E6581595 Notes on the application 1.4.1 Motors When the VF-nC3 and the motor are used in conjunction, pay attention to the following items. Caution Use an inverter that conforms to the specifications of power supply and three-phase induction motor being operated. If the inverter being used does not conform to those specifications, not only will the three-phase induction motor not rotate correctly, but it may cause serious accidents through overheating Mandatory and fire.
Page 25
E6581595 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.
Page 26
E6581595 Motors with a brake When motors with a brake are directly connected to the inverter's output, the brake cannot be released at startup because of low voltage. Wire the brake circuit separately from the main circuit. 3-phase FLB FLC S2 (ST) NO CC 3-phase power...
Page 27
E6581595 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 and capacitor destruction.
Page 28
E6581595 Disposal Refer to chapter 16. 1.4.3 What to do about the leakage 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 current’s value is affected by the carrier frequency and the length of the input/output wires. Mandatory Test and adopt the following remedies against leak current.
Page 29
E6581595 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. (Refer to section 1.3.3-2)) 2. Reduce : PWM carrier frequency. However the motor magnetic noise is increased. (Refer to section 6.11) 3.
Page 30
E6581595 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), because the leakage current will increase in proportion to the motor's rated current.
E6581595 1.4.4 Installation Installation environment The VF-nC3 Inverter is an electronic control instrument. Take full consideration to installing it in the proper operating environment. Warning Do not place any inflammable substances near the VF-nC3 Inverter. If an accident occurs in which flame is emitted, this could lead to fire. ...
Page 32
If the VF-nC3 Inverter is installed in a location that is subject to vibration, anti-vibration measures are required. Please consult with Toshiba about these measures. If the VF-nC3 Inverter is installed near any of the equipment listed below, provide measures to insure against errors in operation.
Page 33
Warning Do not install or operate the inverter if it is damaged or any component is missing. This can result in electric shock or fire. Contact your Toshiba distributor for repairs. Prohibited Mount the inverter on a metal plate.
Page 34
E6581595 The space shown in the diagram is the minimum allowable space. Because air cooled equipment has cooling fans built in on the top or bottom surfaces, make the space on top and bottom as large as possible to allow for air passage.
Page 35
E6581595 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.
Page 36
E6581595 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. ...
2. Connection Warning Never disassemble, modify or repair. This can result in electric shock, fire and injury. Call your Toshiba distributor for repairs. Disassembly prohibited Don't stick your fingers into openings such as cable wiring hole and cooling fan covers.
Page 38
E6581595 Warning 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. Be Grounded Caution Do not attach devices with built-in capacitors (such as noise filters or surge absorber) to the output (motor side) terminal.
E6581595 Standard connections Warning 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. Do not insert a resistor between DC terminals (between PA/+ and PC/-, or between PO and PC/-). It could cause a fire.

E6581595 9. Measures to satisfy the standards 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, made 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.

9.1.3 About the 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 problem to European countries.
E6581595 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. 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.

For setting parameters of the motor thermal protection, refer to section 3.5. 9.2.7 Other Please contact where you purchase the inverter, your Toshiba sales representative, if you need the hard copy (paper) of CD-ROM. Or please contact to phone number of back cover in instruction manual.
E6581595 10. Peripheral devices Warning When supplying power from a wall socket, do not exceed the rated capacity of the socket. Otherwise, this may generate excessive heat which can start a fire. Prohibited When using switchgear for the inverter, it must be installed in a cabinet. Failure to do so can lead to risk of electric shock and can result in death or serious injury.

0.75 18.9 Note 1: Models made by Toshiba Industrial Products and Systems Corporation are shown. Note 2: Be sure to attach a surge killer to the exciting coil of the relay and the magnetic contactor. Note 3: When using the auxiliary contacts 2a of the magnetic contactor MC for the control circuit, connect the contacts 2a in parallel to increase reliability.
E6581595 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. When using an optional brake module, install a magnetic contactor (MC) or non-fuse circuit breaker with a power cutoff device on the primary power supply of the inverter, so that the power circuit opens when the failure detection relay (FL) in the inverter or the externally installed overload relay is actuated.
() 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.
