD. Call your Toshiba Sales
Representative for repair information.
• DO NOT place any objects inside of the ASD.
• If the ASD should emit smoke, or an unusual odor or sound, turn the power off immediately.
• The heat sink and other components may become extremely hot to the touch. Allow the unit to cool
before coming in contact with these items.
• Remove power from the ASD during extended periods of non-use.
• The system should be inspected periodically for damaged or improperly functioning parts,
cleanliness, and to ensure that the connectors are tightened securely.
G9 ASD Quick Start Guide 9
Installation and Connections
CAUTION
The G9 True Torque Control2 Adjustable Speed Drive may be set up initially by performing a few
simple configuration settings. To operate properly, the ASD must be securely mounted and connected to
a power source (3-phase AC input at the R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3 terminals). The control terminals of the
ASD may be used by connecting the terminals of the Terminal Board (P/N 072314P903) to the proper
sensors or signal input sources (see the section titled I/O and Control on pg. 17
System performance may be further enhanced by assigning a function to the output terminals of the
Terminal Board and connecting the terminals to the proper indicators or actuators (relays, contactors,
LEDs, etc.).
Note: See the G9 ASD Installation and Operation Manual for a listing of the optional
ASD interface boards that may be used to expand the I/O functionality of the ASD.
Installation Notes
When a brake-equipped motor is connected to the ASD, it is possible that the brake may not release at
startup because of insufficient voltage. To avoid this, DO NOT connect the brake or the brake contactor
to the output of the ASD.
If an output contactor is used for bypass operation, it must be interlocked such that commercial power is
never applied to the output terminals of the ASD (U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3).
and
Figure 9 on pg. 20).
DO NOT apply commercial power to the ASD output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3.
If a secondary magnetic contactor (MC) is used between the output of the ASD and the motor, it should
be interlocked such that the ST – CC connection is disconnected before the output contactor is opened.
DO NOT open and then close a secondary magnetic contactor between the ASD and the motor unless
the ASD is off and the motor is not rotating.
Note: Re-application of power via a secondary contact while the ASD is on or while the
motor is still turning may cause ASD damage.
The ASD input voltage should remain within 10% of the specified input voltage range. Input voltages
approaching the lower or upper-limit settings may require that the overvoltage and undervoltage stall
protection level parameters be adjusted. Voltages outside of the permissible tolerance should be
avoided.
The frequency of the input power should be ± 2 Hz of the specified input frequency.
DO NOT use an ASD with a motor that has a power rating higher than the rated output of the ASD.
The ASD is designed to operate NEMA B motors. Consult with your Toshiba Sales Representative
before using the ASD for special applications such as with an explosion-proof motor or applications
with a piston load.
Disconnect the ASD from the motor before megging or applying a bypass voltage to the motor.
Interface problems may occur when an ASD is used in conjunction with some types of process
controllers. Signal isolation may be required to prevent controller and/or ASD malfunction (contact
your Toshiba Sales Representative or the process controller manufacturer for additional information
about compatibility and signal isolation).
Use caution when setting the output frequency. Over speeding a motor decreases its ability to deliver
torque and may result in damage to the motor and/or the driven equipment.
10 G9 ASD Quick Start Guide
Not all G9 ASDs are equipped with internal primary power input fuses (HP dependent). When
Figure 1. Circuit Breaker Configuration.
CAUTION
connecting two or more drives that have no internal fuse to the same power line as shown in Figure 1, it
will be necessary to select a circuit-breaking configuration that will ensure that if a short circuit occurs
in ASD 1, only MCCB2 trips, not MCCB1. If it is not feasible to use this configuration, insert a fuse
between MCCB2 and ASD 1.
Mounting the ASD
— The following thermal specifications apply to the 230- and the 460-volt ASDs ONLY —
Install the unit securely in a well ventilated area that is out of direct sunlight.
The process of converting AC to DC, and then back to AC produces heat. During normal ASD
operation, up to 5% of the input energy to the ASD may be dissipated as heat. If installing the ASD in a
cabinet, ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
DO NOT operate the ASD with the enclosure door open.
The ambient operating temperature rating of the G9 ASD is 14° to 104° F (-10° to 40° C).
