System Setup Requirements

CAUTION

Phone: [phone] - Fax: [phone] - Web: www.clrwtr.com - Email: [e-mail]

• 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.

• 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 must be posted to this effect
at the equipment installation location.

• DO NOT install power factor improvement capacitors or surge absorbers 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.

• Follow all warnings and precautions and do not exceed equipment ratings.

•The Dynamic Braking function is not used with the Q9 ASD.

• DO NOT attempt to configure or connect the DBR function to the Q9 ASD.

• Attempts to configure or adapt the ASD to use the Dynamic Braking function may result in system
damage or injury to personnel.

• 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.

Installation and Connections

CAUTION

Phone: [phone] - Fax: [phone] - Web: www.clrwtr.com - Email: [e-mail]

The ASD 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 (LEDs, relays,

contactors, etc.).

Note: The option al Q9 ASD interface boards 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/T 1, 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-applicat ion of power via a secondary contact while the Q9 ASD is on or while the

motor is s t il l turnin g m a y cause ASD damage .

The Q9 ASD input voltage should remain within 10% of the specified input voltage range. Input
voltages approaching the upper or lower-limit settings may require that the over-voltage 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 Q9 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 the ability to deliver

torque and may result in damage to the motor and/or the driven equipment.

10 Q9 ASD Quick Start Guide

Not all ASDs are equipped with internal primary power input fuses (HP dependent). When connecting

Figure 1. Typical Circuit Breaker Configuration.

CAUTION

Phone: [phone] - Fax: [phone] - Web: www.clrwtr.com - Email: [e-mail]

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 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 Q9 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 Dimensions on pg. 49 for additional

information on mounting space requirements).

Note: Ensure that the ventilation openings are not obstructed.

Power Connections

Contact With 3-Phase Input/Output Terminals May Cause

Electrical Shock Resulting In Injury Or Loss Of Life.

See Figure 20 on pg. 22 for a system I/O connectivity schematic.

An inductor (DCL) may be connected across the PO and PA/+ terminals to provide additional filtering.

When not used, a jumper must be connected across these terminals (See Figure 20 on pg. 22).

PA/+ and PB are used for the DBR connection. The DBR function is not used on the Q9 ASD.
PC/- is the negative terminal of the DC bus.
R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3 are the 3-phase input supply terminals for the ASD.
U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3 are the output terminals of the ASD that connect to the motor.
The location of the Charge LED for the smaller typeform ASD is provided in Figure 2. The Charge

LED is located on the front door of the enclosure of the larger ASDs.
