This inverter is for driving a 3-phase motor, and must not be used for other applications.
[I] Always observe the following items to prevent electrical shock.
1. Do not touch charged parts such as the terminal block while the CHARGE lamp is lit. A charge will still
be present in the electrolytic capacitors, and therefore, touching these areas may result in an electrical
shock. Always turn the inverter’s input power off before wiring the motor terminals. Walt at least five
minutes after the "CHARGE' lamp has gone out, and then confirm that the capacitors have fully
discharged by using a tester, etc., that can measure high-voltage DC.
2. Do not touch or insert a rod or any other item into the
inverter while power is applied (there are high voltage areas
on the PCB), as this may lead to electrical shock or inverter
damage.
(When operating with the cover removed, charged areas will
be exposed, so always install the unit inside a panel so that
it cannot be easily touched.)
Never attempt to modify the inverter unit.
3. Ground the unit’s G/E terminal and the motor. (Electric
shock may occur due to leakage currents.)
[n] Retry function
1. This inverter has a "retry function" that automatically resets the unit when a fault trip occurs. Observe the
following points when this function is selected.
Even if the inverter has fault tripped, take care to not get caught in the motor or equipment. When the
"retry function" is selected, the inverter will automatically start after the designated time. (Refer to page
78.)
Take special care when an overload trip occurs, as the "retry function" may activate after a delay of up
to 5min.

1. Confirm the inverter’s rating nameplate, and connect a 3-phase input power source within the rated range
to the RA.1, S/L2, and TA- 3 power source terminals.
If an Incorrectly-rated power source is connected to the inverter, such as when a 400V power source is
connected to a 200V inverter, the inverter’s internal components may explode.
2. No fuse is contained in the inverter, so instail a suitable non-fuse breaker (MCCB) on the inverter’s input
power source.
(Refer to Table 5-1 on page 14 for Examples of selecting equipment for wiring.)
[IV] Refer to the following chapters for other precautions.

4. Operation Precautions
Observe the following points when using the VF-A5 inverter
4.1 Cautions Regarding Motor
Comparison with com
mercial power source
operation:
Running at low-speeds:
Adjustment of overload
protection level:
Running at speeds
exceeding 60Hz:
The VF-A5 inverter uses a sinusoidal-wave PWM method, but the
output voltage and output currertt will be distorted waveforms which
closely approximate sinusoidal waveforms, instead of complete
sinusoidal waveforms. In comparison to operating with the commercial
power source, the motor temperature rise, noise and vibration will
increase slightly.
When the inverter is used in combination with a general purpose
motor and run at low speeds, the motor’s cooling effect will decrease.
Therefore, the output load must be reduced to less than the rated
load. If the motor is to be run at the rated torque even at low speeds,
use a Toshiba 'VF motor* specially designed for use with inverters.
When used with a VF motor, the inverter’s overload protection level
must be adjusted. (Refer to pages 72, 73 for details.)
When using this inverter with a general purpose motor, the overload
protection of the VF-A5 is performed by use of an overioad detection
circuit (electronic thermal relay) that meets a general purpose motor’s
reduced load characteristics. The reference current value for this
electronic thermal relay is set to the inverter’s rated current value;
therefore, this may need adjustment depending on the motor.
When operating at a frequency that exceeds 60Hz, motor vibration
and noise wiil increase. Furthermore, this type of operation may be
limited by the motor’s mechanical strength and bearing construction,
so please contact the motor manufacturer for further information.
Load equipment lubrication
method:
Ultra-light loads and lowinertia loads:
Measures for instability
phenomena:
When driving an oil-lubricated speed reduction gear or geared motor,
the lubrication may deteriorate at low-speeds, so contact the speed
reduction gear manufacturer for information on usable variable-speed
areas.
Instability phenomena, such as abnormal vibration or overcurrent
trips, may occur when operating with an ultra-light load at a load ratio
of 5% or less, or with a load having an extremely small moment of
inertia In these cases, lower the carrier frequency. (Refer to page 66)
Instability phenomena may also occur when using the inverter with the
following types of motors or loads, so always confirm applicability
before use.
(1) Combination with motor exceeding recommended applicable
motor rating.
(2) Combination with special motors such as explosion-proof motors.
(3) Combination with special loads having severe rotational
fluctuations, such as piston-type movements.
