Design information

1) When performing commercial power supply-inverter switchover operation, securely provide electrical and
mechanical interlocks for the MC1 and MC2 used for commercial power supply-inverter switchover.
When there is a commercial power supply-inverter switchover circuit as shown below, the inverter will be
damaged by leakage current from the power supply due to arcs generated at the time of switchover or
chattering caused by a sequence error.
2) If the machine must not be restarted when power is restored after a power failure, provide a magnetic
contactor in the inverter's primary circuit and also make up a sequence which will not switch on the start
signal.
If the start signal (start switch) remains on after a power failure, the inverter will automatically restart as
soon as the power is restored.
3) When the power supply used with the control circuit is different from the one used with the main circuit,
make up a circuit which will switch off the main circuit power supply terminals R, S, T <L
the power supply terminals R1, S1 <L
4) Since the input signals to the control circuit are on a low level, use two or more parallel micro signal
contacts or a twin contact for contact inputs to prevent a contact fault.
5) Do not apply a large voltage to the contact input terminals (e.g. STF) of the control circuit.
6) Always apply a voltage to the alarm output signal terminals (A, B, C) via a relay coil, lamp, etc.
7) Make sure that the specifications and rating match the system requirements.
