9.2 Measures to be taken to satisfy the UL/CSA standards
All VF-PS1 series inverters are certified by UL and CSA, and have nameplates with UL and CSA markings.
9.2.1 Caution in installing the inverter
A UL certificate was granted on the assumption that the inverter would be installed in a cabinet. Therefore, install the
inverter in a cabinet and if necessary, take measures to maintain the ambient temperature (temperature in the cabinet)
within the specified temperature range.
For models designed for 15kW motors or smaller, if the cover on the top of the inverter is removed, the ambient
temperature can rise to 50°C in some cases, although the maximum allowable ambient temperature is 40°C.
Incidentally, models (with no cover on the top) designed for 18.5 kW motors or larger can be used at ambient
temperatures of up to 50°C.
9.2.2 Caution in wiring and rated current
For electric wires to be connected to the inverter’s input terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3), output terminals (U/T1, V/T2,
W/T3) or other main circuit terminals, use UL-certified electric wires (copper wires with conductors for which the
maximum allowable temperature is 75°C or over) and round solderless terminals and tighten the terminal screws
(stripped wires may be connected directly for 200V/18.5kW to 200V/45kW models and 400V/22kW to 400V/75kW
models) to the specified torque when connecting the wires to the terminal board. To crimp a round solderless terminal
onto a wire, use a crimping tool recommended by the terminal manufacturer.
⇒ For recommended electric wire sizes, see Tables 5.
UL-certified rated output current is not the same as inverter unit rated current. Refer to Table 5.
9.2.3 Caution as to peripheral devices
When installing a no-fuse circuit breaker or a fuse box on the primary side of the inverter, use UL-certified one.
The UL certification test on this inverter was conducted under the AIC* conditions shown in Table 4 (*: current that
flows in the event of a short-circuit in the power supply). Note that AIC currents vary depending on the capacity of the
motor used.
