This parameter determines the AC motor drive’s Maximum Output Frequency. All the AC
motor drive frequency command sources (analog inputs 0 to +10V, 4 to 20mA and -10V to
+10V) are scaled to correspond to the output frequency range.
This value should be set according to the rated frequency of the motor as indicated on the
motor nameplate. Maximum Voltage Frequency determines the v/f curve ratio. For example, if
the drive is rated for 460 VAC output and the Maximum Voltage Frequency is set to 60Hz, the
drive will maintain a constant ratio of 7.66 V/Hz (460V/60Hz=7.66V/Hz). This parameter value
must be equal to or greater than the Mid-Point Frequency (Pr.01-03).
This parameter determines the Maximum Output Voltage of the AC motor drive. The Maximum
Output Voltage setting must be smaller than or equal to the rated voltage of the motor as
indicated on the motor nameplate. This parameter value must be equal to or greater than the
Mid-Point Voltage (Pr.01-04).
This parameter sets the Mid-Point Frequency of the V/f curve. With this setting, the V/f ratio
between Minimum Frequency and Mid-Point frequency can be determined. This parameter
must be equal to or greater than Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.01-05) and equal to or less
This parameter sets the Mid-Point Voltage of any V/f curve. With this setting, the V/f ratio
between Minimum Frequency and Mid-Point Frequency can be determined. This parameter
must be equal to or greater than Minimum Output Voltage (Pr.01-06) and equal to or less than
Maximum Output Voltage (Pr.01-02).
This parameter sets the Minimum Output Frequency of the AC motor drive. This parameter
must be equal to or less than Mid-Point Frequency (Pr.01-03).
The settings of 01-03, 01-04, and 01-06 are invalid in Vector Control mode.
This parameter sets the Minimum Output Voltage of the AC motor drive. This parameter must
be equal to or less than Mid-Point Voltage (Pr.01-04).
The settings of Pr.01-01 to Pr.01-06 have to meet the condition of Pr.01-02 ≥ Pr.01-04 ≥ Pr.01-
06 and Pr.01-01 ≥ Pr.01-03 ≥ Pr.01-05.
This parameter must be equal to or greater than the Output Frequency Lower Limit (Pr.01-08).
The Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01-00) is regarded as 100%.

The Upper/Lower Limits are to prevent operation errors and machine damage.
If the Output Frequency Upper Limit is 50Hz and the Maximum Output Frequency is 60Hz, the
Output Frequency will be limited to 50Hz.
If the Output Frequency Lower Limit is 10Hz, and the Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.01-05) is
set to 1.0Hz, then any Command Frequency between 1.0-10Hz will generate a 10Hz output
from the drive.
This parameter must be equal to or less than the Output Frequency Upper Limit (Pr.01-07).
The Output Frequency Lower Limit value = (Pr.01-00 * Pr.01-08) /100.
The Acceleration Time is used to determine the time required for the AC motor drive to ramp
from 0 Hz to Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01-00). The rate is linear unless S-Curve is
In the diagram shown below, the Acceleration/Deceleration Time of the AC motor drive is the
time between 0 Hz to Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01-00). Suppose the Maximum Output
Frequency is 60 Hz, Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.01-05) is 1.0 Hz, and
Acceleration/Deceleration Time is 10 seconds. The actual time for the AC motor drive to
accelerate from start-up to 60 Hz and to decelerate from 60Hz to 1.0Hz is in this case 9.83
seconds. ((60-1) * 10 /60=9.83secs).

With Auto acceleration / deceleration it is possible to reduce vibration and shocks during
starting/stopping the load.
During Auto acceleration the torque is automatically measured and the drive will accelerate to
the set frequency with the fastest acceleration time and the smoothest start current.
During Auto deceleration, regenerative energy is measured and the motor is smoothly stopped
with the fastest deceleration time.
But when this parameter is set to 04, the actual accel/decel time will be equal to or more than
parameter Pr.01-09 ~Pr.01-12 and Pr.01-18 to Pr.01-21.
Auto acceleration/deceleration makes the complicated processes of tuning unnecessary. It
makes operation efficient and saves energy by acceleration without stall and deceleration
without brake resistor.
In applications with brake resistor or brake unit, Auto deceleration shall not be used.

