General Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Never modify the unit. Otherwise, there is a danger of electric shock and/ or injury.
CAUTION: Withstand voltage tests and insulation resistance tests (HIPOT) are executed before the units are shipped, so there is no need to conduct these tests before operation.
CAUTION: Do not attach or remove wiring or connectors when power is applied. Also, do not check signals during operation.
CAUTION: Be sure to connect the grounding terminal to earth ground.
CAUTION: When inspecting the unit, be sure to wait five minutes after tuning OFF the power supply before opening the cover.
x
CAUTION: Do not stop operation by switching OFF electromagnetic contactors on the primary or secondary sides of the inverter.

FW
When there has been a sudden power failure while an operation instruction is active, then the unit may restart operation automatically after the power failure has ended. If there is a possibility that such an occurrence may harm humans, then install an electromagnetic contactor (Mgo) on the power supply side, so that the circuit does not allow automatic restarting after the power supply recovers. If the optional remote operator is used and the retry function has been selected, this will also cause automatic restarting when a Run command is active. So, please be careful.
CAUTION: Do not insert leading power factor capacitors or surge absorbers between the output terminals of the inverter and motor.

CAUTION: MOTOR TERMINAL SURGE VOLTAGE SUPPRESSION FILTER
(For the 400 V CLASS)
In a system using an inverter with the voltage control PWM system, a voltage surge caused by the cable constants such as the cable length (especially when the distance between the motor and inverter is 10 m or more) and cabling method may occur at the motor terminals. A dedicated filter of the 400 V class for suppressing this voltage surge is available. Be sure to install a filter in this situation.
L100 Inverter
CAUTION: SUPPRESSION FOR NOISE INTERFERENCE FROM INVERTER
The inverter uses many semiconductor switching elements such as transistors and
IGBTs. Thus, a radio receiver or measuring instrument located near the inverter is susceptible to noise interference.
To protect the instruments from erroneous operation due to noise interference, they should be used well away from the inverter. It is also effective to shield the whole inverter structure.
The addition of an EMI filter on the input side of the inverter also reduces the effect of noise from the commercial power line on external devices.
Note that the external dispersion of noise from the power line can be minimized by connecting an EMI filter on the primary side of inverter.

CAUTION: EFFECTS OF POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ON INVERTER
In the cases below involving a general-purpose inverter, a large peak current can flow on the power supply side, sometimes destroying the converter module:
1. The unbalance factor of the power supply is 3% or higher.
2. The power supply capacity is at least 10 times greater than the inverter capacity (or the power supply capacity is 500 kVA or more).
3. Abrupt power supply changes are expected, due to conditions such as: a. Several inverters are interconnected with a short bus.
b. A thyristor converter and an inverter are interconnected with a short bus.
c. An installed phase advance capacitor opens and closes.
Where these conditions exist or when the connected equipment must be highly reliable, you MUST install an input-side AC reactor of 3% (at a voltage drop at rated current) with respect to the supply voltage on the power supply side. Also, where the effects of an indirect lightning strike are possible, install a lightning conductor.
xii
CAUTION: When the EEPROM error E08 occurs, be sure to confirm the setting values again.
CAUTION: When using normally closed active state settings (C_11 to C_15) for externally commanded Forward or Reverse terminals [FW] or [RV], the inverter may start automatically when the external system is powered OFF or disconnected from the
inverter! So, do not use normally closed active state settings for Forward or Reverse terminals [FW] or [RV] unless your system design protects against unintended motor operation.
CAUTION: In all the illustrations in this manual, covers and safety devices are occasionally removed to describe the details. While operating the product, make sure that the covers and safety devices are placed as they were specified originally and operate it according to the instruction manual.

EMI Filter
Operator Interface Options
The optional SRW-0EX digital operator / copy unit is shown to the right. It has the additional capability of reading (uploading) the parameter settings in the inverter into its memory. Then you can connect the copy unit on another inverter and write (download) the parameter settings into that inverter. OEMs will find this unit particularly useful, as one can use a single copy unit to transfer parameter settings from one inverter to many.
Other digital operator interfaces may be available from your Hitachi distributor for particular industries or international markets. Contact your
Hitachi distributor for further details.

L100 Inverter Specifications
Footnotes for the preceding table and the tables that follow:
Note 1: The protection method conforms to JEM 1030.
Note 2: The applicable motor refers to Hitachi standard 3-phase motor (4-pole). When using other motors, care must be taken to prevent the rated motor current (50/
60 Hz) from exceeding the rated output current of the inverter.
Note 3: The output voltage decreases as the main supply voltage decreases (except when using the AVR function). In any case, the output voltage cannot exceed the input power supply voltage.
Note 4: To operate the motor beyond 50/60 Hz, consult the motor manufacturer for the maximum allowable rotation speed.
Note 5: The braking torque via capacitive feedback is the average deceleration torque at the shortest deceleration (stopping from 50/60 Hz as indicated). It is not continuous regenerative braking torque. The average deceleration torque varies with motor loss. This value decreases when operating beyond 50 Hz.
Note that a braking unit is not included in the inverter. If a large regenerative torque is required, the optional regenerative braking unit should be used.
Note 6: The frequency command is the maximum frequency at 9.8V for input voltage
0 to 10 VDC, or at 19.6 mA for input current 4 to 20 mA. If this characteristic is not satisfactory for your application, contact your Hitachi sales representative.
Note 7: If operating the inverter in an ambient temperature of 40–50 ° C, reduce the carrier frequency to 2.1 kHz, derate the output current by 80%, and remove the top housing cover. Note that removing the top cover will nullify the
NEMA rating for the inverter housing.
Note 8: The storage temperature refers to the short-term temperature during transport.
Note 9: Conforms to the test method specified in JIS C0911 (1984). For the model types excluded in the standard specifications, contact your Hitachi sales representative.
Note 10: The input voltage of xxLFU is 230V.

Derating Curves
The maximum available inverter current output is limited by the carrier frequency and ambient temperature. The carrier frequency is the inverter’s internal power switching frequency, settable from 0.5 kHz to 16 kHz. Choosing a higher carrier frequency tends to decrease audible noise, but it also increases the internal heating of the inverter, thus decreasing (derating) the maximum current output capability. Ambient temperature is the temperature just outside the inverter housing—such as inside the control cabinet where the inverter is mounted. A higher ambient temperature decreases (derates) the inverter’s maximum current output capacity.
Use the following derating curves to help determine the optimal carrier frequency setting for your inverter, and to find the output current derating. Be sure to use the proper curve for your particular L100 inverter model number.

