result in fire or electric shock.
Connect output terminals (motor side) correctly.
If the phase sequence is incorrect, the motor will operate in reverse and that may result in
injury.
Wiring must be done after installation.
If wiring is done prior to installation that may result in injury or electric shock
The following steps must be performed before wiring.
(1) Turn off all input power.
(2) Wait at least ten minutes and check to make sure that the charge lamp is no longer lit.
(3) Use a tester that can measure DC voltage (800VDC or more), and check to make sure
that the voltage to the DC main circuits (across PA/+ and PC/-) is 45V or less.
If these steps are not properly performed, the wiring will cause electric shock.
Tighten the screws on the terminal board to specified torque.
If the screws are not tightened to the specified torque, it may lead to fire.
Check to make sure that the input power voltage is +10%, -15% of the rated power
voltage written on the rating label (10% when the load is 100% in continuous operation).
If the input power voltage is not +10%, -15% of the rated power voltage (10% when the
load is 100% in continuous operation) this may result in fire.
Ground must be connected securely.
If the ground is not securely connected, it could lead to electric shock or fire when a
malfunction or current leak occurs.

2) Grounding capacitor disconnecting switch and taps
Caution
The grounding capacitor disconnecting tap is provided with a protection cover. To avoid shock hazards,
always attach the cover after connecting or disconnecting the capacitor to or from the tap.
Mandatory
Every three-phase 400V model has a built-in high-attenuation noise filter, which is grounded through a
capacitor.
If you want to disconnect the capacitor from the grounding line to reduce the amount of leakage current,
you can do so easily using the switch or tap. Keep in mind, however, that disconnecting the capacitor
from the grounding line causes the inverter to become non-compliant with the EMC directive. Also note
that the inverter must always be turned off before the capacitor is disconnected or reconnected.
Note: In case of three phase 400V-5.5kW or less model, if you disconnect the capacitor from ground,
set the parameter of carrier frequency to 6kHz with motor cable length 30m or less.

Notes on the application
1.4.1
Motors
When the VF-FS1 and the motor are used in conjunction, pay attention to the following items.
Caution
Mandatory
Use an inverter that conforms to the specifications of power supply and three-phase induction motor
being used. If the inverter being used does not conform to those specifications, not only will the threephase induction motor not rotate correctly, but it may cause serious accidents through overheating and
fire.
Comparisons with commercial power operation.

The VF-FS1 Inverter employs the sinusoidal PWM system. However, the output voltage and output
current are not perfect sine waves, they have a distorted wave that is close to sinusoidal waveform.
This is why compared to operation with a commercial power there will be a slight increase in motor
temperature, noise and vibration.
Operation in the low-speed area

When running continuously at low speed in conjunction with a general purpose motor, there may be a
decline in that motor's cooling effect. If this happens, operate with the output decreased from rated load.
To carry out low-speed operation continuously at the rated torque, we recommend to use a inverter
rated motor or a forced cooled motor designed for use with an inverter. When operating in conjunction
with a inverter rated motor, you must change the inverter's motor overload protection level to VF motor
use ().
Adjusting the overload protection level

The VF-FS1 Inverter protects against overloads with its overload detection circuits (electronic thermal).
The electronic thermal's reference current is set to the inverter's rated current, so it must be adjusted in
line with the rated current of the general purpose motor being used in combination.
High speed operation at and above 60Hz

Operating at frequencies greater than 60Hz will increase noise and vibration. There is also a possibility
this will exceed the motor's mechanical strength limits and the bearing limits so you should inquire to
the motor's manufacturer about such operation.
Method of lubricating load mechanisms

Operating an oil-lubricated reduction gear and gear motor in the low-speed areas will worsen the
lubricating effect. Check with the manufacturer of the reduction gear to find out about operable gearing
area.
A-13
E6581381
Low loads and low inertia loads

The motor may demonstrate instability such as abnormal vibrations or overcurrent trips at light loads of
5 % or under of the load percentage, or when the load's inertia moment is extremely small. If that
happens reduce the carrier frequency.
Occurrence of instability
Unstable phenomena may occur with the load and motor combinations shown below.
Combined with a motor that exceeds applicable motor ratings recommended for the inverter
Combined with special motors
To deal with the above lower the settings of inverter carrier frequency.
Combined with couplings between load devices and motors with high backlash
When using the inverter in the above combination, use the S-pattern acceleration/deceleration function,
or when vector control is selected, adjust the speed control response/stability factor or switch to V/F
control mode.
Combined with loads that have sharp fluctuations in rotation such as piston movements
In this case, please do not use this inverter.
Braking a motor when cutting off power supply

A motor with its power cut off goes into free-run, and does not stop immediately. To stop the motor
quickly as soon as the power is cut off install an auxiliary brake. There are different kinds of brake
devices, both electrical and mechanical. Select the brake that is best for the system.
Load that produces regenerative torque

Do not use the inverter in combination with a load, such as an air conditioner, that produces
regenerative torque. Or the overvoltage or overcurrent protection circuit of the inverter may be activated,
causing the inverter to trip. If overvoltage tripping occurs during deceleration, lengthen the deceleration
time.
A-14
E6581381
Braking motor
When using a braking motor, if the braking circuit is directly connected to the inverters's output
terminals, the brake cannot be released because of the lowered starting voltage. Therefore, when
using a braking motor, connect the braking circuit to the inverter's power supply side, as shown in the
figure below. Usually, braking motors produce larger noise in low speed ranges.
Note:
In the case of the circuit shown on the below, assign the function of detecting low-speed signals
to the RY and RC terminals. Make sure the parameter is set to (factory default
setting).
Measures to protect motors against surge voltages