This parameter is used to ensure smooth acceleration and deceleration via S-curve.
The S-curve is disabled when set to 00 and enabled when set to 01 to 07.
Setting 01 gives the quickest and setting 07 the longest and smoothest S-curve.

These three parameters (Pr.02-10~02-12) are enabled when Pr.02-00 or Pr.02-13 are set to

The parameter determines how the motor is stopped when the AC motor drive receives a valid
stop command or detects External Fault.
1. Ramp: the AC motor drive decelerates to Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.01-05)
according to the deceleration time and then stops.
2. Coast: the AC motor drive stops the output instantly upon command, and the motor
free runs until it comes to a complete standstill.
3. The motor stop method is usually determined by the characteristics of the motor load and
how frequently it is stopped.
(1) It is recommended to use “ramp to stop” for safety of personnel or to prevent
material from being wasted in applications where the motor has to stop after the
drive is stopped. The deceleration time has to be set accordingly.

This parameter sets the function of the AFM output 0~+10VDC (ACM is common).
This parameter sets the voltage range of the analog output signal.
When Pr.03-05 is set to 0, the analog output voltage is directly proportional to the output
frequency of the AC motor drive. With Pr.03-06 set to 100%, the Maximum Output Frequency
(Pr.01-00) of the AC motor drive corresponds to +10VDC on the AFM output.
Similarly, if Pr.03-05 is set to 1, the analog output voltage is directly proportional to the output
current of the AC drive. With Pr.03-06 set to 100%, then 2.5 times the rated current
corresponds to +10VDC on the AFM output.
NOTE
Any type of voltmeter can be used. If the meter reads full scale at a voltage less than 10 volts,
the parameter 03-06 should be set using the following formula:
Pr. 03-06 = ((meter full scale voltage)/10) x 100%
For Example: When using the meter with full scale of 5 volts, adjust Pr.03-06 to 50%. If
Pr.03-05 is set to 0, then 5VDC will correspond to Maximum Output Frequency.
This parameter determines the multiplying factor for the AC drives digital output frequency at
the digital output terminals (DFM-DCM). The pulse frequency is equal to the AC motor drive
output frequency multiplied by Pr.03-07. (Pulse frequency = actual output frequency x Pr.03-07)
This parameter sets the count value of the internal counter. The external terminal TRG
increases the internal counter. Upon completion of counting, the specified output terminal will

When the display shows c5555, the drive has counted 5,555 times. If display shows c5555•, it
When the counter value reaches this value, the corresponding multi-function output terminal

In this example, the input is programmed to run a motor in both forward and reverse direction. The
motor will be idle when the potentiometer position is at mid-point of its scale. Using this example will
disable the external FWD and REV controls.
In this example, the use of negative slope is shown. Negative slopes are used in applications for
control of pressure, temperature or flow. The sensor that is connected to the input generates a
large signal (10V or 20mA) at high pressure or flow. With negative slope settings, the AC motor
drive will slow stop the motor. With these settings the AC motor drive will always run in only one
direction (reverse). This can only be changed by exchanging 2 wires to the motor.

This parameter is to delay the signals on digital input terminals. 1 unit is 2 msec, 2 units are 4
msec, etc. The delay time is used to debounce noisy signals that could cause the digital
terminals to malfunction.
The simple index function is used to position the machine/motor at the same position when it
stops. The function should be used with setting 34 for Multi-Function Input Terminals (04-04 to
04-09).
The function diagram is shown below. The machine is driven by a gear motor or other
reduction gearbox. The trigger position of the proximity sensor is used as the starting point of
the index angle. When the stop command is initiated, the AC motor drive will not decelerate
until the proximity sensor is triggered. After that the AC motor drive begins to decelerate and
stop according to the Pr.04-24 and Pr.04-25.

During deceleration, the DC bus voltage may exceed its Maximum Allowable Value due to
motor regeneration. When this function is enabled, the AC motor drive will not decelerate
further and keep the output frequency constant until the voltage drops below the preset value
again.
Over-Voltage Stall Prevention must be disabled (Pr.06-00=00) when a brake unit or brake
resistor is used.
NOTE
With moderate inertia load, over-voltage stall prevention will not occur and the real deceleration time
will be equal to the setting of deceleration time. The AC drive will automatically extend the
deceleration time with high inertia loads. If the deceleration time is critical for the application, a brake
resistor or brake unit should be used.