Introduction to Variable-Frequency Drives
The Purpose of Motor Speed Control for Industry
Hitachi inverters provide speed control for 3-phase AC induction motors. You connect
AC power to the inverter, and connect the inverter to the motor. Many applications benefit from a motor with variable speed, in several ways:
• Energy savings - HVAC
• Need to coordinate speed with an adjacent process—textiles and printing presses
• Need to control acceleration and deceleration (torque)
• Sensitive loads - elevators, food processing, pharmaceuticals
What is an Inverter?
The term inverter and variable-frequency drive are related and somewhat interchangeable. An electronic motor drive for an AC motor can control the motor’s speed by
varying the frequency of the power sent to the motor.
An inverter, in general, is a device that converts DC power to AC power. The figure below shows how the variable-frequency drive employs an internal inverter. The drive first converts incoming AC power to DC through a rectifier bridge, creating an internal
DC bus voltage. Then the inverter circuit converts the DC back to AC again to power the motor. The special inverter can vary its output frequency and voltage according to the desired motor speed.

The simplified drawing of the inverter shows three double-throw switches. In Hitachi inverters, the switches are actually IGBTs (isolated gate bipolar transistors). Using a commutation algorithm, the microprocessor in the drive switches the IGBTs on and off at a very high speed to create the desired output waveforms. The inductance of the motor windings helps smooth out the pulses.

Introduction to Variable-Frequency Drives
Torque and Constant Volts/Hertz Operation
In the past, AC variable speed drives used an open loop (scalar) technique to control speed.
The constant-volts-per-hertz operation maintains a constant ratio between the applied voltage and the applied frequency. With these conditions, AC induction motors inherently delivered constant torque across the operating

100%
Today, with the advent of sophisticated microprocessors and digital signal processors (DSPs),
Output frequency it is possible to control the speed and torque of AC induction motors with unprecedented accuracy. The L100 utilizes these devices to perform complex mathematical calculations required to achieve superior performance. You can choose various torque curves to fit the needs of your application. Constant torque applies the same torque level across the frequency (speed) range. Variable torque, also called reduced torque, lowers the torque delivered at mid-level frequencies. A torque boost setting will add additional torque in the lower half of the frequency range for the constant and variable torque curves. With the free-setting torque curve feature, you can specify a series of data points that will define a custom torque curve to fit your application.
Inverter Input and Three-Phase Power
The Hitachi L100 Series of inverters includes two sub-groups: the 200V class and the
400V class inverters. The drives described in this manual may be used in either the
United States or Europe, although the exact voltage level for commercial power may be slightly different from country to country. Accordingly, a 200V class inverter requires
(nominal) 200 to 240VAC, and a 400V class inverter requires from 380 to 460VAC.
Some 200V class inverters will accept single-phase or three-phase power, but all 400V class inverters require a three-phase power supply.
TIP: If your application only has single phase power available, refer to L100 inverters of 3HP or less; they can accept single phase input power.
The common terminology for single phase power is Line (L) and Neutral (N). Threephase power connections are usually labeled Line 1 (L1), Line 2 (L2) and Line 3 (L3). In any case, the power source should include an earth ground connection. That ground connection will need to connect to the inverter chassis and to the motor frame (see
“Wire the Inverter Output to Motor” on page 2–18 ).
L100 Inverter

Inverter Output to the Motor
The AC motor must be connected only to the inverter’s output terminals. The output terminals are uniquely labeled (to differentiate them from the input terminals) with the designations U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3. This corresponds to typical motor lead connection designations T1, T2, and T3. It is often not necessary to connect a particular inverter output to a particular motor lead for a new application. The consequence of swapping any two of the three connections is the reversal of the motor direction. In applications where reversed rotation could

GND cause equipment damage or personnel injury, be sure to verify direction of rotation before attempting full-speed operation. For safety to personnel, you must connect the motor chassis ground to the ground connection at the bottom of the inverter housing.
Notice the three connections to the motor do not include one marked “Neutral” or
“Return.” The motor represents a balanced “Y” impedance to the inverter, so there is no need for a separate return. In other words, each of the three “Hot” connections serves also as a return for the other connections, because of their phase relationship.
The Hitachi inverter is a rugged and reliable device. The intention is for the inverter to assume the role of controlling power to the motor during all normal operations. Therefore, this manual instructs you not to switch off power to the inverter while the motor is
running (unless it is an emergency stop). Also, do not install or use disconnect switches in the wiring from the inverter to the motor (except thermal disconnect). Of course, safety-related devices such as fuses must be in the design to break power during a malfunction, as required by NEC and local codes.
1–20
Introduction to Variable-Frequency Drives
Intelligent Functions and Parameters
Much of this manual is devoted to describing how to use inverter functions and how to configure inverter parameters. The inverter is microprocessor-controlled, and has many independent functions. The microprocessor has an on-board
EEPROM for parameter storage. The inverter’s front panel keypad provides access to all functions and parameters, which you can access through other devices as well. The general name for all these devices is the digital operator, or
digital operator panel. Chapter 2 will show you how to get a motor running, using a minimal set of function commands or configuring parameters.
The optional read/write programmer will let you read and write inverter EEPROM contents from the programmer. This feature is particularly useful for OEMs who need to duplicate a particular inverter’s settings in many other inverters in assembly-line fashion.
Braking
In general, braking is a force that attempts to slow or stop motor rotation. So it is associated with motor deceleration, but may also occur even when the load attempts to drive the motor faster than the desired speed (overhauling). If you need the motor and load to decelerate quicker than their natural deceleration during coasting, we recommend installing an optional dynamic braking unit. See
“Introduction” on page 5–2 and
“Dynamic Braking” on page 5–5 for more information on the BRD–E2 and BRD–EZ2
braking units. The L100 inverter sends excess motor energy into a resistor in the dynamic braking unit to slow the motor and load. For loads that continuously overhaul the motor for extended periods of time, the L100 may not be suitable (contact your
Hitachi distributor).
The inverter parameters include acceleration and deceleration, which you can set to match the needs of the application. For a particular inverter, motor, and load, there will be a range of practically achievable accelerations and decelerations.