In a system in which a 400V-class inverter is used to control the operation of a motor, very high surge
voltages may be produced. When applied to the motor coils repeatedly for a long time, may cause
deterioration of their insulation, depending on the cable length, cable routing and types of cables used.
Here are some examples of measures against surge voltages.
(1) Lower the inverters carrier frequency.
(2) Set the parameter (Carrier frequency control mode selection) to or .
(3) Use a motor with high insulation strength.
(4) Insert an AC reactor or a surge voltage suppression filter between the inverter and the motor.
1.4.2
Inverters
Protecting inverters from overcurrent

The inverter has an overcurrent protection function. The programmed current level is set to the
inverter's maximum applicable motor. If the motor used has a small capacity, the overcurrent level and
the electronic thermal protection must be readjusted. If adjustment is necessary, see 5.12, and make
adjustments as directed.
Inverter capacity
Do not use a small-capacity (kVA) inverter to control the operation of a large-capacity motor , no matter
how light the load is. Current ripple will raise the output peak current making it easier to set off the
overcurrent trip.
A-15
E6581381
Power factor correction capacitor

Power factor correction capacitors cannot be installed on the output side of the inverter. When a motor
is run that has a power factor correction capacitor attached to it, remove the capacitors. This can cause
inverter malfunction trips and capacitor destruction.

Operating at other than rated voltage

Connections to voltages other than the rated voltage described in the rating label cannot be made. If a
connection must be made to a power supply other than one with rated voltage, use a transformer to
raise or lower the voltage to the rated voltage.
Circuit breaking when two or more inverters are used on the same power line.

MCCBn+1
INV2
INVn
Breaking of selected inverter

There is no fuse in the inverter's main circuit. Thus, as the diagram above shows, when more than one
inverter is used on the same power line, you must select interrupting characteristics so that only the
MCCB2 will trip and the MCCB1 will not trip when a short occurs in the inverter (INV1). When you
cannot select the proper characteristics install a circuit interrupting fuse between the MCCB2 and the
INV1.
If power supply distortion is not negligible

If the power supply distortion is not negligible because the inverter shares a power distribution line with
other systems causing distorted waves, such as systems with thyristors or large-capacity inverters,
install an input reactor to improve the input power factor, to reduce higher harmonics, or to suppress
external surges.
A-16
E6581381
Q Disposal
If an inverter is no longer usable, dispose of it as industrial waste.
1.4.3
What to do about the leak current

Caution
Current may leak through the inverter's input/output wires because of insufficient electrostatic capacity on the motor with
bad effects on peripheral equipment.
The leakage currents value is affected by the carrier frequency and the length of the input/output wires. Test and adopt
the following remedies against leak current.
(1) Effects of leak current across ground

Leakage current may flow not just through the inverter system but also through ground wires to other
systems. Leakage current will cause earth leakage breakers, leakage current relays, ground relays, fire
alarms and sensors to operate improperly, and it will cause superimposed noise on the CRT screen or
display of incorrect current detection with the CT.

Remedies:
1.If there is no radio-frequency interference or similar problem, detach the built-in noise filter
capacitor, using the grounding capacitor disconnecting switch or tap. See section 1.3.2-2.
2.Reduce PWM carrier frequency.
The setting of PWM carrier frequency is done with the parameter .
Although the electromagnetic noise level is reduced, the motor acoustic noise is increased.
3. Use high frequency remedial products for earth leakage breakers.

Leakage current path across wires
(1)
Thermal relays
The high frequency component of current leaking into electrostatic capacity between inverter output wires will increase the effective current values and make externally connected thermal relays
operate improperly. If the wires are more than 50 meters long, it will be easy for the external
thermal relay to operate improperly with models having motors of low rated current (several
A(ampere) or less), especially the 400V class low capacity (5.5kW or less) models, because the
leak current will increase in proportion to the motor rating.
Remedies:
1.Use the electronic thermal built into the inverter. See section 5.12.
The setting of the electronic thermal is done using parameter , .
2.Reduce the inverter's PWM carrier frequency. However, that will increase the motor's magnetic
noise.
The setting of PWM carrier frequency is done with the parameter . See section 6.11.
3.This can be improved by installing 0.1~0.5F - 1000V film capacitor to the input/output terminals of
each phase in the thermal relay.

E6581381
(2)
CT and ammeter
If a CT and ammeter are connected externally to detect inverter output current, the leak current's high
frequency component may destroy the ammeter. If the wires are more than 50 meters long, it will be
easy for the high frequency component to pass through the externally connected CT and be
superimposed on and burn the ammeter with models having motors of low rated current (several
A(ampere) or less), especially the 400V class low capacity (5.5kW or less) models, because the leak
current will increase in proportion to the motor's rated current.
Remedies:
1.Use a meter output terminal in the inverter control circuit.
The load current can be output on the meter output terminal (FM). If the meter is connected, use an
ammeter of 1mAdc full scale or a voltmeter of 7.5V(10V)-1mA full scale.
0-20mAdc (4-20mAdc) can be also output. See section 5.4.
2.Use the monitor functions built into the inverter.
Use the monitor functions on the panel built into the inverter to check current values.
See section 8.1.1.
1.4.4

Check to make sure that the input power voltage is +10%, -15% of the rated power voltage written on
the rating label (10% when the load is 100% in continuous operation) If the input power voltage is not
+10%, -15% of the rated power voltage (10% when the load is 100% in continuous operation) this
may result in fire.
A-19
E6581381
Do not install in any location of high temperature, high humidity,

moisture condensation and freezing and avoid locations where
there is exposure to water and/or where there may be large
amounts of dust, metallic fragments and oil mist.
Do not install in any location where corrosive gases or grinding
fluids are present.
Operate in areas where ambient temperature ranges from -10C to 60C.

Q How to install
Warning
Prohibited
Mandatory
Do not install or operate the inverter if it is damaged or any component is missing.