- 5 -
Braking during power off:
The inverter will enter the coast-stop state when the power source is
turned off. The motor will therefore not stop immediately. To stop the
motor immediately, install an auxiliary brake unit. Dynamic braking
units and mechanical braking units are available, so select one that
suits your specific appiication.
Loads that generate a
negative torque:
Motors with brakes:
The overvoltage protection or overcurrent protection may function and
trip the inverter when used with loads that generate a negative torque,
in this case, a braking resistor that meets the load condition must be
instalied.
If a motor with a brake is directly connected to the inverter, the
voltage when the motor is started will be low, which may result in the
brake not being released. In this case, separately wire the brake
circuit and motor main circuit. In addition, there is a delay in the time
to when the inverter output stops if the inverter’s ST to CC control
terminal connection is released, so use of the circuit configuration in
Fig. 4-1 is recommended.
In Fig. (a), the brake power is turned ON and OFF via MC2 and MC3.
If a circuit configuration as shown in the drawing is not used, a bound
current may flow during braking and may cause an overcurrent trip.
The brake power can also be turned ON and OFF using the low-
speed signal LOW as shown in Fig. (b).
(Non-excited brake)
Fig.4.1 Circuit configuration for motor with brake
In some cases, such as in hoist applications, turning the brake ON and
OFF by using low-speed detection (LOW terminal function) may be better,
so contact your dealer for further details.
4.2 Cautions Regarding the inverter
Inverter’s overcurrent
protection:
Overcurrent protection is used as the VF-A5 inverter’s protection
function, and the current setting level is set to match the largest
applicable motor. Therefore, when operating a motor that is smaller
than the inverter capacity, the overcurrent level and electronic thermal
protection parameters must be readjusted. (Refer to pages 72, 73.)
Running with light loads:
Operating a large capacity motor with a light load using a small
capacity (kVA) inverter must be avoided. The output peak current will
increase due to the current ripple, and overcurrent trips may
frequently occur.
Power-factor improvement
capacitors;
Use with voltage sources
other than the rated voltage:
Protection device for
lightning surges:
Power-factor improvement capacitors must not be installed on the
inverter’s output. When operating a motor with power-factor
improvement capacitors installed, remove the capacitors, or the
inverter may fault trip or the capacitors may be damaged.
Use with voltage sources other than the rated voltage is not possible.
If necessary, use a transformer, etc., to increase or decrease the
source voltage to the rated voltage.
A DSA (lightning surge absorber) is used for protection in the unit. If a
surge voltage exceeding 2600 to 3600V peak is applied, the device
will light like a glowing electrical discharge. This will cause no
problems if the condition does not continue for an extended period of
time.
(Refer to Fig. 6-2-1 Fig. ® on page 21.)
7 -
Use of multiple inverter
units:
Observe the following points when using multiple inverter units on the
same power source line.
High-speed
As Shown above, there is no fuse installed in the inverter’s main
circuit, if a short circuit fault occurs in the inverter, not only MCCB2
will trip, but the main breaker MCCB1 may also trip.
Select the shut-off characteristics of MCCB1 and MCCB2 so that a
selective shutdown can be executed and only MCCB2 trips. If the
optimum characteristics cannot be selected, install a high-speed shut
off fuse after MCCB2. (Refer to page 14 for MCCB selection.)
4.3 Inverter Disposal Precautions
Observe the following points when disposing of the inverter.
Explosions from
incineration:
Gasses from plastics:
Disposal method:
Placing the inverter in an incinerator may be dangerous, as the
electrolytic fluid used in the electrolytic capacitors may expand and
explode.
The plastic used for the cover, etc., may generate poisonous gases
when incinerated.
Commission the disposal of the inverter to a specialist.

5. Wiring Precautions
5.1 Connection to Main Circuit (Refer to page 11, Fig. 5.1.)
Observe the following precautions when making connections to the inverter.
Confirmation of power OFF:
Electrical shock preventionconfirmation of charge
dissipation:
Confirmation of main circuit
connections:
Separation of power source
and motor wiring:
Separation of control and
main power supplies:
Always turn the primary power distribution panel switch OFF, and
confirm with a tester that a voltage is not present before beginning
wiring to the inverter.
Before changing the wiring, wait at least five minutes after the
•CHARGE“ lamp inside the inverter has gone out, and then confirm
that the capacitors have fully discharged by using a tester, etc., that
can measure high-voltage DC. The internal electrolytic capacitors are
charged, and there is a danger of electrical shock If the charged
areas are touched while the "CHARGE' lamp is on. Do not touch the
terminal block or remove the upper cover while the lamp is lit
The inverter will be damaged If the input power source is applied to
the motor terminals (U/T1, V/T2, W/T3). Always confirm the wiring for
the power source terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3) and motor terminals
(U/T1, V/T2, W/T3) before turning the power on.