This parameter determines the operation mode of the drive after the over-torque (OL2) is
detected via the following method: if the output current exceeds the over-torque detection level
(Pr.06-04) longer than the setting of Pr.06-05 Over-Torque Detection Time, the warning
message “OL2” is displayed. If a Multi-Functional Output Terminal is set to over-torque
detection (Pr.03-00~03-03=04), the output is on. Please refer to Pr.03-00~03-03 for details.
This parameter sets the time for how long over-torque must be detected before “OL2” is
displayed.

In Pr.06-08 to Pr.06-11 the four most recent faults that occurred, are stored. After removing the
cause of the fault, use the reset command to reset the drive.
If output current is lower than the setting Pr.06-12 for a time that exceeds Pr.06-13 setting
during operation, the AC drive will warn per Pr.06-14 setting. If Pr.06-14 is set to 03, the AC
drive will restart after the delay time set by Pr.06-15 is up.
When the DC BUS voltage is lower than the setting of Pr.06-16 for a time exceeding the
setting of Pr.06-17, the AC motor drive will output a signal when Pr.03-00 ~ Pr.03-03 is set to
28.

Use the following formula to calculate the percentage value entered into this parameter:
(Motor Current / AC Drive Current) x 100%
The rated current of the AC drive is regarded as 100%. The setting of the Motor no-load
current will affect the slip compensation.
The setting value must be less than Pr.07-00 (Motor Rated Current).
This parameter may be set so that the AC drive will increase its voltage output to obtain a
higher torque. Only to be used for V/f control mode.
Too high torque compensation can overheat the motor.
While driving an asynchronous motor, increasing the load on the AC motor drive will cause an
increase in slip and decrease in speed. This parameter may be used to compensate the slip by
increasing the output frequency. When the output current of the AC motor drive is bigger than
the motor no-load current (Pr.07-01), the AC drive will adjust its output frequency according to
this parameter.
07 - 04 Number of Motor Poles Unit: 2
Settings 02 to 10 Factory Setting: 04
This parameter sets the number of motor poles (must be an even number).
Start Auto Tuning by pressing RUN key after this parameter is set to 01 or 02.
When set to 01, it will only auto detect R1 value and Pr.07-01 must be input manually. When
set to 02, the AC motor drive should be unloaded and the values of Pr.07-01 and Pr.07-06 will
be set automatically.
The steps to AUTO-Tuning are:
1. Make sure that all the parameters are set to factory settings and the motor wiring is
correct.
2. Make sure the motor has no-load before executing auto-tuning and the shaft is not
connected to any belt or gear motor.
3. Fill in Pr.01-01, Pr.01-02, Pr.07-00, Pr.07-04 and Pr.07-08 with correct values.
4. After Pr.07-05 is set to 2, the AC motor drive will execute auto-tuning immediately after
receiving a ”RUN” command. (Note: The motor will run!). The total auto tune time will be
15 seconds + Pr.01-09 + Pr.01-10. Higher power drives need longer Accel/|Decel time
(factory setting is recommended). After executing, Pr.07-05 is set to 0.
5. After successful execution, the drive will set Pr.07-01 and Pr.07-06 accordingly. If not,
repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. Then you can set Pr.00-09 to 02/03 and set other parameters according to your
application requirement.
NOTE
1. In vector control mode it is not recommended to have motors run in parallel.
2. It is not recommended to use vector control mode if motor rated power exceeds the rated power of
the AC motor drive.

Example: when Pr.07-08=5Hz and Pr.07-09=150%, the upper limit of the compensation

Setting Pr.07-12 and Pr.07-13 changes the response time for the compensation.
When Pr.07-12 and Pr.07-13 are set to 10.00 sec, its response time for the compensation will
be the longest. But if the settings are too short, unstable system may occur.
Pr.07-14 and Pr.07-15 are used to record the motor operation time. They can be cleared by
setting to 00 and time is less than 60 seconds is not recorded.
This parameter sets the level of DC Brake Current output to the motor during start-up and
stopping. When setting DC Brake Current, the Rated Current (Pr.00-01) is regarded as 100%.
It is recommended to start with a low DC Brake Current Level and then increase until proper
holding torque has been attained.
This parameter determines the duration of the DC Brake current after a RUN command. When
the time has elapsed, the AC motor drive will start accelerating from the Minimum Frequency
(Pr.01-05).
This parameter determines the duration of the DC Brake current during stopping. If stopping
with DC Brake is desired, Pr.02-02 Stop Method must be set to 00 or 02 for RAMP stop.