This can result in electric shock or fire. Please consult your local sales agency for repairs. Call your
local sales agency for repairs.
Mount the inverter on a metal plate.
The rear panel gets very hot. Do not install in an inflammable object, this can result in fire.
Do not operate with the front panel cover removed.
This can result in electric shock.
An emergency stop device must be installed that fits with system specifications (e.g. shut off input
power then engage mechanical brake).
Operation cannot be stopped immediately by the inverter alone, thus risking an accident or injury.
All options used must be those specified by Toshiba.
The use of any other option may result in an accident.
Caution
Mandatory
The main unit must be installed on a base that can bear the unit's weight.
If the unit is installed on a base that cannot withstand that weight, the unit may fall resulting in injury.
If braking is necessary (to hold motor shaft), install a mechanical brake.
The brake on the inverter will not function as a mechanical hold, and if used for that purpose, injury
may result.
Install the inverter in a well-ventilated indoor place and mount it on a flat metal plate in portrait orientation.
If you are installing more than one inverter, the separation between inverters should be at least 5 centimeters,
and they should be arranged in horizontal rows. If the inverters are horizontally arranged with no space
between them (side-by-side installation), peel off the ventilation seals on top of the inverter. It is necessary to
decrease the current if the inverter is operated at over 40C.

Q Calorific values of the inverter and the required ventilation

About 5% of the rated power of the inverter will be lost as a result of conversion from AC to DC or from DC to
AC. In order to suppress the rise in temperature inside the cabinet when this loss becomes heat loss, the
interior of the cabinet must be ventilated and cooled.
The amount of forcible air-cooling ventilation required and the necessary heat discharge surface quantity
when operating in a sealed cabinet according to motor capacity are as follows.
Note1: The heat loss for the optional external devices (input reactor, radio noise reduction filters, etc.) is not
included in the calorific values in the table

Q Panel designing taking into consideration the effects of noise

The inverter generates high frequency noise. When designing the control panel setup, consideration must be
given to that noise. Examples of measures are given below.
Wire so that the main circuit wires and the control circuit wires are separated. Do not place them in the
same conduit, do not run them parallel, and do not bundle them.
Provide shielding and twisted wire for control circuit wiring.
A-22
E6581381
Separate the input (power) and output (motor) wires of the main circuit. Do not place them in the same
conduit, do not run them parallel, and do not bundle them.
Ground the inverter ground terminals ( ).

Install surge suppressor on any magnetic contactor and relay coils used around the inverter.
Install noise filters if necessary.
Install EMC plate and use shielded wires.
EMC plate
Q Installing more than one unit in a cabinet

If you are installing two or more inverters in one cabinet, pay attention to the following.
Inverters may be installed side by side with each other with no space left between them.
When installing inverters side by side, detach the caution label on the top surface of each inverter and
use them where the ambient temperature will not rise above 40C.
When using inverters where the ambient temperature will rise above 40C, leave a space of 5 cm or
more between them and remove the caution label from the top of each inverter, and operate each
inverter at a current lower than the rated one.
Ensure a space of at least 20 centimeters on the top and bottom of the inverters.
Install an air deflecting plate so that the heat rising up from the inverter on the bottom does not affect the
inverter on the top.

Disassembly
prohibited
Prohibited
Don't stick your fingers into openings such as cable wiring hole and cooling fan covers.
This can result in electric shock or other injury.
Don't place or insert any kind of object into the inverter (electrical wire cuttings, rods, wires). This can
result in electric shock or fire.
Do not allow water or any other fluid to come in contact with the inverter.
That may result in electric shock or fire.
Caution
When transporting or carrying, do not hold by the front panel covers.
The covers may come off and the unit will drop out resulting in injury.
Prohibited
2.1
Cautions on wiring
Warning
Never remove the front cover when power is on or open door if enclosed in a cabinet.
The unit contains many high voltage parts and contact with them will result in electric shock.
Prohibited
Mandatory
If power is turned on without the front cover attached or closing door if enclosed in a cabinet. This can
result in electric shock or other injury.
Electrical construction work must be done by a qualified expert.
Connection of input power by someone who does not have that expert knowledge may result in fire or
electric shock.
Connect output terminals (motor side) correctly.
If the phase sequence is incorrect, the motor will operate in reverse and that may result in injury.
Wiring must be done after installation.
If wiring is done prior to installation that may result in injury or electric shock.
The following steps must be performed before wiring.
(1) Shut off all input power.
(3) Use a tester that can measure DC voltage (800VDC or more), and check to make sure that the
voltage to the DC main circuits (across PA/+ and PC/-) is 45V or less.
If these steps are not properly performed, the wiring will cause electric shock.
Tighten the screws on the terminal board to specified torque.
If the screws are not tightened to the specified torque, it may lead to fire.
B-1
E6581381
Warning
Be Grounded
Ground must be connected securely.

If the ground is not securely connected, it could lead to electric shock or fire when a malfunction or
current leak occurs.
Caution
Do not attach devices with built-in capacitors (such as noise filters or surge absorber) to the output
(motor side) terminal.
This could cause a fire.
Prohibited
Q Preventing radio noise

To prevent electrical interference such as radio noise, separately bundle wires to the main circuit's power
terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3) and wires to the motor terminals (U/T1, V/T2, W/T3).
Q Control and main power supply

The control power supply and the main circuit power supply for the VF-FS1 are the same.
See section 6.17.3.
If a malfunction or trip causes the main circuit to be shut off, control power will also be shut off. When
checking the cause of the malfunction or the trip, use the trip holding retention selection parameter.
Q Wiring
Because the space between the main circuit terminals is small use sleeved pressure terminals for the
connections. Connect the terminals so that adjacent terminals do not touch each other.
For ground terminal
use wires of the size that is equivalent to or larger than those given in table 10.1
and always ground the inverter (200V voltage class: D type ground, 400V class: C type ground).
Use as large and short a ground wire as possible and wire it as close as possible to the inverter.
For the sizes of electric wires used in the main circuit, see the table in 10.1.
The length of the main circuit wire in 10.1 should be no longer than 30 meters. If the wire is longer than
30 meters, the wire size (diameter) must be increased.

