The Yaskawa V1000-4X variable frequency drives’ enclosure is coated to protect against the harmful effects of sanitizing chemicals commonly used in food processing industries.

Yaskawa G7


Yaskawa Variable Frequency DrivesYaskawa G7 variable frequency drives are designed for applications where the motor distance from the drive is significant. The Yaskawa G7 can be up to 1000 feet away from the motor it’s controlling. The Yaskawa G7 variable frequency drives utilize 3 level control to offer the best solution for challenging installations. Yaskawa is the only manufacturer to offer a low voltage drive with this architecture. 3 level technology minimizes drive induced problems associated with long motor cables and premature motor bearing failures. The Yaskawa G7 variable frequency drives reduce overall electrical noise, resulting in the most problem free installations. The Yaskawa G7 variable frequency drives also provide high flexibility and excellent vector performance for control of speed, torque, and position.

The Yaskawa G7 variable frequency drives have three auto-tuning methods to optimize motor control, including the new static auto-tuning which does not require load decoupling, or motor rotation. The LCD operator displays 5 lines x 16 characters, in 7 languages. The G7 keypad includes memory for parameter settings that makes it easy to transfer settings from one drive to another.

The Yaskawa G7 variable frequency drives have a large programming feature set to handle sophisticated industrial applications. If the standard feature set does not meet specific requirements, the Yaskawa G7 can be programmed using software called DriveWorksEZ™. The Yaskawa G7 variable frequency drives are available in ratings through 500 horsepower.

How To Interpret The AC Tech SMVector Part Number

/in , /by

Anyone who has spent a fair amount of time working with catalogs and price books understands that each company designates their part numbers differently. Lenze / AC Tech does this in a very intuitive way for their SMVector series of AC Drives. This allows support specialists and field techs to quickly identify hardware in the field.

The importance of a clear part number designation cannot be undervalued. Many times randomized part numbers can be used making it difficult to adequately specify a replacement for an existing unit. Lenze / AC Tech created an all encompassing solution by breaking up the part number into four separate categories: Power Rating, Communications, Input Voltage, Input Phase, Input Line Filter and Enclosure.

Abstract:

This article illustrates how to interpret the part number on any Lenze / AC Tech SMVector drive.

How To Interpret The AC Tech SMVector Part Number:

 

1. When looking at the nameplate of your AC Tech SMVector drive, you will notice the part number is designated under the category of Type: as shown in section B of the image below.

SMV Nameplate Overview and Designation

2. The SMVector Drive part number is broken up into the following 7 different categories: Power Rating, Communications Module, Input Voltage, Input Phase, Input Line Filter and Enclosure.

SMV Part Number Designation

3. If we take the sample part number from Step 1 (ESV751N04TXB), we interpret the following information about the drive based upon the SMV Number Type Designation

  • ESV – SMVector Series Drive
  • 751 – 0.75 kW (or 1 HP)
  • N0 – No Extra Communication Installed, Standard Keypad
  • 4 – 400 / 480 VAC
  • T – Three Phase Input Only
  • X – No EMC Filter / No Disconnect Switch
  • B – NEMA 1 / IP31; Indoor only

4. For many, just the part number from Lenze / AC Tech offers a massive amount of information about the device allowing for extended support on product replacements and alternatives.

Conclusion:

The Lenze / AC Tech part number is a great tool to have on hand. It is important to note that external communications can be purchased separately and the option for communications may not actually reflect what is being used in the field. For this reason, it is extremely important to gather additional information on top of the standard nameplate information when troubleshooting the drive.

How To Wire 240 Volt Single Phase Power To An SMVector VFD

/in , /by

The SMVector series of drives supports input voltages up to 600 volts. Although these voltages are pretty much the standard in the US, many people do not realize the differences in wiring between single phase and three phase. One of the slightly deceptive configurations in the “single phase” 240 Volt SMVector drive is that it shows and L1, L2  and N input but the wires are actually only wired to L1 and L2.

Wiring the SMVector series drive is a simple enough process, but the proper safety precautions should always be taken to ensure injury or death do not occur. For this reason, it is ultimately the responsibility of the one performing to work to take the proper precautions as designated by their local safety laws and regulations.

Abstract:

This article illustrates how to wire an SMVector series drive for a 240 volt single phase main supply input. It also illustrates how to determine what voltage the SMVector drive is rated for.

Note: This tutorial and task should only be performed by a qualified drives specialist.

How To Wire 240 Volt Single Phase Power To An SMVector VFD:

Before You Begin: Make sure the drive’s input voltage rating is rated for 240 Volts AC 1 Phase by looking at the drives nameplate (the demonstration image below shows input voltage of 400/480 V 3 phase).

Note: 3 Phase Drives can be powered with 1 Phase but the drive must be derated for the application. Contact us for more details.

Before-You-Begin---Make-Sure-The-Dri

1. Make sure the mains power supply you will be wiring has been completely shut off and locked out.

2. Note the manuals wiring diagram for wiring 240 Volt single power phase to an SMVector drive. There are two separate types of 240 Volt single phase power illustrated. Either you will be utilizing a 240 volt single phase from an original three phase source (left) or have a separate 240 Volt supply with a corresponding neutral (right).

3. Wire the Fused 240 Volt A Phase or Fused Hot wire to the L1 input.

Step-2---Wire-120-Volts-Hot-Line-To-

4. Wire the Fused 240 Volt B Phase or common wire to the L2 input.

5. Wire the 240 Volts ground to the PE, or ground, input.

Step-4---Wire-120-Volts-Ground-to-PE[2]

6. Apply power to the drive. You should be greeted with the following display on the keypad.