DC Brake during Start-up is used for loads that may move before the AC drive starts, such as
fans and pumps. Under such circumstances, DC Brake can be used to hold the load in
position before setting it in motion.
DC Brake during stopping is used to shorten the stopping time and also to hold a stopped load
in position. For high inertia loads, a dynamic brake resistor or brake unit may also be needed
for fast decelerations.
This parameter determines the operation mode when the AC motor drive restarts from a
If the duration of a power loss is less than this parameter setting, the AC motor drive will
resume operation. If it exceeds the Maximum Allowable Power Loss Time, the AC motor drive
output is then turned off (coast stop).
The selected operation after power loss in Pr.08-04 is only executed when the maximum
allowable power loss time is ≤5 seconds and the AC motor drive displays “Lu”.
But if the AC motor drive is powered off due to overload, even if the maximum allowable power
loss time is ≤5 seconds, the operation mode as set in Pr.08-04 is not executed. In that case it
starts up normally.
When momentary power loss is detected, the AC drive will block its output and then wait for a
specified period of time (determined by Pr.08-06, called Base-Block Time) before resuming
operation. This parameter should be set at a value to ensure that any residual regeneration
voltage from the motors on the output has disappeared before the drive is activated again.
This parameter also determines the waiting time before resuming operation after External
Baseblock and after Auto Restart after Fault (Pr.08-14).
When using a PG card with PG (encoder), speed search will begin at the actual PG (encoder)
feedback speed and settings 01 and 02 in Pr.08-04 will be invalid.
Following a momentary power loss, the AC motor drive will start its speed search operation
only if the output current is greater than the value set by Pr.8-07. When the output current is
less than the value of Pr.8-07, the AC motor drive output frequency is at “speed
synchronization point”. The drive will start to accelerate or decelerate back to the operating

Only after an over-current OC or over-voltage OV fault occurs, the AC motor drive can be
reset/restarted automatically up to 10 times.
Setting this parameter to 00 will disable the reset/restart operation after any fault has occurred.
When enabled, the AC motor drive will restart with speed search, which starts at the frequency
before the fault. To set the waiting time before restart after a fault, please set Pr. 08-06 Base
Block Time for Speed Search.
For example: If Pr.08-14 is set to 10 and Pr.08-21 is set to 600s (10 min), and if there is no
fault for over 600 seconds from the restart for the previous fault, the Auto Reset Time for

Output Frequency
The rated voltage of the motor is usually 200V/230VAC 50Hz/60Hz and the input voltage of
the AC motor drive may vary between 180V to 264 VAC 50Hz/60Hz. Therefore, when the AC
motor drive is used without AVR function, the output voltage will be the same as the input
voltage. When the motor runs at voltages exceeding the rated voltage with 12% - 20%, its
lifetime will be shorter and it can be damaged due to higher temperature, failing insulation and
unstable torque output.
AVR function automatically regulates the AC motor drive output voltage to the Maximum
Output Voltage (Pr.01-02). For instance, if Pr.01-02 is set at 200 VAC and the input voltage is
at 200V to 264VAC, then the Maximum Output Voltage will automatically be reduced to a

This parameter is used for starting and stopping a motor with high inertia. A motor with high
inertia will take a long time to stop completely. By setting this parameter, the user does not
need to wait for the motor to come to a complete stop before restarting the AC motor drive. If a
PG card and encoder is used on the drive and motor, then the speed search will start from the
speed that is detected by the encoder and accelerate quickly to the commanded frequency.
Pr.08-04 and Pr.08-06 will be disabled when using this parameter with PG feedback control.
CAUTION!
Please make sure Pr.07-04, Pr.10-10, and Pr.10-11 are set correctly. An incorrect setting may cause
the motor to exceed its speed limit and permanent damage to the motor and machine can occur.
This parameter determines the start value of the speed search frequency.