Q SINK (Negative) logic/SOURCE (Positive) logic (When the

inverter's internal power supply is used)
Current flowing out turns control input terminals on. These are called sink logic terminals.
The general used method in Europe is source logic in which current flowing into the input terminal turns it
on.
Sink logic is sometimes referred to as negative logic, and source logic is referred to as positive logic.
Each logic is supplied with electricity from either the inverter's internal power supply or an external power
supply, and its connections vary depending on the power supply used.

Q Selecting the functions of the VIA terminals between analog input and contact
input
The functions of the VIA terminal can be selected between analog input and contact input by changing
parameter settings (). (Factory default setting: Analog input)
When using these terminals as contact input terminals in a sink logic circuit, be sure to insert a resistor
between the P24 and VIA terminals. (Recommended resistance: 4.7K-1/2W)
In case source (Positive) logic circuit, connect the resistor between VIA and CC terminals.
When using the VIA terminal as a contact input terminal, be sure to turn the VIA (SW3) switch to the V
position. If no resistor is inserted or the VIA (SW3) slide switch is not turned to the V position, contact input
will be left always ON, which is very dangerous.
Switch between analog input and contact input before connecting the terminals to the control circuit
terminals. Otherwise the inverter or devices connected to it may be damaged.

E6581381
+ The figure on the right shows an example of the
connection of input terminals VIA when there is used
as contact input terminals. This example illustrates
the connection when the inverter is used in sink
(Negative) logic mode.
+ In case source (Positive) logic mode, connect the
resistor between VIA and CC.
Q Logic switching/Voltage-current output switching (slide switch)

(1)
(2)
Logic switching
Use SW4 to switch between logics.
Switch between logics before wiring to the inverter and without supplying power. If switching between
sink, source and PLC is done when power is turned on after switching or when the inverter is supplied
with power, the inverter might become damaged. Confirm it before supplying power.
Voltage-current output switching
Use the FM (SW2) switch to switch between voltage output and current output.
Switch the FM terminal's voltage-current output before wiring to inverter or without supplying power.

3. Operations
Warning
Prohibited
Mandatory
Do not touch inverter terminals when electrical power is going to the inverter even if the motor is
stopped.
Touching the inverter terminals while power is connected to it may result in electric shock.
Do not touch switches when the hands are wet and do not try to clean the inverter with a damp cloth.
Such practices may result in electric shock.
The motor may suddenly restart and that could result in injury.
Take measures for safety, e.g. attaching a cover to the motor, against accidents when the motor
unexpectedly restarts.
If power is turned on without the front cover attached or closing door if enclosed in a cabinet, that may
result in electric shock or other injury.
If the inverter begins to emit smoke or an unusual odor, or unusual sounds, immediately turn power off.
If the equipment is continued in operation in such a state, the result may be fire. Call your local sales
agency for repairs.
Always turn power off if the inverter is not used for long periods of time.
Turn input power on after attaching the front cover.
When enclosed inside a cabinet and using with the front cover removed, always close the cabinet
doors first and then turn power on. If the power is turned on with the front cover or the cabinet doors
open, it may result in electric shock.
Make sure that operation signals are off before resetting the inverter after malfunction.
If the inverter is reset before turning off the operating signal, the motor may restart suddenly causing
injury.
Caution
Do not touch heat radiating fins or discharge resistors.
These device are hot, and you'll get burned if you touch them.

+ Setting acceleration/deceleration time (,) in conformance with mean load allows optimum
setting that conforms to further changes in load.
+ Use this parameter after actually connecting the motor.

(Base frequency): See the motor's nameplate.
(Base frequency voltage): See the motor's nameplate.
(Motor rated current): See the motor's nameplate.
(No-load current of motor): Refer to the motor test report.
(Rated rotational speed of motor): See the motor's nameplate.
Set also other torque boost parameters ( to ), as required.

+ Motor constant must be set

If the motor you are using is a 4P Toshiba standard motor and if it has the same capacity as the inverter,
there is basically no need to set the motor constant. In any other case, be sure to set the parameters ,
, to properly.
Be sure to set (base frequency), (base frequency voltage), (rated current of motor) and
(rated speed of motor) correctly, as specified on the motors nameplate. For the setting of
(no-load current of motor), refer to the motor test report.
There are two procedures for setting the other motor constants.
1) The motor constant can be automatically set (auto-tuning). Set the extended parameter to .
For details, see selection 1 in 6.15.1.
2) Each motor constant can be set individually.
4) Vector control - increasing starting torque and achieving high-precision operation.

Setting of V/F control mode selection to (Vector control)
Using sensor-less vector control with a Toshiba standard motor will provide the highest torque at the low
speed ranges.
(1) Provides large starting torque.
(2) Effective when stable operation is required to move smoothly up from the low speeds.
(3) Effective in elimination of load fluctuations caused by motor slippage.

6) Operating a permanent magnet motor

Setting of V/F control mode selection to (PM motor control)
Permanent magnet motors (PM motors) that are light, small in size and highly efficient, as compared to
induction motors, can be operated in sensor-less operation mode.
Note that this feature can be used only for specific motors. For more information, contact your Toshiba dealer.
7) Precautions on vector control

