1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This quick installation guide contains the basic information necessary to commission the MW500. It has
been written to be used by qualified personnel with suitable training or technical qualification for operating
this type of equipment. The personnel shall follow all the safety instructions described in this manual
defined by the local regulations. Failure to comply with the safety instructions may result in death, serious
injury, and/or equipment damage.
2 SAFETY WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL
DANGER!
The procedures recommended in this warning have the purpose of protecting the user against
death, serious injuries and/or considerable material damage.
ATTENTION!
The procedures recommended in this warning have the purpose of avoiding material damage.
NOTE!
The information mentioned in this warning is important for the proper understanding and good
operation of the product.
High voltages are present.
Components sensitive to electrostatic
discharge.
Do not touch them.
High temperature warning.
3 PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS
DANGER!
Always disconnect the general power supply before changing any electric component associated
to the inverter. Many components may remain loaded with high voltages and/or moving (fans), even
after the AC power supply is disconnected or turned off. Wait for at least ten minutes in order to
guarantee the full discharge of the capacitors. Always connect the grounding point of the inverter
to the protection grounding (PE).
NOTE!
Frequency Inverter may interfere with other electronic equipment. Follow the precautions
recommended in manual available in www.weg.net.
NOTE!
It is not the intention of this guide to present all the possibilities for the application of the MW500,
as well as WEG cannot take any liability for the use of the MW500 which is not based on this guide.
For further information about installation, full parameter list and recommendations, visit the website
www.weg.net.
ATTENTION!
The electronic boards have components sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Do not touch the
components or connectors directly. If necessary, first touch the grounding point of the inverter,
which must be connected to the protection ground or use a proper grounding strap.
Do not touch the frame of the inverter directly. The inverter may be very hot during and after the
operation.
4 ABOUT THE MW500
The MW500 is a high-performance, decentralized inverter with IP66 degree of protection dust an water.
The MW500 allows speed and torque control of three-phase induction motors. This product features vector
(V V W ) and scalar (V/f) control - both programmable according to your application.