Note that the measured variable (feedback) controls the output frequency (Hz). Select input
terminal accordingly. Make sure this parameter setting does not conflict with the setting for
Pr.02-00 (Master Frequency).
When Pr.02-00 is set to 01 or 02, the set point (Master Frequency) for PID control is obtained
from the AVI/ACI external terminal (0 to +10V or 4-20mA) or from multi-step speed. When
Pr.02-00 is set to 00, the set point is obtained from the keypad.
This is the gain adjustment over the feedback detection value. Refer to PID control block
diagram in Pr.10-06 for detail.
This parameter specifies proportional control and associated gain (P). If the other two gains (I
and D) are set to zero, proportional control is the only one effective. With 10% deviation (error)
and P=1, the output will be P x10% x Master Frequency.
NOTE
The parameter can be set during operation for easy tuning.
This parameter specifies integral control (continual sum of the deviation) and associated gain
(I). When the integral gain is set to 1 and the deviation is fixed, the output is equal to the input
(deviation) once the integral time setting is attained.
NOTE
The parameter can be set during operation for easy tuning.
This parameter specifies derivative control (rate of change of the input) and associated gain
(D). With this parameter set to 1, the PID output is equal to differential time x (present
deviation − previous deviation). It increases the response speed but it may cause over-
compensation.
NOTE
The parameter can be set during operation for easy tuning.
This parameter defines an upper bound or limit for the integral gain (I) and therefore limits the
Master Frequency.
The formula is: Integral upper bound = Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.01-00) x (Pr.10-05).

There are many noises surround the AC motor drives and invade it by radiation or power circuit. It
may cause the misoperation of control circuit and even damage the AC motor drive. Of course, that
is a solution to increase the noise tolerance of AC motor drive. But it is not the best one due to the
limit. Therefore, solve it from the outside as following will be the best.
1. Add surge suppressor on the relay or contact to suppress switching surge between ON/OFF.
2. Shorten the wiring length of the control circuit or serial circuit and separate from the main AC
circuit wiring.
3. Comply with the wiring regulation for those shielded wire and use isolation amplifier for long
wire length.
4. The grounding terminal should comply with the local regulation and ground independently, i.e.
not to have common ground with electric welding machine and power equipment.
5. Connect a noise filter at the input terminal of the AC motor drive to prevent noise from power
circuit.
In a word, three-level solutions for electromagnetic noise are “no product”, “no spread” and “no
receive”.
Since the AC motor drive is an electronic device, you should comply with the environmental
condition stated in the Chapter 2.1. The following steps should also be followed.
1. To prevent vibration, anti-vibration spacer is the last choice. The vibration tolerance must be
within the specification. The vibration effect is equal to the mechanical stress and it cannot
occur frequently, continuously or repeatedly to prevent damaging to the AC motor drive.
2. Store in a clean and dry location free from corrosive fumes/dust to prevent corrosion and poor
contacts. It also may cause short by low insulation in a humid location. The solution is to use
both paint and dust-proof. For particular occasion, use the enclosure with whole-seal structure.
3. The surrounding temperature should be within the specification. Too high or low temperature
will affect the lifetime and reliability. For semiconductor components, damage will occur once
any specification is out of range. Therefore, it is necessary to clean and periodical check for the
air cleaner and cooling fan besides having cooler and sunshade. In additional, the
microcomputer may not work in extreme low temperature and needs to have heater.
4. Store within a relative humidity range of 0% to 90% and non-condensing environment. Do not
turn off the air conditioner and have exsiccator for it.
AC motor drive may affect the operation of other machine due to many reasons. The solutions are
as follows.
multiple circuit.
3. If phase lead capacitors are used (never on the AC motor drive output!!), use serial
reactors to prevent capacitors damage from high harmonics.
serial reactor
Modern AC motor drives are based on solid state electronics technology. Preventive maintenance
is required to operate this AC motor drive in its optimal condition, and to ensure a long life. It is
recommended to have a check-up of the AC motor drive performed by a qualified technician.
Daily Inspection:
Basic check-up items to detect if there were any abnormalities during operation are:
Periodic Inspection:
Before the check-up, always turn off the AC input power and remove the cover. Wait at least 10
minutes after all display lamps have gone out, and then confirm that the capacitors have fully
discharged by measuring the voltage between +1/+2 and -. The voltage between +1/+2 and -
should be less than 25VDC.