To prevent problems due to radio-frequency noise, etc., do not bundle
the wiring to the input power terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3) and the
motor terminals (U/T1, V/T2, VJfTS) together.
In order to maintain the control power supply to display faults or to
operate the communication options while the main circuit power is
shut down, remove the two shorting bars (between R/L1-R0, S/L2-S0)
on the control power supply terminal block. Connect the control
power to a power source that is separate from the main circuit supply.
5.2 Connection of Control Signals
Observe the following points when making control signal connections.
Rating of relay contacts:
Power wiring for control
circuit:
Control wiring wire sizes:
Isolation from main circuit:
Use a relay intended for use with micro-current (min. applicable load
rating less than 4mA-24V.), and install a surge killer on the relay’s
exciting coil.
Use shielded wiring or twisted-pair wiring for the control circuit, and
separate the wiring from the main circuit wiring.
The following wiring sizes for the control circuit are recommended.
Frequency setting signal input, frequency meter, ammeter: shielded
wire that is 0.3mm® or larger
Other signals: Vinyl-insulated wire that is 0.75mm® or larger
All control terminals other than FLA, FLB and FLC are connected to
Internal electronic circuits, so input signals must always be electrically
isolated from the main circuit.
9-
Ratings of connected
meters:
Connect a full-scale 1 mAdc DC ammeter or full-scale 7.5Vdc-1 mA DC
voltmeter to the control terminals.
Rating of FL signal contacts:
External use of control
power:
Open collector outputs:
Frequency-setting
potentiometer:
5.3 Other Precautions
Use of crimp-on terminal
lugs:
The contact rating of the protection operation detection relay (FL) is
250Vac (cos0=O.4) 30Vdc-1A.
A max. of 24Vdc-100mA can be used from the P24 control power
terminal to drive external relays.
The RCH and LOW control terminals are open-collector outputs, and
can output a max. 24Vdc-50mA. Use of a 24Vdc OMRON MY1 relay
(RY) is recommended.
Always install a diode (200V-1A class)
for surge absorption. Take special note
of the diode polarity to avoid incorrect
application.
Use a potentiometer rated at 1k to 10kO-1/4W for the frequency
setting Input signal.
The clearance between terminals on the inverter main circuit terminal
block is small, so use sleeved crimp-on terminal lugs for all main
circuit terminals. Take special care during connection so that the
terminal lugs do not make contact with neighboring terminal lugs.

Grounding terminal:
Built-in braking resistor
Internally-connected (E)
terminal:
The main circuit wiring is shown in Fig. 5.1.
(For 3.7kW or less, not showing control power terminals RO, SO)
Always ground the G/E grounding terminal with a wire that is 3.5mm®
or larger.
For inverter capacities that are 3.7kW or less, a built-in braking
resistor is connected between the main circuit terminals (PA1) and
(PB1), providing dynamic braking as a standard feature.
The (E) terminal is for internal connections, so do not remove
connections from it or make any external connections to it.
-10 -
Note) A DC reactor (stand-alone type option) can be installed on 5.5kW and larger units. (Refer to the
function of main circuit terminals PO and PA on page 18.)
Installation of non-fuse breaker
(1) Install a non-fuse breaker (MCCB) for wiring protection on the input power source side.
(2) Avoid frequent starting/stopping by turning the non-fuse breaker ON and OFF.
(3) Start and stop by turning terminals F to CC (or R to CC) ON and OFF.
Installation of primary magnetic contactor
(Refer to page 14; Examples of selecting equipment for wiring.)
(1) When using an external braking resistor, install a magnetic contactor (MC) or non-fuse breaker with
trip coil (MCCB) on the inverter's power supply input side for protection. Make sure that the power
circuit can be opened with the built-in fault detection relay (FL).
(2) The VF-A5 has a built-in fault detection relay (FL). Connect the contacts of this relay to the primary side
magnetic contactor (MC) operation terminals, so that the MC can be opened when the inverter’s
protection circuit functions.
The fault detection relay (FL) contacts (250VAC-1A cos0=O.4) can be directly connected on 200V
systems. When using a 400V system, a transformer must be used to create 200V or less for the FL
sequence.