1) When exercising vector control, be sure to set the extended parameters , , to
properly. Be sure to set (base frequency), (base frequency voltage), (rated current of
motor) and (rated speed of motor) correctly, as specified on the motors nameplate. For the
setting of (no-load current of motor), refer to the motor test report.
2) The sensorless vector control exerts its characteristics effectively in frequency areas below the base
frequency (). The same characteristics will not be obtained in areas above the base frequency.
3) Set the base frequency to anywhere from 40 to 120Hz during vector control (=).
E-21
E6581381
4) Use a general purpose squirrel-cage motor with a capacity that is the same as the inverter's rated capacity or
one rank below.
The minimum applicable motor capacity is 0.1kW.
5) Use a motor that has 2-8 P.
6) Always operate the motor in single operation (one inverter to one motor). Sensorless vector control
cannot be used when one inverter is operated with more than one motor.
7) The maximum length of wires between the inverter and motor is 30 meters. If the wires are longer than 30
meters, set standard auto-tuning with the wires connected to improve low-speed torque during sensorless
vector control.
However the effects of voltage drop cause motor-generated torque in the vicinity of rated frequency to be
somewhat lower.
8) Connecting a reactor or surge voltage suppression filter between the inverter and the motor may reduce
motor-generated torque. Setting auto-tuning may also cause a trip () rendering sensorless vector
control unusable.
8) The following table shows the relationship between the V/F control mode
selection () and the motor constant parameter.
Under normal conditions, be sure to set or adjust the parameters marked with .
When making detailed settings, adjust the parameters marked with c as well, if necessary.
Do not adjust the parameters marked with , because they are invalid.
(For instructions about how to adjust the parameter and later, see section 6.17.)

1) Setting the electronic thermal protection characteristics selection and

motor electronic thermal protection level 1 , 2
The electronic thermal protection characteristics selection is used to enable or disable the motor
overload trip function () and the overload stall function.
While the inverter overload trip () will be in constant detect operation, the motor overload trip ()
can be selected using the parameter
Explanation of terms
Overload stall: This is an optimum function for equipment such as fans, pumps and blowers with
variable torque characteristics that the load current decreases as the operating speed
decreases.
When the inverter detects an overload, this function automatically lowers the output
frequency before the motor overload trip is activated. This function operates a
motor at frequencies that allow the load current to keep its balance so that the
inverter can continue operation without being tripped.
[Using standard motors (other than motors intended for use with inverters)]
When a motor is used in the lower frequency range than the rated frequency, that will decrease the cooling
effects for the motor. This speeds up the start of overload detection operations when a standard motor is
used in order to prevent overheating.

Bias adjustment of VIA and VIB input terminals ( and )

To give leeway, the inverter is factory-adjusted by default so that it will not produce an output until a
certain amount of voltage is applied to the VIA and VIB input terminals. If you want to reduce the leeway,
set or to a larger value. Note that specifying a too large value may cause an output
frequency to be output, even though the operation frequency is 0 (zero) Hz.
Gain adjustment of VIA and VIB input terminals ( and )
The inverter is factory-adjusted by default so that the operation frequency can reach the maximum
frequency, even though the voltage and current to the VIA and VIB input terminals are below the
maximum levels. If you want to adjust the inverter so that it will output the maximum frequency at the
maximum voltage and current, set or to a smaller value. Note that specifying a too small
value may cause the operation frequency not to reach the maximum frequency, even though the
maximum voltage and current are applied.

The currents in the above figure are used as the basis to make calculations for inverter overload trip ().
If is set to or , trip will occur when the current increases and reaches the level above
which the carrier frequency is decreased automatically.
Random control is exercised when the motor is operated in a low-frequency range where it produces
annoying magnetic noise.
If the carrier frequency () is set above 7.1 kHz, the random control function will not be performed,
because the level of motor magnetic noise is low at high frequencies.
When the carrier frequency control mode selection () is set to or , the carrier frequency ()
should be set preferably 6 kHz. Otherwise the output voltage may drop.

frequency f1 (Hz) that is lower than command frequency f0 (Hz) by droop frequency f (Hz) when the
torque current is T1 (%). (See the above figure.)
The droop frequency f can be calculated, using the following expression.

Droop frequency f (Hz)=base frequency (Torque current T1 - )
When the torque current is above the specified droop insensitive torque band (), the frequency is
reduced during power running or increased during regenerative braking. The above figure shows an
example of the operating frequency during power running. During regenerative braking, control is
performed in such a way as to increase the frequency.
The droop function is activated above the torque current set with .
The amount of droop frequency f varies depending on the amount of torque current T1.
Note:
If the base frequency exceeds 100Hz, count it as 100Hz.

Control is exercised between the starting frequency () and the maximum frequency ().
[An example of calculation]

Parameter setting:Base frequency =60 (Hz), droop gain =10 (%)
Droop insensitive torque band =30 (%)
Droop frequency f (Hz) and operating frequency f1 when command frequency f0 is 50 (Hz) and torque
current T1 is 100 (%) are as follows.
Droop frequency f (Hz)= (T1 - )
=60 (Hz) 10 (%) (100 (%) - 30 (%))

respectively. If not, set the parameters correctly.
When using the inverter to control the operation of a motor smaller in capacity by one grade or more, be
sure to set the motor rated current setting parameter () properly.
Vector control may not operate properly if the motor capacity differs from the applicable rated capacity of the
inverter by more than two grades.
If current waveforms oscillate during operation, increase the speed control stability factor (). This is

(3) Tuning is performed when the motor starts for the first time after is set to .
Tuning is usually completed within three seconds. If it is aborted, the motor will trip with the display of and no constants will be set for that motor.
(4) High-speed motors, high-slip motors or other special motors cannot be auto-tuned. For these
motors, perform manual tuning using Selection 2 described below.
(5) The resulting insufficient motor torque during tuning could create a risk of machine stalling/falling.
(6) If auto-tuning is impossible or an "" auto-tuning error is displayed, perform manual tuning
with Selection 2.