B.1 All Brake Resistors & Brake Units Used in AC Motor Drives
Note: Please only use DELTA resistors and recommended values. Other resistors and values will
void Delta’s warranty. Please contact your nearest Delta representative for use of special resistors.
For instance, in 460V series, 100hp/75kW, the AC motor drive needs 2 brake units with total of 16
brake resistors, so each brake unit uses 8 brake resistors. The brake unit should be at least 10 cm
away from AC motor drive to avoid possible interference. Refer to the “Brake Unit Module User
Manual” for further details.
Applicable Full Resistor Min. Equivalent
Brake Unit Brake Resistors Brake
Voltage
NOTE
1. Please select the factory setting resistance value (Watt) and the duty-cycle value (ED%).
2. If damage to the drive or other equipment are due to the fact that the brake resistors and the
brake modules in use are not provided by Delta, the warranty will be void.
3. Take into consideration the safety of the environment when installing the brake resistors.
4. If the minimum resistance value is to be utilized, consult local dealers for the calculation of the
Watt figures.
5. Please select thermal relay trip contact to prevent resistor over load. Use the contact to switch
power off to the AC motor drive!
6. When using more than 2 brake units, equivalent resistor value of parallel brake unit can’t be
less than the value in the column “Minimum Equivalent Resistor Value for Each AC Drive” (the
right-most column in the table). An example of 575V 100HP, the min. equivalent resistor value
for each AC motor drive is 12.5Ω with 2 brake units connection. Therefore, the equivalent
resistor value for each brake unit should be 25Ω.
7. Please read the wiring information in the user manual of brake unit thoroughly prior to taking
into operation.
T1 ED% = T1/T0x100(%)
Brake Time

9. For safety reasons, install a thermal overload relay between brake unit and brake resistor.
Together with the magnetic contactor (MC) in the mains supply circuit to the drive it offers
protection in case of any malfunctioning. The purpose of installing the thermal overload relay is
to protect the brake resistor against damage due to frequent brake or in case the brake unit is
continuously on due to unusual high input voltage. Under these circumstances the thermal
overload relay switches off the power to the drive. Never let the thermal overload relay switch
off only the brake resistor as this will cause serious damage to the AC Motor Drive.

Installation
All electrical equipment, including AC motor drives, will generate high-frequency/low-frequency
noise and will interfere with peripheral equipment by radiation or conduction when in operation. By
using an EMI filter with correct installation, much of the interference can be eliminated. It is
recommended to use DELTA EMI filter to have the best interference elimination performance.
We assure that it can comply with following rules when AC motor drive and EMI filter are installed
and wired according to user manual:
EN61000-6-4
EN61800-3: 1996 + A11: 2000
EN55011 (1991) Class A Group 1 (1st Environment, restricted distribution)
General precaution
1. EMI filter and AC motor drive should be installed on the same metal plate.
2. Please install AC motor drive on same footprint with EMI filter or install EMI filter as close as
possible to the AC motor drive.
3. All wiring should be as short as possible.
4. Metal plate should be grounded.
5. The cover of EMI filter and AC motor drive or grounding should be fixed on the metal plate and
the contact area should be as large as possible.
NOTE
When a thermal O/L relay protected by motor is used between AC motor drive and motor, it may
malfunction (especially for 460V series), even if the length of motor cable is only 165 ft (50m) or less.
To prevent it, please use AC reactor and/or lower the carrier frequency (Pr. 02-03 PWM carrier
frequency).
NOTE
Never connect phase lead capacitors or surge absorbers to the output terminals of the AC motor
drive.
If the length is too long, the stray capacitance between cables will increase and may cause
leakage current. It will activate the protection of over current, increase leakage current or not
insure the correction of current display. The worst case is that AC motor drive may be
damaged.
If more than one motor is connected to the AC motor drive, the total wiring length is the sum
of the wiring length from AC motor drive to each motor.

