Precautions for use
Driving a 460V
general-purpose
motor
When driving a 460V general-purpose motor with an inverter using
extremely long wires, damage to the insulation of the motor may occur.
Use an output circuit filter (OFL) if necessary after checking with the motor
manufacturer. Fuji motors do not require the use of output circuit filters
because of their reinforced insulation.
Torque
characteristics
and temperature
rise
When the inverter is used to run a general-purpose motor, the temperature
of the motor becomes higher than when it is operated using a commercial
power supply. In the low-speed range, the cooling effect will be weakened,
so decrease the output torque of the motor.
Vibration
When an inverter-driven motor is mounted to a machine, resonance may
be caused by the natural frequencies of the machine system.
Note that operation of a 2-pole motor at 60 Hz or higher may cause
abnormal vibration.
* The use of a rubber coupling or vibration dampening rubber is
recommended.
* Use the inverter's jump frequency control feature to skip the resonance
frequency zone(s).

general-
purpose
motors
Noise
When an inverter is used with a general-purpose motor, the motor noise
level is higher than that with a commercial power supply. To reduce noise,
raise carrier frequency of the inverter. Operation at 60 Hz or higher can
also result in higher noise level.
Explosion-proof
motors
When driving an explosion-proof motor with an inverter, use a combination
of a motor and an inverter that has been approved in advance.
Submersible
motors and
pumps
These motors have a larger rated current than general-purpose motors.
Select an inverter whose rated output current is greater than that of the
motor.
These motors differ from general-purpose motors in thermal
characteristics. Set a low value in the thermal time constant of the motor
when setting the electronic thermal function.
Brake motors
For motors equipped with parallel-connected brakes, their braking power
must be supplied from the primary circuit. If the brake power is connected
to the inverter's output circuit by mistake, the brake will not work.
Do not use inverters for driving motors equipped with series-connected
brakes.
Geared motors
If the power transmission mechanism uses an oil-lubricated gearbox or
speed changer/reducer, then continuous motor operation at low speed
may cause poor lubrication. Avoid such operation.
Synchronous
motors
It is necessary to take special measures suitable for this motor type.
Contact your Fuji Electric representative for details.

Single-phase
motors
Single-phase motors are not suitable for inverter-driven variable speed
operation. Use three-phase motors.
Environ-
mental
conditions
Installation
location
Use the inverter within the ambient temperature range from -10 to +50°C
(14 to 122
°F).
The heat sink of the inverter may become hot under certain operating
conditions, so install the inverter on nonflammable material such as metal.
Ensure that the installation location meets the environmental conditions
specified in Chapter 2, Section 2.1 "Operating Environment."