: Using this parameter along with adjusts characteristics in a region in which the frequency
is above the base frequency (region where the field is weak).
* How to make adjustments in a region (region where magnetic field is weak) above the base
frequency
If a heavy load is applied instantaneously (or transiently), the motor may stall before the load
current reaches the current set with the stall prevention level 1 parameter (). In many
cases, this kind of stall can be avoided by gradually reducing the setting of .
A drop in supply voltage may cause fluctuations of the load current or vibration of the motor. In
some cases, such phenomena can be eliminated by changing the setting of to between
80 and 90. However, this may cause an increase in load current, so that it is also necessary to
adjust the setting of the electronic thermal protective level 1 parameter () properly
according to the motor capacity.
: There is no need to adjust this parameter under normal conditions. (Do not change the setting,
unless otherwise instructed by Toshiba technical staff)
: Specify a larger value for to secure as high an output voltage as possible in a region
(region where magnetic field is weak) above the base frequency. Setting to a larger value
may cause the motor to vibrate or gears to squeak. If such a phenomenon occurs, do not adjust
this parameter.
: Specify a larger value for if switching from a waveform to another results in a considerable
increase in vibration and noise in middle-speed range (region between the start frequency and the
base frequency). If no improvement can be made by specifying a larger value, do not adjust this
parameter.

6.21.2 Using the RS485

Q Setting the communication functions
Setting commands and frequencies by communications has priority over sending commands from the
operation panel or the terminal board. Command/frequency setting by communications can therefore be
enabled, irrespective of the setting in the command mode () or the frequency setting mode ().
When inverters are connected to each others, however, in order for slave inverters to recognize frequency
signals from the master inverter as frequency commands, the frequency setting mode selection 1 parameter
() provided for each slave inverter needs to be set to 4 (serial communications). Refer to the
COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT USER'S MANUAL for details.
However, when the input terminal function selection parameter is set to 48: SC/LC (Serial/Local selection),
the inverter can be operated with the settings of the command mode () or the frequency setting mode
() by external input.

Data is sent from the host computer.

Data from the computer is received at each inverter and the inverter numbers are checked.
The command is decoded and processed only by the inverter with the selected inverter number.
The selected inverter responds by sending the processing results, together with its own inverter
number, to the host computer.
As a result, only the selected inverter starts operating in accordance with the operation frequency
command by communicating independently.

9. Measures to satisfy the standards

9.1
How to cope with the CE directive

In Europe, the EMC directive and the low-voltage directive, which took effect in 1996 and 1997, respectively,
make it obligatory to put the CE mark on every applicable product to prove that it complies with the directives.
Inverters do not work alone but are designed to be installed in a control panel and always used in combination
with other machines or systems which control them, so they themselves are not considered to be subject to the
EMC directive. However, the CE mark must be put on all inverters because they are subject to the low-voltage
directive.
The CE mark must be put on all machines and systems with built-in inverters because such machines and
systems are subject to the above directives. It is the responsibility of the manufacturers of such final products to
put the CE mark on each one. If they are "final" products, they might also be subject to machine-related directives.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturers of such final products to put the CE mark on each one. In order to
make machines and systems with built-in inverters compliant with the EMC directive and the low-voltage directive,
this section explains how to install inverters and what measures should be taken to satisfy the EMC directive.
We have tested representative models with them installed as described later in this manual to check for
conformity with the EMC directive. However, we cannot check all inverters for conformity because whether or not
they conform to the EMC direction depends on how they are installed and connected. In other words, the
application of the EMC directive varies depending on the composition of the control panel with a built-in
inverter(s), the relationship with other built-in electrical components, the wiring condition, the layout condition, and
so on. Therefore, please verify yourself whether your machine or system conforms to the EMC directive.
9.1.1
About the EMC directive
Inverters themselves are not subject to approval for CE marking.
The CE mark must be put on every final product that includes an inverter(s) and a motor(s). The VF-FS1 series of
inverters complies with the EMC directive if an EMI filter recommended by Toshiba is connected to it and wiring is
carried out correctly.
The EMC standards are broadly divided into two categories; immunity- and emission-related standards, each of
which is further categorized according to the operating environment of each individual machine. Since inverters
are intended for use with industrial systems under industrial environments, they fall within the EMC categories
listed in Table 1 below. The tests required for machines and systems as final products are almost the same as
those required for inverters.

Measures to satisfy the EMC directive
This subsection explains what measures must be taken to satisfy the EMC directive.
(1) Insert a recommended EMI filter (Table 2) on the input side of the inverter to reduce and transmission noise
and radiation noise from input cables.
In the combinations listed in Table 2, Inverters are tested in these combination to see if they comply with
transmission noise standards. For inverters used in Japan, it is recommended to use the NF series of noise
filters.
Table 2 lists noise filters recommended for the inverters.

Use shielded power cables, such as inverter output cables, and shielded control cables. Route the cables
and wires so as to minimize their lengths. Keep a distance between the power cable and the control cable
and between the input and output wires of the power cable. Do not route them in parallel or bind them
together, instead cross at right angle.
Install the inverter and the filter on the same metal plate. It is more effective in limiting the radiation noise to
install the inverter in a sealed steel cabinet. Using wires as thick and short as possible, earth the metal plate
and the control panel securely with a distance kept between the earth cable and the power cable.
Route the EMI filter input and output wires apart from each other.
To suppress radiation noise from cables, ground all shielded cables through a noise cut plate.
It is effective to earth shielded cables in the vicinity of the inverter, cabinet and filter (within a radius of 10cm
from each of them). Inserting a ferrite core in a shielded cable is even more effective in limiting the radiation
noise.
To further limit the radiation noise, insert a zero-phase reactor in the inverter output line and insert ferrite
cores in the earth cables of the metal plate and cabinet.