Velocity Profiles
The L100 inverter is capable of sophisticated speed control. A graphical representation of that capability will help you understand and configure the associated parameters. This manual makes use of the velocity profile graph used in industry (shown at right). In the example, acceleration is a ramp to a set speed, and deceleration is a decline to a stop.

The inverter can drive the motor in either direction. Separate FW and RV commands select the direction of rotation. The motion profile example shows a forward motion followed by a reverse motion of shorter duration. The speed presets and analog signals control the magnitude of the speed, while the
FWD and REV commands determine the direction before the motion starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
What is the main advantage in using an inverter to drive a motor, compared to alternative solutions?
A.
An inverter can vary the motor speed with very little loss of efficiency, unlike mechanical or hydraulic speed control solutions. The resulting energy savings usually pays for the inverter in a relatively short time.
Q.
The term “inverter” is a little confusing, since we also use “drive” and “amplifier” to describe the electronic unit that controls a motor. What does “inverter” mean?
A.
The terms inverter, drive, and amplifier are used somewhat interchangeably in industry. Nowadays, the terms drive, variable-frequency drive, variable-
speed drive, and inverter are generally used to describe electronic, microprocessor-based motor speed controllers. In the past, variable-speed drive also referred to various mechanical means to vary speed. Amplifier is a term almost exclusively used to describe drives for servo or stepper motors.
Q.
Although the L100 inverter is a variable speed drive, can I use it in a fixed-speed application?
A.
Yes, sometimes an inverter can be used simply as a “soft-start” device, providing controlled acceleration and deceleration to a fixed speed. Other functions of the L100 may be useful in such applications, as well. However, using a variable speed drive can benefit many types of industrial and commercial motor applications, by providing controlled acceleration and deceleration, high torque at low speeds, and energy savings over alternative solutions.
Q.
Can I use an inverter and AC induction motor in a positioning application?
A.
That depends on the required precision, and the slowest speed the motor will must turn and still deliver torque. If you set the torque boost, the L100 can develop starting torque at 100% of its rating. However, DO NOT use an inverter if you need the motor to stop and hold the load position without the aid of a mechanical brake (use a servo or stepper motion control system).
Q.
Does the optional digital operator interface or the PC software (DOP Professional) provide features beyond what is available from the keypad on the unit?
A.
Yes. However, note first that the same set of parameters and functions are equally accessible from either the unit’s keypad or from remote devices. The
DOP Professional PC software lets you save or load inverter configurations to or from a disk file. And, the hand-held digital operator provides hardwired terminals, a safety requirement for some installations.

Q.
Why does the manual or other documentation use terminology such as “200V class” instead of naming the actual voltage, such as “230 VAC?”
A.
A specific inverter model is set at the factory to work across a voltage range particular to the destination country for that model. The model specifications are on the label on the side of the inverter. A European 200V class inverter
(“EU” marking) has different parameter settings than a USA 200V class inverter (“US” marking). The initialization procedure (see
Factory Default Settings” on page 6–8
) can set up the inverter for European or US commercial voltage ranges.
Q.
Why doesn’t the motor have a neutral connection as a return to the inverter?
A.
The motor theoretically represents a “balanced Y” load if all three stator windings have the same impedance. The Y connection allows each of the three wires to alternately serve as input or return on alternate half-cycles.
Q.
Does the motor need a chassis ground connection?
A.
Yes, for several reasons. Most importantly, this provides protection in the event of a short in the motor that puts a hazardous voltage on its housing.
Secondly, motors exhibit leakage currents that increase with aging. Lastly, a grounded chassis generally emits less electrical noise than an ungrounded one.
Q.
What type of motor is compatible with the Hitachi inverters?
A.
Motor type – It must be a three-phase AC induction motor. Use an invertergrade motor that has 800V insulation for 200V class inverters, or 1600V insulation for 400V class.
Motor size – In practice, it’s better to find the right size motor for your application; then look for the inverter to match the motor.
NOTE: There may be other factors that will affect motor selection, including heat dissipation, motor operating speed profile, enclosure type, and cooling method.
Q.
How many poles should the motor have?
A.
Hitachi inverters can be configured to operate motors with 2, 4, 6, or 8 poles.
The greater the number of poles, the slower the top motor speed will be, but it will have higher torque at the base speed.
Q.
Will I be able to add dynamic (resistive) braking to my Hitachi L100 drive after the initial installation?
A.
Yes. You can connect a dynamic braking unit to the L100 inverter. The resistor in the braking unit must be sized to meet the braking requirements.
More information on dynamic braking is located in Chapter 5.
1–24
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
How will I know if my application will require resistive braking?
A.
For new applications, it may be difficult to tell before you actually test a motor/drive solution. In general, some applications can rely on system losses such as friction to serve as the decelerating force, or otherwise can tolerate a long deceleration time. These applications will not need dynamic braking.
However, applications with a combination of a high-inertia load and a required short decel time will need dynamic braking. This is a physics question that may be answered either empirically or through extensive calculations.
Q.
Several options related to electrical noise suppression are available for the Hitachi inverters. How can I know if my application will require any of these options?
A.
The purpose of these noise filters is to reduce the inverter electrical noise so the operation of nearby electrical devices is not affected. Some applications are governed by particular regulatory agencies, and noise suppression is mandatory. In those cases, the inverter must have the corresponding noise filter installed. Other applications may not need noise suppression, unless you notice electrical interference with the operation of other devices.
Q.
The L100 features a PID loop feature. PID loops are usually associated with chemical processes, heating, or process industries in general. How could the PID loop feature be useful in my application?
A.
You will need to determine the particular main variable in your application the motor affects. That is the process variable (PV) for the motor. Over time, a faster motor speed will cause a faster change in the PV than a slow motor speed will. By using the PID loop feature, the inverter commands the motor to run at the optimal speed required to maintain the PV at the desired value for current conditions. Using the PID loop feature will require an additional sensor and other wiring, and is considered an advanced application.

