DANGER
Hazardous Voltage
Before accessing the AC drive:
Disconnect all power to the AC drive.
Wait five minutes for DC bus capacitors discharge. 3

Any electrical or mechanical modification to this equipment without prior written

consent of Delta Electronics, Inc. will void all warranties and may result in a safety
hazard in addition to voiding the UL listing.

Short Circuit Withstand:

The rated voltage must be equal to or less than 240V (460V model is 480Volts) and the current
must be equal to or less than 5000A RMS. (the model of 51HP or above is 10000A RMS)

General Wiring Information

Applicable Codes
VFD-V AC drives (007V23/43A, 015V23/43A, 022V23/43A, 037V23/43A, 055V23/43A,
075V23/43A, 110V43B, 110V23/43A, 150V23/43A, 185V23/43A, 220V23/43A, 300V23/43A,
370V23/43A, 450V43A) are Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) and Canadian Underwriters
Laboratories (cUL) listed, and therefore comply with the requirements of the National Electrical
Code (NEC) and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).

Installation intended to meet the UL and cUL requirements must follow the instructions
provided in “Wiring Notes” as a minimum standard. Follow all local codes that exceed UL and
cUL requirements. Refer to the technical data label affixed to the AC drive and the motor
nameplate for electrical data.

The "Line Fuse Specification" in Appendix B, lists the recommended fuse part number for each
V-Series part number. These fuses (or equivalent) must be used on all installations where
compliance with U.L. standards is a required.

3.6 Wiring Notice

1. There are corresponding ring terminals which will be included with each unit (15-30HP),
and please use the proper crimping tool by KST INC. P/N: KST-HDC38A for securing
the conductor.
2. When wiring up, and that the wiring route specifications are settled, please conduct the
wiring following the electrician regulations.
3. The connection between the three-phase AC input power and the main circuit terminal
R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 has to set up a none-fusing switch in between. The best is to series
connect with an electro-magnetic contactor (MC) so as to cut off the power supply at the
same time when the inverter protection function acts. (The two ends of the
electro-magnetic contactor should have the R-C Varistor).
4. There is no phase-order differentiation in the input power R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 and users
could connect with either one of use.
5. The ground terminal E is grounded with the third-type grounding method (with the
grounding impedance under 100Ω).
6. The grounding wire of the inverter could not be grounded at the same time with
machinery with grand current loading, like that of the electric soldering machine and of
the motor with grand horsepower; they have to be grounded individually.
7. The shorter the ground wire, the better it is.
8. When several inverters are grounded at the same time, be sure not to make it into a
ground circuit. Please refer to the following diagram:

FWD RUN

9. If the output terminals U/T1, V/T2 and W/T3 of the inverter are connecting relatively to
the U, V, and W terminals of the motor, the FWD indicator located on the digital control
panel of the inverter will be lit, and that means the inverter is running forward, and the
rotation direction of the motor will be shown as the right hand side diagram above; if the
REV indicator is lit, it means that the inverter is running in reverse direction, and the
rotation direction will be of the opposite direction compared with the above diagram. If
users are not sure of whether the connection between output terminals U/T1, V/T2 and
W/T3 of the inverter is of one-to-one connection with U, V, and W terminals of the motor,
simply swap either two wires among the U, V, and W terminals of the motor for
correction if the inverter is running forward while the motor is running at reverse
direction.

3-14 DELTA ELECTRONICS, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

 VFD-V Series

10. Be sure of the power voltage and the greatest current possible supplied.
11. When the “Digital Hand-held Programming Panel” is displayed, please do not
disconnect or dissemble any wiring.
12. No braking resistor is installed within the VFD-V inverter (selective purchasing item),
therefore, be sure to purchase and install the braking resistor if to be used on occasions
when the loading inertia is great or that it is of frequent start/stop.
13. Be sure not to connect the AC power with the terminals U/T1, V/T2 and W/T3 on the
power-generating side of the inverter. 3
14. Please tightly fasten the screws of the main circuit terminals so as to prevent sparks
generated due to the vibration and loosening of the screws.
15. Wiring of the main circuit and of the control circuit should be separated so as to prevent
erroneous actions. If the interlock connection is needed, please make it an
intersection of 90°.
16. If terminals U/T1, V/T2 and W/T3 on the power-generating side of the inverter is in need
of the noise wave-filter, it is then necessary to use the induction-type L-Varistor, but be
sure not to add in the phase-carrying capacitor or the L-C- and R-C-type wave filters.
17. Please use the separating wire as much as possible during control wiring, and be sure
not to expose the peeled-off separation net in front of the terminal to the external.
18. Please use the separating wire or tube as much as possible during power wiring, and
ground these two ends of the separating layer or tube to the ground.
19. If the installation site of the inverter is sensitive to interferences, please have the RFI
wave filters installed, and the nearer the inverter to the installation site, the better. In
addition, the lower the carrier wave frequency of, the less the interferences.
20. If the electric-leakage circuit breaker is installed in the inverter, it could serve as the
protection for the electric-leakage error, and as the prevention on the erroneous actions
of the electric-leakage circuit breaker; please select the sensor current above 200mA
with the action time of more than 0.1 second to have these actions accessible.
