◆ Application Notes
■ Selection
Installing a Reactor
An AC or DC reactor can be used for the following:
• to suppress harmonic current.
• to smooth peak current that results from capacitor switching.
• when the power supply is above 600 kVA.
• when the drive is running from a power supply system with thyristor converters.
Note: A DC reactor is built in to 200 V and 400 V class models with a capacity of 22 kW and higher (HD rating).

i.2 General Safety
Drive Capacity
For specialized motors, make sure that the motor rated current is less than rated output current for the drive. When
running more than one motor in parallel from a single drive, the capacity of the drive should be larger than 1.1 times of
the total motor rated current.
Starting Torque
The overload rating for the drive determines the starting and accelerating characteristics of the motor. Expect lower
torque than when running from line power. To get more starting torque, use a larger drive or increase both the motor and
drive capacity.
Emergency Stop
When the drive faults out, a protective circuit is activated and drive output is shut off. This, however, does not stop the
motor immediately. Some type of mechanical brake may be needed if it is necessary to halt the motor faster than the Fast
Stop function is able to.
Options
The B1, B2, +1, +2, and +3 terminals are used to connect optional devices. Connect only A1000-compatible devices.
Repetitive Starting/Stopping
Cranes (hoists), elevators, punching presses, and other such applications with frequent starts and stops often exceed
150% of their rated current values. Heat stress generated from repetitive high current can shorten the life span of the
IGBTs. The expected lifesaving for the IGBTs is about 8 million start and stop cycles with a 4 kHz carrier frequency and
a 150% peak current.
Yaskawa recommends lowering the carrier frequency, particularly when audible noise is not a concern. The user can also
choose to reduce the load, increase the acceleration and deceleration times, or switch to a larger drive. This will help keep
peak current levels under 150%. Be sure to check the peak current levels when starting and stopping repeatedly during
the initial test run, and make adjustments accordingly.
For crane-type applications using the inching function in which the motor is quickly started and stopped, Yaskawa
recommends the following to ensure motor torque levels:
• Select a large enough drive so that peak current levels remain below 150% of the drive rated current.
• The drive should be one frame size larger than the motor.
■
Installation
Enclosure Panels
Keep the drive in a clean environment by either selecting an area free of airborne dust, lint, and oil mist, or install the
drive in an enclosure panel. Be sure to leave the required space between drives to provide for cooling, and that proper
measures are taken so that the ambient temperature remains within allowable limits. Keep flammable materials away
from the drive. If the drive must be used in an area where it is subjected to oil mist and excessive vibration, protective
designs are available. Contact Yaskawa or your Yaskawa agent for details.
Installation Direction
The drive should be installed upright as specified in the manual. For more information on installation, Refer to
Mechanical Installation on page 40.
■
Settings
Motor Code
If using OLV/PM designed for permanent magnet motors, make sure that the proper motor code has been set to
parameter E5-01 before performing a trial run.
Upper Limits
The drive is capable of running the motor up to 400 Hz. Due to the danger of accidentally of operating at high speed, be
sure to set the upper limit for the frequency. The default setting for the maximum output frequency is 60 Hz.
DC Injection Braking
Motor overheat can result if there is too much current used during DC Injection Braking, or if the time for DC Injection
Braking is too long.
18 YASKAWA ELECTRIC SIEP C710616 21A YASKAWA AC Drive - A1000 Technical Manual
i.2 General Safety
Acceleration/Deceleration Times
Acceleration and deceleration times are affected by how much torque the motor generates, the load torque, and the inertia
moment ((GD2)/4). Set a longer accel/decel time when Stall Prevention is enabled. The accel/decel times are lengthened
for as long as the Stall Prevention function is operating. For faster acceleration and deceleration, install one of the
braking options available or increase the capacity of the drive.
■
Compliance with Harmonic Suppression Guidelines
A1000 conforms to strict guidelines in Japan covering harmonic suppression for power conversion devices. Defined in
JEM-TR201 and JEM-TR226 and published by the Japan Electrical Manufacturers’ Association, these guidelines define
the amount of harmonic current output acceptable for new installation. Instructions on calculation harmonic output are
available at www.e-mechatronics.com.
General Handling
■
Wiring Check
Never connect the power supply lines to output terminals U/T1, V/T2, or W/T3. Doing so will destroy the drive. Be sure
to perform a final check of all sequence wiring and other connections before turning the power on. Make sure there are
no short circuits on the control terminals (+V, AC, etc.), as this could damage the drive.
Magnetic Contactor Installation
Avoid switching a magnetic contactor on the power supply side more frequently than once every 30 minutes. Frequent
switching can cause damage to the drive.
Inspection and Maintenance
Capacitors in the drive take time to discharge even after the power has been shut off. After shutting off the power, wait
for at least the amount of time specified on the drive before touching any components..
The heatsink can become quite hot during operation, and proper precautions should be taken to prevent burns. When
replacing the cooling fan, shut off the power and wait at least 15 minutes to be sure that the heatsink has cooled down.
Even when the power has been shut off for a drive running a PM motor, voltage continues to be generated at the motor
terminals while the motor coasts to stop. Take the precautions described below to prevent shock and injury:
• Applications where the machine can still rotate even though the drive has fully stopped should have a load switch
installed to the output side of the drive. Yaskawa recommends manual load switches from the AICUT LB Series by
AICHI Electric Works Co., Ltd.
• Do not attempt to move a load that could potentially rotate the motor faster than the maximum allowable r/min even
when the drive has been shut off.
• Wait for at least the time specified on the warning label after opening the load switch on the output side before
inspecting the drive or performing any maintenance.
• Do not open and close the load switch while the motor is running, as this can damage the drive.
• If the motor is coasting, make sure the power to the drive is turned on and the drive output has completely stopped
before closing the load switch.
Wiring
All wire ends should use ring terminals for UL/cUL compliance. Use only the tools recommended by the terminal
manufacturer for crimping.
Transporting the Drive
Never steam clean the drive.
During transport, keep the drive from coming into contact with salts, fluorine, bromine, phthalate ester, and other such
harmful chemicals.