Unpacking and Inspection
Please take a few moments to unpack your new L100 inverter and perform these steps:
1. Look for any damage that may have occurred during shipping.
2. Verify the contents of the box include:
a. One L100 inverter
b. One Instruction Manual with self-adhesive label for the inverter
c. One L100 Quick Reference Guide
d. One packet of desiccant—discard (not for human consumption)
3. Inspect the specifications label on the side of the inverter. Make sure it matches the product part number you ordered.
Main Physical Features
The L100 Series inverters vary in size according to the current output rating and motor size for each model number. All feature the same basic keypad and connector interface for consistent ease of use. The inverter construction has a heat sink at the back of the housing. The larger models include a fan(s) to enhance heat sink performance. The mounting holes are pre-drilled in the heat sink for your convenience. Never touch the heat sink during or just after operation; it can be very hot.
The electronics housing and front panel are built onto the front of the heat sink. The front panel has three levels of physical access designed for convenience and safety:
• First-level access – for basic use of inverter and editing parameters (power ON)
• Second-level access – for editing parameters and wiring control signals (power ON)
• Third-level access – for wiring the inverter power supply or motor (power OFF)
1. First-level Access - View the unit just as it came from the box as shown. The four-digit display can show a variety of performance parameters. LEDs indicate whether the display units are Hertz or Amperes. Other
LEDs indicate Power (external), and Run/
Stop Mode and Program/Monitor Mode status. Membrane keys Run and Stop/Reset, and a Min/Max frequency control knob control motor operation. These controls and indicators are usually the only ones needed after the inverter installation is complete.
You can also access the modular jack for connecting a programming or monitoring device such as a PC (see Chapter 3). And, you can access the two chassis GND screws on the metal tab at the bottom of the inverter.
2–3
L100 Inverter
2. Second-level access - Locate the lift tab at the right lower corner of the front panel near the safety warning message. Lift the corner to swing the half-door around to the left. This exposes four more control buttons and some connectors.
The FUNC.,
1
, 2 , and STR keys allow an operator to access and change the inverter’s functions and parameter values. The 7 and 8-position connectors provide the interface for logic-level control signals. These signals are generally low-voltage in nature and are appropriate for second-level access.
Controls for mode and parameter changes
Lift tab for opening door
Control signal connectors
Locate the label sheet that came with the manual. This is a good moment to apply the self-sticking labels as shown below. Adhere the larger label for monitor codes and basic functions to the rear of the half-door panel. Then adhere the remaining trip code label to the area beside the connectors. Be careful not to cover the screw access on models like the one shown.
2–4
Orientation to Inverter Features
3. Third-level access - First, ensure no power source of any kind is connected to the inverter. If power has been connected, wait five minutes after powerdown and verify the Power LED is OFF to proceed. Then locate the recessed retention screw on the left side main front panel (it is along the left hinge area on some models, or behind the first access door on others). Use a small screwdriver (Regular or Phillips) to loosen the screw. Swing the door around to the right to reveal the internal components of the drive. The two-level tiered 12-position terminal block accepts wires for the power input and wires to the motor.
Notice the housing partition that lifts out to allow full access to the terminals for wiring as shown. Never operate the inverter drive with the partition removed or the full access door opened.
The alarm circuit connections are accessible on the 3-position connector near the modular connector on the rear of the main panel door.
The nearby relay provides both normallyopen and normally-closed logic for interface to an external alarm. The alarm circuit may carry hazardous live voltages even when the main power to the inverter is OFF. So, never directly touch any terminal or circuit component. A notch in the removable partition serves as the exit path for alarm circuit wiring.
The following sections will describe the system design and guide you through a step-by-step installation process. After the section on wiring, this chapter will show how to use the front panel keys to access functions and edit parameters.

L100 Inverter
Basic System Description
A motor control system will obviously include a motor and inverter, as well as a breaker or fuses for safety. If you are connecting a motor to the inverter on a test bench just to get started, that’s all you may need for now. But a system can also have a variety of additional components. Some can be for noise suppression, while others may enhance the inverter’s braking performance. The figure and table below show a system with all the optional components you may need in your finished application.

The installer must refer to the NEC and local codes to ensure safety and compliance.
This is useful in suppressing harmonics induced on the power supply lines and for improving the power factor.
WARNING: Some applications must use an inputside AC reactor to prevent inverter damage. See
Warning on next page.
Radio noise filter Electrical noise interference may occur on nearby equipment such as a radio receiver. This magnetic choke filter helps reduce radiated noise (can also be used on output).

CE applications, see Appendix D)
Radio noise filter
(use in non-CE applications)
DC link choke
Reduces the conducted noise on the power supply wiring between the inverter and the power distribution system. Connect to the inverter primary (input side).
This capacitive filter reduces radiated noise from the main power wires in the inverter input side.
Suppresses harmonics generated by the inverter.
However, it will not protect the input diode bridge rectifier.
Braking resistor This is useful for increasing the inverter’s control torque for high duty-cycle (ON-OFF) applications, and improving the decelerating capability.
Radio noise filter Electrical noise interference may occur on nearby equipment such as a radio receiver. This magnetic choke filter helps reduce radiated noise (can also be used on input).
Output-side
AC reactor
This reactor reduces the vibrations in the motor caused by the inverter’s switching waveforms, by smoothing the waveform to approximate commercial power quality. It is also useful to reduce harmonics when wiring from the inverter to the motor is more than 10m in length.
LCR filter Sine wave shaping filter for output side.
NOTE: Note that some components are required for regulatory agency compliance (see
Chapter 5 and Appendix C).
2–6
Step-by-Step Basic Installation
WARNING: In the cases below involving a general-purpose inverter, a large peak current can flow on the power supply side, sometimes destroying the converter module:
1.The unbalance factor of the power supply is 3% or higher.
2.The power supply capacity is at least 10 times greater than the inverter capacity
(or the power supply capacity is 500 kVA or more).
3.Abrupt power supply changes are expected, due to conditions such as: a. Several inverters are interconnected with a short bus.
b. A thyristor converter and an inverter are interconnected with a short bus.
c. An installed phase advance capacitor opens and closes.
Where these conditions exist or when the connected equipment must be highly reliable, you MUST install an input-side AC reactor of 3% (at a voltage drop at rated current) with respect to the supply voltage on the power supply side. Also, where the effects of an indirect lightning strike are possible, install a lightning conductor.
Step-by-Step Basic Installation
This section will guide you through the following basic steps of installation:
1. Study the warnings associated with mounting the inverter.
2. Select a suitable mounting location.
NOTE: If the installation is in an EU country, study the EMC installation guidelines in
Appendix C.
3. Place covers over the inverter’s ventilation openings to prevent debris from entering.
4. Check the inverter mounting dimensions for footprint and mounting hole locations.
5. Study the caution and warning messages associated with wiring the inverter.
6. Connect wiring for the inverter power input.
7. Connect wiring to the motor.
8. Remove any covers applied in Step 3 from the inverter’s ventilation openings.
CAUTION: The inverter is shipped with a plastic cover over the top vent grill.
REMOVE this cover after the installation is complete. Operation with this cover in place will not allow proper cooling, and damage to the inverter may result.
9. Perform a powerup test.
10. Make observations and check your installation.

