2 GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1 ABOUT THE MANUAL

This manual presents information necessary for the configuration of all the functions and parameters of the frequency
inverter CFW501. This manual must be used together with the user's manual of the CFW501.
The text provides additional information so as to make the use and programming of the CFW501 easier in certain
applications.
The standard value for the parameters related to speed described in this manual assumes a standard 4-pole
motor, that is, with synchronous speed of 1500 rpm (50 Hz) or 1800 rpm (60 Hz).
parameters on page 2-1 shows the setting suggested of those parameters for other number of poles. Furthermore,
parameter P0402 must be set with the data on the motor nameplate; if not available, use the rated speed.

NOTE!
"The specific HVAC functions present on the CFW501 can only be activated with the connection of
the HVAC plug-in module (CFW500-CRS485). Other plug-in modules can be used, but in this case
the HVAC application must be turned off by means of parameter P1001."

2.2 TERMINOLOGY AND DEFINITIONS

2.2.1 Terms and Definitions Used

I : inverter rated current by P0295.
nom
Overload Duty: in the CFW501 there is no difference in the operating duty between "Light - Normal Duty" (ND)
and "Heavy - Heavy Duty" (HD). Thus, the overload duty adopted for the CFW501 is equivalent to the HD standard,
that is, the maximum overload current is 1.5 x I
Rectifier: input circuit of the inverters that transforms the input AC voltage into DC. It is formed by high-power
diodes.
IGBT: insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor - basic component part of the output inverter bridge. It works as an
electronic switch in the saturated (closed switch) and cut-off (open switch) modes.
DC Link: intermediary circuit of the inverter; voltage in direct current obtained by rectifying the power supply
alternate voltage or external supply; it supplies the output inverter bridge with IGBTs.
Pre-Charge Circuit: charges the capacitors of the DC link with limited current, avoiding current peaks in the
inverter power-up.
Braking IGBT: it works as a switch to turn on the braking resistor. It is controlled by the DC link level.