About the low-voltage directive
The low-voltage directive provides for the safety of machines and systems. All Toshiba inverters are CEmarked in accordance with the standard EN/IEC 61800-5-1 specified by the low-voltage directive, and can
therefore be installed in machines or systems and imported without problem to European countries.
Applicable standard: EN/IEC 61800-5-1

E6581381
9.1.4
Measures to satisfy the low-voltage directive
When incorporating the inverter into a machine or system, it is necessary to take the following measures so that
the inverter satisfies the low-voltage directive.
(1) Install the inverter in a cabinet and ground the inverter enclosure. When doing maintenance, be extremely
careful not to put your fingers into the inverter through a wiring hole and touch a charged part, which may
occur depending on the model and capacity of the inverter used.
(2) Do not connect two or more wires to the main circuit earth terminal of the inverter. If necessary, install an
additional earth terminal on the metal plate on which the inverter is installed and connect another cable to it.
Or install the EMC plate (attached as standard) and another cable connect to earth terminal on the EMC
plate. Refer to the table 10.1 for earth cable sizes.
(3) Install a non-fuse circuit breaker or a fuse on the input side of the inverter.
9.2
Compliance with UL Standard and CSA Standard

The VF-FS1 models, that conform to the UL Standard and CSA Standard have the UL/CSA mark on the
nameplate.
9.2.1
Compliance with Installation
The VF-FS1 inverter must be installed in a panel, and used within the ambient temperature specification.
See section 1.4.4.
9.2.2
Compliance with Connection
Use the UL conformed cables (Rating 75 C or more) to the main circuit terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, U/T1, V/T2,
W/T3).
For instruction in the United States, Integral solid state short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit
protection. Branch circuit protection must be provided in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any
additional local codes.
For instruction in the Canada, Integral solid state short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit protection.
Branch circuit protection must be provided in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code and any additional
local codes.

Note 2: Choose the MCCB according to the power supply capacity.
For comply with UL and CSA standard, use the fuse certified by UL and CSA.
Note 3: When using on the motor side during commercial-power supply operation, choose the MC with class
AC-3 rated current for the motor rated current.
Note 4: Attach surge killers to the magnetic contactor and exciting coil of the relay.
Note 5: In the case the magnetic contactor (MC) with 2a-type auxiliary contacts is used for the control circuit,
raise the reliability of the contact by using 2a-type contacts in parallel connection.
J-2
E6581381
10.2 Installation of a magnetic contactor

If using the inverter without installing a magnetic contactor (MC) in the primary circuit, use an MCCB (with a
power cutoff device) to open the primary circuit when the inverter protective circuit is activated.
Q Magnetic contactor in the primary circuit

To detach the inverter from the power supply in any of the following cases, insert a magnetic contactor
(primary-side magnetic contactor) between the inverter and the power supply.
(1)
(2)
(3)
If the motor overload relay is tripped

If the protective detector (FL) built into the inverter is activated
In the event of a power failure (for prevention of auto-restart)
When using the inverter with no magnetic contactor (MC) on the primary side, install a non-fuse circuit
breaker with a voltage tripping coil instead of an MC and adjust the circuit breaker so that it will be tripped if
the protective relay referred to above is activated. To detect a power failure, use an undervoltage relay or
the like.
10
Example of connection of a magnetic contactor in the primary circuit
Notes on wiring
When frequently switching between start and stop, do not use the magnetic contactor on the primary side as
an on-off switch for the inverter.
Instead, stop and start the inverter by using terminals F and CC (forward run) or R and CC (reverse run).
Be sure to attach a surge killer to the exciting coil of the magnetic contactor (MC).
J-3
E6581381
Q Magnetic contactor in the secondary circuit

A magnetic contactor may be installed on the secondary side to switch controlled motors or supply
commercial power to the load when the inverter is out of operation.
Notes on wiring
Be sure to interlock the magnetic contactor on the secondary side with the power supply to prevent commercial
power from being applied to the inverter output terminals.
When installing a magnetic contactor (MC) between the inverter and the motor, avoid turning the magnetic
contactor on or off during operation. Turning the magnetic contactor on or off during operation causes a current
to rush into the inverter which could lead to malfunction.
10.3 Installation of an overload relay

1)
2)
3)
The VF-FS1 inverter has an electronic-thermal overload protective function.

In the following cases, however, an overload relay suitable for the adjustment of the motor electronic
thermal protection level () and appropriate to the motor used should be installed between the inverter
and the motor.
When using a motor with a current rating different to that of the corresponding Toshiba general-purpose
motor
When operating a single motor with an output smaller than that of the applicable standard motor or more
than one motor simultaneously.
When using the VF-FS1 inverter to operate a constant-torque motor, such as the Toshiba VF motor, adjust
the protection characteristic of the electronic thermal protection unit () to the VF motor use.
It is recommended to use a motor with a thermal relay embedded in the motor coil to give sufficient
protection to the motor, especially when it runs in a low-speed range.

13.2 Restoring the inverter from a trip

Do not reset the inverter when tripped because of a failure or error before eliminating the cause. Resetting the
tripped inverter before eliminating the problem causes it to trip again.
The inverter can be restored from a trip by any of the following operations:
(1) By turning off the power (Keep the inverter off until the LED turns off.)
Note: See section 6.17.3 (inverter trip retention selection ) for details.
(2) By means of an external signal (Short circuit between RES and CC on terminal board Open)
(3) By operation panel operation
(4) By inputting a trip clear signal from a remote input device
(Refer to the remote input device operating manual for details.)
To reset the inverter by operation panel operation, follow these steps.

14. Inspection and maintenance

Warning
Mandatory
The equipment must be inspected every day.

If the equipment is not inspected and maintained, errors and malfunctions may not be discovered
which could lead to accidents.
(1) Shut off all input power to the inverter.
(3) Use a tester that can measure DC voltages (800V DC or more), and check that the voltage to the
DC main circuits (across PA/+ and PC/-) does not exceed 45V.
Performing an inspection without carrying out these steps first could lead to electric shock.
Be sure to inspect the inverter regularly and periodically to prevent it from breaking down because of the environment
of use, such as temperature, humidity, dust and vibration, or deterioration of its components with aging.
14.1 Regular inspection

Since electronic parts are susceptible to heat, install the inverter in a cool, well-ventilated and dust-free place.
This is essential for increasing the service life.
The purpose of regular inspections is to maintain the correct environment of use and to find any sign of failure or
malfunction by comparing current operation data with past operation records.