Choosing a Mounting Location
1
Step 1: Study the following caution messages associated with mounting the inverter.
This is the time when mistakes are most likely to occur that will result in expensive rework, equipment damage, or personal injury.
CAUTION: Be sure to install the unit on flame-resistant material such as a steel plate.
Otherwise, there is the danger of fire.
CAUTION: Be sure not to place any flammable materials near the inverter. Otherwise, there is the danger of fire.
CAUTION: Be sure not to let the foreign matter enter vent openings in the inverter housing, such as wire clippings, spatter from welding, metal shavings, dust, etc. Otherwise, there is the danger of fire.
CAUTION: Be sure to install the inverter in a place that can bear the weight according to the specifications in the text (Chapter 1, Specifications Tables). Otherwise, it may fall and cause injury to personnel.
CAUTION: Be sure to install the unit on a perpendicular wall that is not subject to vibration. Otherwise, it may fall and cause injury to personnel.
CAUTION: Be sure not to install or operate an inverter that is damaged or has missing parts. Otherwise, it may cause injury to personnel.
CAUTION: Be sure to install the inverter in a well-ventilated room that does not have direct exposure to sunlight, a tendency for high temperature, high humidity or dew condensation, high levels of dust, corrosive gas, explosive gas, inflammable gas, grinding-fluid mist, salt damage, etc. Otherwise, there is the danger of fire.

Step-by-Step Basic Installation
Ensure Adequate Ventilation
2
Step 2: To summarize the caution messages—you will need to find a solid, non-flammable, vertical surface that is in a relatively clean and dry environment. In order to ensure enough room for air circulation around the inverter to aid in cooling, maintain the specified clearance around the inverter specified in the diagram.

CAUTION: Be sure to maintain the specified clearance area around the inverter and to provide adequate ventilation. Otherwise, the inverter may overheat and cause equipment damage or fire.
Keep Debris Out of Inverter Vents
3
Step 3: Before proceeding to the wiring section, it’s a good time to temporarily cover the inverter’s ventilation openings. Paper and masking tape are all that is needed. This will prevent harmful debris such as wire clippings and metal shavings from entering the inverter during installation. The inverter housing comes from the factory with a snap-in cover on the top of its housing. Ensure it is in place at this time (also to be removed later, unless the installation must have a NEMA rating).
Please observe this checklist while mounting the inverter:
Top cover installed
Ventilation holes
(both sides)
1. The ambient temperature must be in the range of -10 to 40°C. If the range will be up to 50°C, you will need to set the carrier frequency to 2.1 kHz or less and derate the output current to 80% or less. Chapter 3 covers how to change parameters such as the carrier frequency. Remember to remove the top cover (unless the installation is to have a NEMA rating)!
2. Keep any other heat-producing equipment as far away from the inverter as possible.
L100 Inverter
3. When installing the inverter in an enclosure, maintain the clearance around the inverter and verify that its ambient temperature is within specification when the enclosure door is closed.
4. Do not open the main front panel door at any time during operation.

Wire the Inverter Input to a Supply
6
Step 6: In this step, you will connect wiring to the input of the inverter. First, you must determine whether the inverter model you have requires three-phase power only, or if it can accept either single-phase or three-phase power.
All models have the same power connector terminals [L1], [L2], and [N/L3]. So, you must refer to the specifications label (on the side of the inverter) for the acceptable power source types! For inverters that can accept singlephase power and are connected that way, terminal [L2] will remain unconnected.
The wiring example to the right shows an L100 inverter wired for 3-phase input. Note the use of ring lug connectors for a secure connection.

NOTE: An inverter powered by a portable power generator may receive a distorted power waveform, overheating the generator. In general, the generator capacity should be five times that of the inverter (kVA).
CAUTION: Be sure that the input voltage matches the inverter specifications:
• Single/Three phase 200 to 240 V 50/60 Hz (up to 2.2kW)
• Three phase 200 to 230V 50/60Hz (above 2.2kW)
• Three phase 380 to 460 V 50/60Hz
CAUTION: Be sure not to power a three-phase-only inverter with single phase power.
Otherwise, there is the possibility of damage to the inverter and the danger of fire.

CAUTION: Remarks for using ground fault interrupter breakers in the main power supply:
Adjustable frequency inverters with CE-filters (RFI-filter) and shielded (screened) motor cables have a higher leakage current toward Earth GND. Especially at the moment of switching ON this can cause an inadvertent trip of ground fault interrupters. Because of the rectifier on the input side of the inverter there is the possibility to stall the switch-off function through small amounts of DC current. Please observe the following:
• Use only short time-invariant and pulse current-sensitive ground fault interrupters with higher trigger current.
• Other components should be secured with separate ground fault interrupters.
• Ground fault interrupters in the power input wiring of an inverter are not an absolute protection against electric shock.
CAUTION: Be sure to install a fuse for each phase of the main power supply to the inverter. Otherwise, there is the danger of fire.
CAUTION: For motor leads, ground fault interrupter breakers and electromagnetic contactors, be sure to size these components properly (each must have the capacity for rated current and voltage). Otherwise, there is the danger of fire.

Step 7: The process of motor selection is beyond the scope of this manual. However, it must be an AC induction motor with three phases. It should also come with a chassis ground lug. If the motor does not have three power input leads, stop the installation and verify the motor type. Other guidelines for wiring the motor include:
• Use an inverter-grade motor for maximum motor life (1600V insulation).
• For standard motors, use the AC reactor accessory if the wiring between the inverter and motor exceeds 10 meters in length.
Simply connect the motor to the terminals
[U/T1], [V/T2], and [W/T3] as shown to the right. This is a good time to connect the chassis ground lug on the drive as well. The motor chassis ground must also connect to the same point. Use a star ground (singlepoint) arrangement, and never daisy-chain the grounds (point-to-point).
Use the same wire gauge on the motor and chassis ground wiring as you used on the power input wiring in the previous step. After completing the wiring:
• Check the mechanical integrity of each wire crimp and terminal connection.
• Replace the housing partition that covers access to the power connections.
• Close the main door and secure the retention screw firmly.