The choice of the right AC motor drive for the application is very important and has great influence
on its lifetime. If the capacity of AC motor drive is too large, it cannot offer complete protection to
the motor and motor maybe damaged. If the capacity of AC motor drive is too small, it cannot offer
the required performance and the AC motor drive maybe damaged due to overloading.
But by simply selecting the AC motor drive of the same capacity as the motor, user application
requirements cannot be met completely. Therefore, a designer should consider all the conditions,
including load type, load speed, load characteristic, operation method, rated output, rated speed,
power and the change of load capacity. The following table lists the factors you need to consider,
depending on your requirements.

Selection Note
1. When the AC Motor Drive is connected directly to a large-capacity power transformer
(600kVA or above) or when a phase lead capacitor is switched, excess peak currents
may occur in the power input circuit and the converter section may be damaged. To avoid
this, use an AC input reactor (optional) before AC Motor Drive mains input to reduce the
current and improve the input power efficiency.
2. When a special motor is used or more than one motor is driven in parallel with a single
AC Motor Drive, select the AC Motor Drive current ≥1.25x(Sum of the motor rated
currents).
3. The starting and accel./decel. characteristics of a motor are limited by the rated current
and the overload protection of the AC Motor Drive. Compared to running the motor D.O.L.
(Direct On-Line), a lower starting torque output with AC Motor Drive can be expected. If
higher starting torque is required (such as for elevators, mixers, tooling machines, etc.)
use an AC Motor Drive of higher capacity or increase the capacities for both the motor
and the AC Motor Drive.
4. When an error occurs on the drive, a protective circuit will be activated and the AC Motor
Drive output is turned off. Then the motor will coast to stop. For an emergency stop, an
external mechanical brake is needed to quickly stop the motor.
3. Motor accel./decel. time is determined by motor rated torque, load torque, and load inertia.
4. If the stall prevention function is activated, the accel./decel. time is automatically extended
to a length that the AC Motor Drive can handle. If the motor needs to decelerate within a
certain time with high load inertia that can’t be handled by the AC Motor Drive in the
required time, either use an external brake resistor and/or brake unit, depending on the
model, (to shorten deceleration time only) or increase the capacity for both the motor and
the AC Motor Drive.
Standard motor
When using the AC Motor Drive to operate a standard 3-phase induction motor, take the
following precautions:
1. The energy loss is greater than for an inverter duty motor.
2. Avoid running motor at low speed for a long time. Under this condition, the motor
temperature may rise above the motor rating due to limited airflow produced by the
motor’s fan. Consider external forced motor cooling.
3. When the standard motor operates at low speed for long time, the output load must be
decreased.
4. The load tolerance of a standard motor is as follows:
Load duty-cycle
25%
40% 60%
100
82
70
torque(%)
60
50 continuous

3 6 20 60
Frequency (Hz)
5. If 100% continuous torque is required at low speed, it may be necessary to use a special
inverter duty motor.

6. Motor dynamic balance and rotor endurance should be considered once the operating
speed exceeds the rated speed (60Hz) of a standard motor.
7. Motor torque characteristics vary when an AC Motor Drive instead of commercial power
supply drives the motor. Check the load torque characteristics of the machine to be
connected.
8. Because of the high carrier frequency PWM control of the VFD series, pay attention to the
9. The motor fan will be very noisy when the motor speed exceeds 50 or 60Hz.
Special motors:
1. Pole-changing (Dahlander) motor:
The rated current is differs from that of a standard motor. Please check before operation
and select the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. When changing the pole number
the motor needs to be stopped first. If over current occurs during operation or
regenerative voltage is too high, please let the motor free run to stop (coast).
2. Submersible motor:
The rated current is higher than that of a standard motor. Please check before operation
and choose the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. With long motor cable between
AC motor drive and motor, available motor torque is reduced.
3. Explosion-proof (Ex) motor:
Needs to be installed in a safe place and the wiring should comply with the (Ex)
requirements. Delta AC Motor Drives are not suitable for (Ex) areas with special
precautions.
will be different and depending on brand. The lubricating function for operating long time
at low speed and for high-speed operation needs to be considered carefully.
5. Synchronous motor:
The rated current and starting current are higher than for standard motors. Please check
before operation and choose the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. When the AC
motor drive operates more than one motor, please pay attention to starting and changing
the motor.
