• when the power supply is above 600 kVA.
• when the drive is running from a power supply system with thyristor converters.
Note:
A DC link choke is built in to drive models 5A0041 to 5A0242.

Drive Capacity
For specialized motors, make sure that the motor rated current is less than the rated output current for the drive.
When running more than one motor in parallel from a single drive, the capacity of the drive should be larger than [total motor
rated current × 1.1].
Starting Torque
The overload rating for the drive determines the starting and accelerating characteristics of the motor. Expect lower torque
than when running from line power. To get more starting torque, use a larger drive or increase both the motor and drive capacity.
Emergency Stop
During a drive fault condition, the output shuts off but the motor does not stop immediately. A mechanical brake may be
required when it is necessary to stop the motor faster than the ability of the Fast Stop function of the drive.
Options
NOTICE: The B1, B2,
⊖, ⊕1, ⊕2, and ⊕3 terminals are used to connect optional drive-specific compatible devices only. Connecting non-
Yaskawa-approved devices to these terminals may damage the drive.
Repetitive Starting/Stopping
Laundry machines, punching presses, and other applications with frequent starts and stops often approach 150% of their rated
current values. Heat stress generated from repetitive high current will shorten the life span of the IGBTs.
Yaskawa recommends lowering the carrier frequency, particularly when audible noise is not a concern. It is beneficial to
reduce the load, increase the acceleration and deceleration times, or switch to a larger drive to help keep peak current levels
under 150%. Be sure to check the peak current levels when starting and stopping repeatedly during the initial test run, and
make adjustments accordingly.

Installation
Enclosure Panels
Keep the drive in a clean environment by installing the drive in an enclosure panel or selecting an installation area free of
airborne dust, lint, and oil mist. Be sure to leave the required space between drives to provide for cooling, and take proper
measures so the ambient temperature remains within allowable limits and keep flammable materials away from the drive.
Yaskawa offers protective designs for drives that must be used in areas subjected to oil mist and excessive vibration. Contact
Yaskawa or your Yaskawa agent for details.
Installation Direction
NOTICE: Install the drive upright as specified in the manual.
Refer to Mechanical Installation on page 38
for more information on
installation. Failure to comply may damage the drive due to improper cooling.

Settings
Motor Code
When using OLV/PM, set the proper motor code to parameter E5-01 before performing a trial run.
Upper Limits
NOTICE: The drive is capable of running the motor up to 400 Hz. Be sure to set the upper limit for the frequency of the drive to prevent the
possible danger of accidentally operating equipment at higher than rated speed. The default setting for the maximum output frequency is
60 Hz.