Logic Control Wiring
After completing the initial installation and powerup test in this chapter, you may need to wire the logic signal connector for your application. For new inverter users/applications, we highly recommend that you first complete the powerup test in this chapter without adding any logic control wiring. Then you will be ready to set the required parameters for logic control as covered in Chapter 4, Operations and Monitoring.

Step 8: After mounting and wiring the inverter, remove any covers from the inverter housing.
This includes material over the side ventilation ports. Remove the square cover panel at the top of the housing.
WARNING: Make sure the input power to the inverter is OFF. If the drive has been powered, leave it OFF for five minutes before continuing.
The top housing cover is held in place by four locking tabs. To remove the cover, squeeze two corners together and push a small screwdriver under one side as shown, while pulling upward. Hold the screwdriver at the angle shown, and DO NOT push the screwdriver or any object through ventilation openings and into the inverter.
Powerup Test
9
Step 9: After wiring the inverter and motor, you’re ready to do a powerup test. The procedure that follows is designed for the first-time use of the drive. Please verify the following conditions before conducting the powerup test:
• You have followed all the steps in this chapter up to this step.
• The inverter is new, and is securely mounted to a non-flammable vertical surface
• The inverter is connected to a power source and motor.
• No additional wiring of inverter connectors or terminals has been done.
• The power supply is reliable, and the motor is a known working unit, and the motor nameplate ratings match the inverter ratings.
• The motor is securely mounted, and is not connected to any load.
Goals for the Powerup Test
If there are any exceptions to the above conditions at this step, please take a moment to take any measures necessary to reach this basic starting point. The specific goals of this powerup test are:
1. Verify that the wiring to the power supply and motor is correct.
2. Demonstrate that the inverter and motor are generally compatible.
3. Give a brief introduction to the use of the built-in operator keypad.
The powerup test gives you an important starting point to ensure a safe and successful application of the Hitachi inverter. We highly recommend performing this test before proceeding to the other chapters in this manual.
2–20
Powerup Test
Pre-test and Operational Precautions
The following instructions apply to the powerup test, or to any time the inverter is powered and operating. Please study the following instructions and messages before proceeding with the powerup test.
1. The power supply must have fusing suitable for the load. Check the fuse size chart presented in Step 5, if necessary.
2. Be sure you have access to a disconnect switch for the drive input power if necessary.
However, do not turn OFF power during inverter operation unless it is an emergency.
3. Turn the front panel potentiometer to the MIN position (fully counter-clockwise).
CAUTION: The heat sink fins will have a high temperature. Be careful not to touch them. Otherwise, there is the danger of getting burned.
CAUTION: The operation of the inverter can be easily changed from low speed to high speed. Be sure to check the capability and limitations of the motor and machine before operating the inverter. Otherwise, there is the danger of injury.
CAUTION: If you operate a motor at a frequency higher than the inverter standard default setting (50Hz/60Hz), be sure to check the motor and machine specifications with the respective manufacturer. Only operate the motor at elevated frequencies after getting their approval. Otherwise, there is the danger of equipment damage and/or injury.
CAUTION: Check the following before and during the powerup test. Otherwise, there is the danger of equipment damage.
• Is the shorting bar between the [+1] and [+] terminals installed? DO NOT power or operate the inverter if the jumper is removed.
• Is the direction of the motor rotation correct?
• Did the inverter trip during acceleration or deceleration?
• Were the rpm and frequency meter readings as expected?
• Were there any abnormal motor vibrations or noise?
Powering the Inverter
If you have followed all the steps, cautions and warnings up to this point, you’re ready to apply power. After doing so, the following events should occur:
• The POWER LED will illuminate.
• The numeric (7-segment) LEDs will display a test pattern, then stop at
0.0
.
• The Hz LED will be ON.
If the motor starts running unexpectedly or any other problem occurs, press the STOP key. Only if necessary should you remove power to the inverter as a remedy.
NOTE: If the inverter has been previously powered and programmed, the LEDs (other than the POWER LED) may illuminate differently than as indicated above. If necessary, you can initialize all parameters to the factory default settings. See
Default Settings” on page 6–8 .

Selecting Functions and Editing Parameters
In order to run the motor for the powerup test, this section will show how to:
• select the inverter’s maximum output frequency to the motor
• select the keypad potentiometer as the source of motor speed command
• select the keypad as the source of the RUN command
• enable the RUN command
The following series of programming tables are designed for successive use. Each table uses the previous table’s final state as the starting point. Therefore, start with the first and continue programming until the last one. If you get lost or concerned that some of
the other parameters settings may be incorrect, refer to “Restoring Factory Default
.
CAUTION: If you operate a motor at a frequency higher than the inverter standard default setting (50Hz/60Hz), be sure to check the motor and machine specifications with the respective manufacturer. Only operate the motor at elevated frequencies after getting their approval. Otherwise, there is the danger of equipment damage.
Setting the Motor Base Frequency -The motor is designed to operate at a specific AC frequency. Most commercial motors are designed for 50/60 Hz operation. First, check the motor specifications. Then follow the steps in the table below to verify the setting or correct for your motor. DO NOT set it for greater than 50/60 Hz unless the motor manufacturer specifically approves operation at the higher frequency.

Running the Motor
If you have programmed all the parameters up to this point, you’re ready to run the motor! First, review this checklist:
1. Verify the Power LED is ON. If not, check the power connections.
2. Verify the Run Key Enable LED is ON. If not, review the programming steps to find the problem.
3. Verify the PRG LED is OFF. If it is ON, review the instructions above.
4. Make sure the motor is disconnected from any mechanical load.
5. Turn the potentiometer to the MIN position (completely counterclockwise).
6. Now, press the RUN key on the keypad. The RUN LED will turn ON.
7. Slowly increase the potentiometer setting in clockwise fashion. The motor should start turning when the indicator is in the 9:00 position and beyond.
8. Press the STOP key to stop the motor rotation.