If the MC exciting current exceeds the FL contact rating, install another relay step.
(3) Turn terminal F (or R) to CC ON and OFF to frequently start and stop. Due to repeated inrush currents
when the power is turned on, the life of the inverter will be shortened when the primary magnetic
contactor is used to start and stop, so do not use this method to start and stop frequently.
(4) Install a surge killer on the magnetic contactor (MC) exciting coil.
-11
Fig. 5.2 Wiring example using a magnetic contactor
installation restrictions of secondary-side magnetic contactors
(1) As a rule, if a magnetic contactor is installed between the inverter and motor, do not turn it ON/OFF
while running. (If the secondary-side contactor is turned ON and OFF while running, a large current
may flow in the inverter, causing inverter damage and failure.)
(2) A magnetic contactor may be installed to change the motor or to change to the commercial power
source when the inverter is stopped. Always use an interlock with the magnetic contactor in this
situation so that the commercial power supply is not applied to the inverter’s output terminals.
Installation of overload relay (thermal relay)
(Refer to page 14; Examples of selecting equipment for wiring.)
(1) The VF-A5 has a built-in overload protection function that uses an electronic thermal relay. However,
in the following cases, the thermal relay operation level must be adjusted or an overload relay matching
the motor’s characteristics must be installed between the inverter and motor.
0When using a motor having a rated current value different from a Toshiba general-purpose motor.
when running several motor simultaneously (An overload relay must be installed on each motor.)
Note) If the motor cables for a 400V class inverter are long, the thermal
relay may malfunction. In this case, lower the carrier frequency (refer
to adjustment parameters on page 66), or install a 0.1/r to O.SpF-
1000V film capacitor between the input/output terminals of each
phase’s thermal relay.
< Example > When using external thermal relays, the inverter can be externally fault-tripped and
immediately stopped by using the following method (Fig. 5.3).
12
Note) In this case, ensure that S4 is set to 'Emergency
stop function", by setting | /h H [in
0 r. 5 h to ID.
If the Th-Ry functions, the inverter will display
• E ', and fault trip.
* Other unused terminals can also be used instead of the S4
terminal.
Fig. 5.3 Wiring example using external thermal relays
C r. 51 etc., indicate the LED display on the operation panel. (Refer to Appendix 3, Character
codes, on page 123. The boxed items indicate a parameter or panel operation key.
When using the VF-A5 to drive a Toshiba VF motor*, designed exclusively for constant torque/inverter-
(2)
driven applications, set the electronic thermal protection characteristics for a VF motor.
(Refer to pages 72, 73, Electronic Thermal Protection.)
For protection measures, use of a motor with an imbedded-type thermal relay in the motor coil is
(3)
recommended when running a motor at low speeds.
Restrictions on the installation of power-factor improvement capacitors (both input/output)
Do not install power-factor improvement capacitors on the input or output sides of the inverter. Large
currents containing high frequency elements may flow to the capacitors and adversely affect them.
Capacitors on the output side may cause the inverter to overcurrent trip. Install an input reactor or De
link reactor (optional) for power-factor improvement.
Countermeasures against radio wave interference
The inverter may cause radio wave interference to audio equipment, etc., used near the inverter. In this
case, install a radio noise reduction filter (optional) on the inverter’s power source side, or shield the
cables to the motor with a conduit to reduce the interference. Contact your dealer for further details.
Cautions concerning ground faults
Verify that there are no incorrect connections between the motor and inverter and that there are no
short circuits in the motor before beginning operation. Do not ground the neutral point of a starconnected motor.
Installation of an input reactor
An input reactor can be used to improve the input power-factor, to suppress high harmonic elements,
and to miminize the risk of damage to the inverter that may be caused by sudden power fluctuations.
Always install an input reactor when connecting the inverter to the following types of systems.
(1) When power source capacity is SOOkVA or more, and when power source capacity is greater than
the inverter capacity by a factor of 10 times or more.
When connecting the inverter to the same power system as thyristor-commutated control
(2)
equipment.
When connecting the inverter to the same power system as a distorted-wave generation source,
(3)
such as an arc furnace or thyristor-switched converter unit.
Leakage currents
Leakage currents may increase slightly depending on the connection method.
(1) When multiple inverters are connected to one ELCB, increase the ELCB current sensitivity value.
(2) Keep the wiring length between the inverter and motor as short as possible.
(3) Use an ELCB with high-harmonic suppression.