Q Cautions about cleaning

To clean the inverter, wipe dirt off only its surface with a soft cloth but do not try to remove dirt or stains from
any other part. If stubborn stains persist, remove them by wiping gently with a cloth dampened with neutral
detergent or ethanol.
Never use any of the chemicals in the table below; the use of any of them may damage or peel the coating
away from molded parts (such as plastic covers and units) of the inverter.

14.2 Periodical inspection

Make a periodical inspection at intervals of 3 or 6 months depending on the operating conditions.
Warning
Mandatory

(1) Shut off all input power to the inverter.
(3) Use a tester that can measure DC voltages (800V DC or more), and check that the voltage to the
DC main circuits (across PA/+ and PC/-) does not exceed 45V.
Performing an inspection without carrying out these steps first could lead to electric shock.
Never replace any part.
This could be a cause of electric shock, fire and bodily injury. To replace parts, call the local sales
agency.
Prohibited
Q Check items
14
1. Check to see if all screwed terminals are tightened firmly. If any screw is found loose, tighten it again
with a screwdriver.
2. Check to see if all caulked terminals are fixed properly. Check them visually to see that there is no trace
of overheating around any of them.
3. Check all cables and wires for damage. Check them visually.
4. Remove dirt and dust. With a vacuum cleaner, remove dirt and dust. When cleaning, clean the vents
and the printed circuit boards. Always keep them clean to prevent an accident due to dirt or dust.
N-2
E6581381
5. If no power is supplied to the inverter for a long time, the performance of its capacity electrolytic
capacitor declines.
When leaving the inverter unused for a long time, supply it with electricity once every two years, for 5
hours or more each, to recover the performance of the capacity electrolytic capacitor. And also check the
function of the inverter. It is advisable not to supply the commercial power directly to the inverter but to
gradually increase the power supply voltage with a transformer, etc.
6. If the need arises, conduct an insulation test on the main circuit terminal board only, using a 500V
insulation tester. Never conduct an insulation test on control terminals other than terminals on the
printed circuit board or on control terminals. When testing the motor for insulation performance, separate
it from the inverter in advance by disconnecting the cables from the inverter output terminals U, V and W.
When conducting an insulation test on peripheral circuits other than the motor circuit, disconnect all
cables from the inverter so that no voltage is applied to the inverter during the test.
Note: Before an insulation test, always disconnect all cables from the main circuit terminal board and
test the inverter separately from other equipment..

)
)
It will be very helpful for detecting a defect if you always measure and record the ambient temperature
before, during and after the operation.
Q Replacement of expendable parts

The inverter is composed of a large number of electronic parts including semiconductor devices. The
following parts deteriorate with the passage of time because of their composition or physical properties. The
use of aged or deteriorated parts leads to degradation in the performance or a breakdown of the inverter. To
avoid such trouble, the inverter should be checked periodically.
Note: Generally, the life of a part depends on the ambient temperature and the conditions of use. The life
spans listed below are applicable to parts when used under normal environmental conditions (the
ambient temperature : 35 degree, the load factor : 80%, all day running).
N-3
14
E6581381
1) Cooling fan
The fan, which cools down heat-generating parts, has a service life of about 30,000 hours (about 2 or 3
years of continuous operation). The fan also needs to be replaced if it makes a noise or vibrates
abnormally.
2) Smoothing capacitor
Main circuit
The smoothing capacitors applied to this inverter in the main circuit DC section are film type
capacitors. Those life time in design value is 15 years, but it is recommended to replace them after it
is used for about 10 years under normal conditions. Since the smoothing capacitors are mounted on
a printed circuit board, it needs to be replaced together with the circuit board.
Control circuit
The smoothing aluminum electrolytic capacitor degrades in performance because of ripple current,
etc. The life time in design value is 15 years, but it is recommended to replace them after it is used for
about 10 years under normal conditions. Since the smoothing capacitors are mounted on a printed
circuit board, it needs to be replaced together with the circuit board.
<Criteria for appearance check>
Absence of liquid leak
Absence of case dampaged
Note: The operation time is helpful for roughly determining the time of replacement. For the replacement of
parts, contact your nearest Toshiba inverter distributor. For safetys sake, never replace any part on
your own. (Parts replacement alarms can be known by monitor and alarm output, if it is set.
See section 6.17.14.
Q Standard replacement cycles of principal parts

As guides, the table below lists part replacement cycles that were estimated based on the assumption that
the inverter would be used in a normal use environment under normal conditions (ambient temperature,
ventilation conditions, and energizing time). The replacement cycle of each part does not mean its service
life but the number of years over which its failure rate does not increase significantly.

14.4 Keeping the inverter in storage

Take the following precautions when keeping the inverter in storage temporarily or for a long period of time.
1.
2.
3.
Store the inverter in a well-ventilated place away from heat, damp, dust and metal powder.
If the printed circuit board in your inverter has an anti-static cover (black cover), do not leave it detached
from the circuit board during storage. The cover must be detached before turning on the inverter.
If no power is supplied to the inverter for a long time, the performance of its capacity electrolytic capacitor
declines.
When leaving the inverter unused for a long time, supply it with electricity once every two years, for 5 hours
or more each, to recover the performance of the capacity electrolytic capacitor. And also check the function
of the inverter. It is advisable not to supply the commercial power directly to the inverter but to gradually
increase the power supply voltage with a transformer, etc.

16. Disposal of the inverter

Caution
Mandatory
If you throw away the inverter, have it done by a specialist in industry waste disposal(*). If you throw
away the inverter by yourself, this can result in explosion of capacitor or produce noxious gases,
resulting in injury.
(*) Persons who specialize in the processing of waste and known as "industrial waste product collectors
and transporters" or "industrial waste disposal persons. "If the collection, transport and disposal of
industrial waste is done by someone who is not licensed for that job, it is a punishable violation of the
law. (Laws in regard to cleaning and processing of waste materials)
For safetys sake, do not dispose of the disused inverter yourself but ask an industrial waste disposal agent.