When installing adjacent ASDs horizontally Toshiba recommends at least 5 cm of space between
adjacent units. However, horizontally mounted ASDs may be installed side-by-side with no space in
between the adjacent units — side-by-side installations require that the top cover be removed from each
ASD.
For 150 HP ASDs and above, a minimum of 50 cm of space is required above and below adjacent units
and any obstruction.This space is the recommended minimum space requirement for the ASD and
ensures that adequate ventilation is provided for each unit. More space will provide a better
environment for cooling (see the section titled Enclosure Dimension and Conduit Plate Information on
pg. 64 for additional information on mounting space requirements).
Note: Ensure that the ventilation openings are not obstructed.

If multiple conductors are used in parallel for the input or output power and it is necessary to use
separate conduits, each parallel set shall have its own conduit and not share its conduit with other
parallel sets (i.e., place U1, V1, and W1 in one conduit and U2, V2, and W2 in another; refer to NEC
Article 300.20 and Article 310.4). National and local electrical codes should be referenced if three or
more power conductors are run in the same conduit (refer to 2008 NEC Article 310 adjustment factors).
Note: National and local codes should be referenced when running more than three
conductors in the same conduit.
Install a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) or fuse between the 3-phase power source and the
ASD in accordance with the fault current setting of the ASD and 2008 NEC Article 430.
The ASD is designed and tested to comply with UL Standard 508C. Modifications to the ASD system
or failure to comply with the short circuit protection requirements outlined in this guide may disqualify
the UL rating. See Table 9 on pg. 77 for typeform-specific short circuit protection recommendations.
As a minimum, the installation of the ASD shall conform to 2008 NEC Article 110, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration requirements, and to any other local and regional industry codes
and standards.
Note: In the event that the motor rotates in the wrong direction when powered up, reverse
any two of the three ASD output power leads (U, V, or W) connected to the motor.

G9 ASD Quick Start Guide 13
System Grounding
Proper grounding helps to prevent electrical shock and to reduce electrical noise. The ASD is designed
to be grounded in accordance with Article 250 of the 2008 NEC or Section 10/Part One of the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
The grounding conductor shall be sized in accordance with Article 250-122 of the NEC or Part One-
Tab le 6 of the CEC.
— The Metal Of Conduit Is Not An Acceptable Ground—
The input, output, and control lines of the system shall be run in separate metal conduits and each shall
have its own ground conductor.
ASDs produce high-frequency noise — steps must be taken during installation to avoid the negative
effects of noise. Listed below are some examples of measures that will help to combat noise problems.
• DO NOT install the input power and output power wires in the same duct or in parallel with each
other, and do not bind them together.
• DO NOT install the input/output power wires and the wires of the control circuit in the same duct
or in parallel with each other, and do not bind them together.
• Use shielded wires or twisted wires for the control circuits.
• Ensure that the grounding terminals (G/E) of the ASD are securely connected to ground.
• Connect a surge suppressor to every electromagnetic contactor and every relay installed near the
ASD.
• Install noise filters as required.
Grounding Capacitor
The Grounding Capacitor plays a role in minimizing the effects of leakage current through the ASD
system and through ground paths to other systems. Leakage current may cause the improper operation
of earth-leakage current breakers, leakage-current relays, ground relays, fire alarms, and other sensors
— and it may cause superimposed noise on CRT screens.
The Grounding Capacitor Switch allows the user to quickly change the value of the leakage-reduction
capacitance of the 3-phase input circuit. See Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7 on pg. 15 for an
electrical depiction of the leakage-reduction functionality and the methods used to change the
capacitance value. The method used is typeform-specific.
If using a 460-volt 5 HP ASD or a 460-volt ASD that is in the range of 7.5 HP to 25 HP, and the U/T1,
V/T2, and W/T3 connections to the motor are 100 meters or more in length, the ASD Carrier
Frequency must be set to 4 kHz or less when activating or deactivating the Grounding Capacitor
Switch. ASD overheating may occur if the Carrier Frequency is set above 4 kHz when activating or
deactivating the Grounding Capacitor Switch.
See pg. 5 for more information on the Grounding Capacitor Switch and pg. 12 for the location.