Powerup Test Observations and Summary
10
Step 10: Reading this section will help you make some useful observations when first running the motor.
Error Codes - If the inverter displays an error code (format is “
E x x
Trip Events, History, & Conditions” on page 6–5 to interpret and clear the error.
Acceleration and Deceleration - The L100 inverter has programmable acceleration and deceleration values. The test procedure left these at the default value, 10 seconds. You can observe this by setting the potentiometer at about half speed before running the motor. Then press RUN, and the motor will take 5 seconds to reach a steady speed. Press the STOP key to see a 5 second deceleration to a stop.
State of Inverter at Stop - If you adjust the motor’s speed to zero, the motor will slow to a near stop, and the inverter turns the outputs OFF. The high-performance L100 can rotate at a very slow speed with high torque output, but not zero (must use servo systems with position feedback for that feature). This characteristic means you must use a mechanical brake for some applications.
Interpreting the Display - First, refer to the output frequency display readout. The maximum frequency setting (parameter A_04) defaults to 50 Hz or 60 Hz (Europe and
United States, respectively) for your application.
Example: Suppose a 4-pole motor is rated for 60 Hz operation, so the inverter is configured to output 60 Hz at full scale. Use the following formula to calculate the RPM.
Speed in RPM =
Pairs of poles
=
# of poles
=
60 120
4
= 1800RPM
The theoretical speed for the motor is 1800 RPM (speed of torque vector rotation).
However, the motor cannot generate torque unless its shaft turns at a slightly different speed. This difference is called slip. So it’s common to see a rated speed of approximately 1750 RPM on a 60 Hz, 4-pole motor. Using a tachometer to measure shaft speed, you can see the difference between the inverter output frequency and the actual motor speed. The slip increases slightly as the motor’s load increases. This is why the inverter output value is called “frequency,” since it is not exactly equal to motor speed. You can program the inverter to display output frequency in units more directly related to the load
speed by entering a constant (discussed more in depth on page 3–29 ).
Run/Stop Versus Monitor/Program Modes – The
Run LED on the inverter is ON in Run Mode, and
OFF in Stop Mode. The Program LED is ON when the inverter is in Program Mode, and OFF for
Monitor Mode. All four mode combinations are possible. The diagram to the right depicts the modes and the mode transitions via keypad.

NOTE: Some factory automation devices such as PLCs have alternate Run/Program modes; the device is in either one mode or the other. In the Hitachi inverter, however,
Run Mode alternates with Stop Mode, and Program Mode alternates with Monitor
Mode. This arrangement lets you program some values while the inverter is operating— providing flexibility for maintenance personnel.

Choosing a Programming Device
Choosing a Programming Device
Introduction
Hitachi variable frequency drives (inverters) use the latest electronics technology for getting the right AC waveform to the motor at the right time. The benefits are many, including energy savings and higher machine output or productivity. The flexibility required to handle a broad range of applications has required ever more configurable options and parameters—inverters are now a complex industrial automation component.
And this can make a product seem difficult to use, but the goal of this chapter is to make this easier for you.
As the powerup test in Chapter 2 demonstrated, you do not have to program very many parameters to run the motor. In fact, most applications would benefit only from programming just a few, specific parameters. This chapter will explain the purpose of each set of parameters, and help you choose the ones that are important to your application.
If you are developing a new application for the inverter and a motor, finding the right parameters to change is mostly an exercise in optimization. Therefore, it is okay to begin running the motor with a loosely tuned system. By making specific, individual changes and observing their effects, you can achieve a finely tuned system.
Introduction to Inverter Programming
The front panel keypad is the first and best way to get to know the inverter’s capabilities.
Every function or programmable parameter is accessible from the keypad. The other devices simply imitate the keypad’s layout and inverter access, while adding another valuable aspect to the system. For example, the Copy Unit can transfer one inverter’s parameter settings to another inverter, while still providing standard operator keypad control. In this way, you can use a variety of programming devices with basically the same keypad skills. The following table shows various programming options, the features unique to each device, and the cables required.

Operational Modes
The RUN and PGM LEDs tell just part of the story;
Run Mode and Program Modes are independent modes, not opposite modes. In the state diagram to the right, Run alternates with Stop, and Program
Mode alternates with Monitor Mode. This is a very important ability, for it shows that a technician can approach a running machine and change some parameters without shutting down the machine.
The occurrence of a fault during operation will cause the inverter to enter the Trip Mode as shown.
An event such as an output overload will cause the inverter to exit the Run Mode and turn OFF its output to the motor. In the Trip Mode, any request to run the motor is ignored. You must clear the error by pressing the Stop/Reset switch. See page
“Monitoring Trip Events, History, & Conditions” on page 6–5 .

Run Mode Edits
The inverter can be in Run Mode (inverter output is controlling motor) and still allow you to edit certain parameters. This is useful in applications that must run continuously, yet need some inverter parameter adjustment.
The parameter tables in this chapter have a column titled “Run
Mode Edit.” An Ex mark
✘ means the parameter cannot be edited; a Check mark
✔ means the parameter can be edited.
The Software Lock Setting (parameter B_31) determines when the Run Mode access permission is in effect and access permission in other conditions, as well. It is the responsibility of the user to choose a useful and safe software lock setting for the inverter operating conditions and personnel. Please refer to
“Software Lock Mode” on page 3–26

Control Algorithms
The motor control program in the L100 inverter has two PWM sinusoidal switching algorithms. The intent is that you select the best algorithm for the motor characteristics in your application. Both algorithms generate the frequency output in a unique way. Once configured, the algorithm is the basis for other parameter settings as well
(see
“Torque Control Algorithms” on page 3–13 ). Therefore, choose the best
algorithm early in your application design process.

You can access important system parameter values with the “D” Group monitoring functions, whether the inverter is in Run Mode or Stop Mode. After selecting the function code number for the parameter you want to monitor, press the Function key once to show the value on the display. In Functions D_05 and D_06, the intelligent terminals use individual segments of the display to show ON/OFF status.
If the inverter display is set to monitor a parameter and powerdown occurs, the inverter stores the present monitor function setting. For your convenience, the display automatically returns to the previously monitored parameter upon the next powerup.

Output frequency
F 01
F 02 F 03 maximum frequency, or from maximum frequency to zero). The motor direction
0 t parameter determines whether the keypad
Run key produces a FWD or REV command. This parameter does not affect the intelligent terminal [FWD] and [REV] functions, which you configure separately.
Acceleration 1 and Deceleration 1 are the standard default accel and decel values for the main profile. Accel and decel values for an alternative profile are specified by using parameters A_92 through A_93. The motor direction selection (F_04) determines the direction of rotation as commanded only from the keypad.

