Power 
Ensure that the supply voltage is correct. 
A molded-case circuit breaker or fused disconnect 
must be installed between the AC source and the 
inverter 
Circuit 
Breaker  
& RCD 
Use a molded-case circuit breaker that conforms to 
the rated voltage and current of the inverter. 
Do not use the circuit breaker as the run/stop switch 
for the inverter. 
Residual Current Circuit Breaker(RCD) 
Current setting should be 200mA or above and the 
operating time at 0.1 second or longer to prevent 
malfunctions. 
Magnetic 
contactor  
Normally a magnetic contactor is not needed. 
A contactor can be used to perform functions such 
as external control and auto restart after power 
failure. 
Do not use the magnetic contactor as the run/stop 
switch for the inverter. 
AC reactor for 
power quality 
improvement 
When a 200V/400V inverter with rating below 15KW 
is connected to a high capacity power source 
(600kVA or above) then an AC reactor can be 
connected for power factor improvement and 
reducing harmonics. 
Input noise 
filter 
L510 inverter has a built-in filter to Class “A” first 
Environment. (CategoryC2) 
To satisfy the required EMC regulations for your 
specific application you may require an additional 
EMC filter.  
Inverter 
Connect the single phase power to Terminals, L1(L) 
& L3(N) and three phase power to Terminals : 
(200V : L1(L),L2,L3(N) or 400V : L1,L2,L3)  
 Warning! Connecting the input terminals T1, T2, 
and T3 to AC input power will damage the inverter. 
Output terminals T1, T2, and T3 are connected to U, 
V, and W terminals of the motor.  
To reverse the motor rotation direction just swap 
any two wires at terminals T1, T2, and T3. 
Ground the Inverter and motor correctly. 
Ground Resistance for 200V power<100 Ohms. 
Motor 
Three-phase induction motor. Voltage drop on motor 
due to long cable can be calculated.  
Volts drop should be  < 10%. 
Phase-to-phase voltage drop (V) = 
3 ×resistance of wire (Ω/km)×length of line 
(m)×current×10
