Comparisons with commercial power operation The VF-AS1 Inverter employs the sinusoidal PWM system to supply the motor. This is why compared to operation with a commercial power there will be a slight increase in motor temperature, noise and vibration. The main supply voltage and current will also be distorted due to harmonic distortion while increase the line current.
Page 31
E6581301 Braking a motor when power supply is lost A motor with its power cut off goes into freewheel, 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.
Page 32
E6581301 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 stall prevention level, overcurrent level and the motor electronic thermal protection must be readjusted.
E6581301 1.4.3 What to do about the leak current • @ • @ Warning 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 current's value is affected by the carrier frequency and the length of the input/output wires.
Page 34
E6581301 Remedies: Use the electronic thermal overload built into the inverter. The setting of the electronic thermal overload is done using parameter Reduce the inverter's PWM carrier frequency. However, that will increase the motor's acoustic noise. The setting of PWM carrier frequency is done with the parameter This can be improved by installing 0.1µ~0.5µF-1000V film capacitor to the input/output terminals of each phase in the thermal overload relay.
E6581301 1.4.4 Installation Installation environment The VF-AS1 Inverter is an electronic control instrument. Take full consideration to installing it in the proper operating environment. • @ • @ Danger • E Do not place any inflammable substances near the VF-AS1 Inverter.
Please consult with your supplier about these measures. • E If the VF-AS1 Inverter is installed near any of the equipment listed below, provide measures to insure against errors in operation. Solenoids: Attach surge suppressor on coil. Brakes: Attach surge suppressor on coil.
Page 37
E6581301 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 5cm, and they should be arranged in horizontal rows.

E6581301 Calorific values of the inverter and the required ventilation The energy loss when the inverter converts power from AC to DC and then back to AC is about 5%. 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.
E6581301 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. • E 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.
E6581301 2. Connection equipment • @ • @ Danger • E Never disassemble, modify or repair. This can result in electric shock, fire and injury. For repairs, call your sales agency. Disassembly prohibited • E 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.
Page 42
Control and main power supply The control power supply and the main circuit power supply for the VF-AS1 are the same. If a malfunction or trip causes the main circuit to be shut off, control power will also be shut off.
E6581301 Standard connections • @ • @ Danger • E Do not connect input power to the output (motor side) terminals (U/T1, V/T2, W/T3). Connecting input power to the output could destroy the inverter or cause a fire. • E Do not connect a regenerative braking resistor to any DC terminal (between PA/+ and PC/-, or between PO and PC/-).

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-AS1 series of inverters complies with the EMC directive if an EMC filter recommended by Toshiba is connected to it and wiring is carried out correctly.
E6581301 9.1.2 Measures to satisfy the EMC directive Concrete measures for EMC directive of CE markings are shown below. Models with a built-in EMC filter (1) 200V class: VFAS1-2004PL~2075PL 400V class: VFAS1-4007PL~4500KPC The above mentioned models install EMC noise filter inside. So the conducted and radiated noise can be reduced, optional EMI noise filters are not needed.
Page 223
E6581301 (2) Use shielded power cables and control signal cables for the input and output lines of the inverter. 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.
Page 224
E6581301 When an external EMC filter is added (1) Additional external EMC filters have the further effect of suppressing conduction and radiation noises. Use the recommended EMC noise filter specified in Table 3. This combination of inverter and filter was used when examining the inverter for compliance with the EMC directive.

Type : NF series 9.1.3 Low-voltage directive The low-voltage directive provides for the safety of machines and systems. All Toshiba inverters are CE-marked in accordance with the standard EN 50178 specified by the low-voltage directive, and can therefore be installed in machines or systems and imported without a problem to European countries.
Fig. 4 Measures to be taken to satisfy the UL/CSA standards All VF-AS1 series inverters are certified by UL and CSA, and have nameplates with UL and CSA markings. 9.2.1 Caution in installing the inverter A UL certificate was granted on the assumption that the inverter would be installed in a cabinet. Therefore, install the inverter in a cabinet and if necessary, take measures to maintain the ambient temperature (temperature in the cabinet) within the specified temperature range.

(*3): Choose the MCCB according to the power supply capacity. For comply with UL and CSA standard, use the fuse certified by UL and CSA.
E6581301 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. If using a braking resistor or braking resistor unit, install a magnetic contactor (MC) or no-fuse breaker with a power cutoff device to the power supply of the inverter, so that the power circuit opens when the failure detection relay (FL) in the inverter or the external overload relay is activated.
When operating multiple motors at a time, be sure to install an overload relay for each individual motor. When using the VF-AS1 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.