i.2 General Safety
◆ Notes on Motor Operation
■ Using a Standard Motor
Low Speed Range
The cooling fan of a standard motor is usually designed to sufficiently cool the motor at the rated speed. As the selfcooling capability of such a motor reduces with the speed, applying full torque at low speed will possibly damage the
motor. To prevent motor damage from overheat, reduce the load torque as the motor slows. Figure i.2 shows the
allowable load characteristics for a Yaskawa standard motor. A motor designed specifically for operation with a drive
should be used when 100% continuous torque is needed at low speeds.

Insulation Tolerance
Consider voltage tolerance levels and insulation in applications with an input voltage of over 440 V or particularly long
wiring distances. Contact Yaskawa or your Yaskawa agent for consultation.
High Speed Operation
Problems may occur with the motor bearings and dynamic balance of the machine when operating a motor beyond its
rated speed. Contact the motor or machine manufacturer.
Torque Characteristics
Torque characteristics differ compared to operating the motor directly from line power. The user should have a full
understanding of the load torque characteristics for the application.
Vibration and Shock
A1000 lets the user choose between high carrier PWM control and low carrier PWM. Selecting high carrier PWM can
help reduce motor oscillation.
Take particular caution when using a variable speed drive for an application that is conventionally run from line power at
a constant speed. If resonance occurs shock-absorbing rubber should be installed around the base of the motor and the
Jump frequency selection should be enabled to prevent continuous operation in the resonant frequency range.
Audible Noise
Noise created during run varies by the carrier frequency setting. When using a high carrier frequency, audible noise from
the motor is comparable to the motor noise generated when running from line power. Operating above the rated r/min,
however, can create unpleasant motor noise.
Using a Synchronous Motor
■
• Contact Yaskawa or your Yaskawa agent if you plan to use any other synchronous motor not endorsed by Yaskawa.
• Synchronous motors cannot be started directly from line power. Applications requiring line power to start should use
an induction motor with the drive.
• A single drive is not capable of running multiple synchronous motors at the same time. Use a standard induction motor
for such setups.
20 YASKAWA ELECTRIC SIEP C710616 21A YASKAWA AC Drive - A1000 Technical Manual
i.2 General Safety
• At start, a synchronous motor may rotate slightly in the opposite direction of the Run command depending on
parameter settings and motor type.
• The amount of starting torque that can be generated differs by each control mode and by the type of motor being used.
Set up the motor with the drive after verifying the starting torque, allowable load characteristics, impact load tolerance,
and speed control range.
Contact Yaskawa or your Yaskawa agent if you plan to use a motor that does not fall within these specifications.
• In Open Loop Vector Control for PM motors, braking torque is less than 125% when running between 20% to 100%
speed, even with a braking resistor. Braking torque drops to less than half when running at less than 20% speed.
• In Open Loop Vector Control for PM motors, the allowable load inertia moment is approximately 50 times higher than
the motor inertia moment or less. Contact Yaskawa or your Yaskawa agent concerning applications with a larger inertia
moment.
• When using a holding brake in Open Loop Vector Control for PM motors, release the brake prior to starting the motor.
Failure to set the proper timing can result in speed loss. Not for use with conveyor, transport, or hoist type applications.
• To restart a coasting motor rotating at over 200 Hz while in the V/f control mode, use the Short Circuit Braking
function to first bring the motor to a stop. Short Circuit Braking requires a special braking resistor. Contact Yaskawa or
your Yaskawa agent for details.
Speed Search can be used to restart a coasting motor rotating slower than 200 Hz. If the motor cable is relatively long,
however, the motor should instead be stopped using Short Circuit Braking, which forces the motor to stop by creating a
short-circuit in the motor windings.
◆ Applications with Specialized Motors
■ Applications with Specialized Motors
Multi-Pole Motor
Because the rated current will differ from a standard motor, be sure to check the maximum current when selecting a
drive. Always stop the motor before switching between the number of motor poles. If a regen overvoltage fault occurs or
if overcurrent protection is triggered, the motor will coast to stop.
Submersible Motor
Because motor rated current is greater than a standard motor, select the drive capacity accordingly. Be sure to use a large
enough motor cable to avoid decreasing the maximum torque level on account of voltage drop caused by a long motor
cable.
Explosion-Proof Motor
Both the motor and drive need to be tested together to be certified as explosion-proof. The drive is not designed for
explosion proof areas.
Furthermore, if an encoder is attached to an explosion-proof motor make sure the encoder is explosion-proof too. Use an
insulating signal converter for connecting the encoder signal lines to the drives speed feedback option card.
Geared Motor
To avoid gear damage when operating at low speeds or very high speeds, make sure that both the gear and lubricant are
rated for the desired speed range. Consult with the manufacturer for applications that require operation outside the rated
speed range of the motor or gear box.
Single-Phase Motor
Variable speed drives are not designed for operation with single phase motors. Using capacitors to start the motor causes
excessive current to flow and can damage drive components. A split-phase start or a repulsion start can end up burning
out the starter coils because the internal centrifugal switch is not activated. A1000 is for use with 3-phase motors only.
Uras Vibrator
Uras vibrator is a vibration motor that gets power from centrifugal force by rotating unbalanced weights on both ends of
the shaft. After considering the points below, consult with a your Yaskawa representative to determine the best solution
for the application.
• Uras vibrator should be used within the drive rated frequency.
• Use V/f Control.

Warning Label
• Increase the acceleration time five to fifteen times longer than would normally be used due to the high amount of load
inertia of an Uras vibrator. Increase drive capacity for applications that require an acceleration time of less than 5 s.
• Drive may have trouble starting due to undertorque that results from erratic torque (static friction torque at start).
Motor with Brake
Caution should be taken when using a drive to operate a motor with a built-in holding brake. If the brake is connected to
the output side of the drive, it may not release at start due to low voltage levels. A separate power supply should be
installed for the motor brake. Motors with a built-in brake tend to generate a fair amount of noise when running at low
speeds.
Power Driven Machinery (decelerators, belts, chains, etc.)
■
Continuous operation at low speeds wears on the lubricating material used in gear box type systems to accelerate and
decelerate power driven machinery. Caution should also be taken when operating at speeds above the rated machine
speed due to noise and shortened performance life.

1.1 Section Safety
CAUTION
NOTICE
1.1Section Safety
Do not carry the drive by the front cover or the terminal cover.
Failure to comply may cause the main body of the drive to fall, resulting in minor or moderate injury.
Observe proper electrostatic discharge procedures (ESD) when handling the drive and circuit boards.
Failure to comply may result in ESD damage to the drive circuitry.
A motor connected to a PWM drive may operate at a higher temperature than a utility-fed motor and the
operating speed range may reduce motor cooling capacity.
Ensure that the motor is suitable for drive duty and/or the motor service factor is adequate to accommodate the
additional heating with the intended operating conditions.