L100 Inverter
“A” Group: Standard Functions
Basic Parameter Settings
These settings affect the most fundamental behavior of the inverter—the outputs to the motor. The frequency of the inverter’s AC output determines the motor speed. You may select from three different sources for the reference speed. During application development you may prefer using the potentiometer, but you may switch to an external source
(control terminal setting) in the finished application, for example.
The base frequency and maximum frequency settings interact according to the graph below (left). The inverter output operation follows the constant V/f curve until it reaches the full-scale output voltage. This initial straight line is the constant-torque part of the operating characteristic. The horizontal line over to the maximum frequency serves to let the motor run faster, but at a reduced torque. If you want the motor to output constant torque over its entire operating range (limited to the motor nameplate voltage and frequency rating), then set the base frequency and maximum frequency equal as shown
(below right).

“A” Group: Standard Functions
Analog Input Settings
The inverter has the capability to accept an external analog input that can command the output frequency to the motor. Voltage input (0 –10V) and current input (4–20mA) are available on separate terminals ([O] and [OI], respectively). Terminal [L] serves as signal ground for the two analog inputs. The analog input settings adjust the curve characteristics between the analog input and the frequency output.
In the graph below (left), A_13 and A_14 select the active portion of the input voltage or current range. The parameters A_11 and A_12 select the start and end frequency of the converted output frequency range, respectively. Together, these four parameters define a line segment as shown (below, right). When the line does not begin at the origin, A_15 defines whether the inverter outputs 0Hz or the A_11 frequency when the analog input value is less than the A_13 setting (determines the non-linear part of the translation).

Multi-speed and Jog Frequency Setting
The L100 inverter has the capability to store and output up to 16 preset frequencies to the motor (A_20 to A_35). As in traditional motion terminology, we call this multi-
speed profile capability. These preset frequencies are selected by means of digital inputs to the inverter. The inverter applies the current acceleration or deceleration setting to change from the current output frequency to the new one.
The jog speed setting is used whenever the Jog command is active. The jog speed setting range is arbitrarily limited to 10 Hz, to provide safety during manual operation. The acceleration to the jog frequency is instantaneous, but you can choose from three modes for the best method for stopping the jog operation.

Torque Control Algorithms
The inverter generates the motor output according to the V/f algorithm selected.
Parameter A_44 selects the inverter algorithm for generating the frequency output, as shown in the diagram to the right. The factory default is 00 (constant torque).
Review the following description to help you choose the best torque control algorithm for your application.

• The built-in V/f curves are oriented toward developing constant torque or variable torque characteristics (see graphs below). You can select either constant torque or reduced torque V/f control.
Constant and Variable (Reduced) Torque – The graph below (left) shows the constant torque characteristic from 0Hz to the base frequency A_03. The voltage remains constant for output frequencies higher than the base frequency. The graph below (right) shows the general variable (reduced) torque curve. The range from 0Hz to the base frequency is the variable characteristic.

PID Control
When enabled, the built-in PID loop calculates an ideal inverter output value to cause a loop feedback process variable (PV) to move closer in value to the setpoint (SP). The current frequency command serves as the SP. The PID loop algorithm will read the analog input for the process variable (you specify the current or voltage input) and calculate the output.
• A scale factor in A_75 lets you multiply the PV by a factor, converting it into engineering units for the process.
• Proportional, integral, and derivative gains are all adjustable.

NOTE: For A_95 and A_96, if you set a very rapid Acc1 or Dec1 time (less than 1.0 second), the inverter may not be able to change rates to Acc2 or Dec2 before reaching the target frequency. In that case, the inverter decreases the rate of Acc1 or Dec1 in order to achieve the second ramp to the target frequency.

“B” Group: Fine Tuning Functions
The “B” Group of functions and parameters adjust some of the more subtle but useful aspects of motor control and system configuration.
Automatic Restart Mode
The restart mode determines how the inverter will resume operation after a fault causes a trip event. The four options provide advantages for various situations. Frequency matching allows the inverter to read the motor speed by virtue of its residual magnetic flux and restart the output at the corresponding frequency. The inverter can attempt a restart a certain number of times depending on the particular trip event:
• Over-current trip, restart up to 3 times
• Over-voltage trip, restart up to 3 times
• Under-voltage trip, restart up to 16 times
When the inverter reaches the maximum number of restarts (3 or 16), you must powercycle the inverter to reset its operation.
Other parameters specify the allowable under-voltage level and the delay time before restarting. The proper settings depend on the typical fault conditions for your application, the necessity of restarting the process in unattended situations, and whether restarting is always safe.

Time delay after under-voltage condition goes away, before the inverter runs motor again.
Range is 0.3 to 100 seconds.

B_12. The range is 50% to 120% of the rated current for each inverter model. If the current exceeds the level you specify, the inverter will trip and log an event (error E05) in the history table. The inverter turns the motor output OFF when tripped.

WARNING: When parameter B_12, level of electronic thermal setting, is set to device
FLA rating (Full Load Ampere nameplate rating), the device provides solid state motor overload protection at 115% of device FLA or equivalent. Parameter B_12, level of electronic thermal setting, is a variable parameter.
NOTE: For inverter models 005NFE, 011NFE, and 030HFE, the thermal value is less than the rated amperes (is the same as models 004NFE, 007NFE, and 040HFE respectively). Therefore, be sure to set the electronic thermal overload according to the actual motor driven by the particular inverter.

Overload Restriction
If the inverter’s output current exceeds a preset current level you specify during acceleration or constant speed, the overload restriction feature automatically reduces the output frequency to restrict the overload.
This feature does not generate an alarm or trip event. You can instruct the inverter to apply overload restriction only during constant speed, thus allowing higher currents for acceleration. Or, you may use the same threshold for both acceleration and constant speed. In the case of controlled deceleration, the inverter monitors both output current and DC bus voltage. The inverter will increase output frequency to try to avoid a trip due to over-current or over-voltage (due to regeneration).

“B” Group: Fine Tuning Functions
Miscellaneous Settings
The miscellaneous settings include scaling factors, initialization modes, and others. This section covers some of the most important settings you may need to configure.
B_32: Reactive current setting – The inverter’s D_02 monitor function displays the motor current. The display accuracy is normally ±20%, provided that the following conditions exist:
• A single motor with standard frame size and characteristics is connected
• The inverter’s output frequency is at 50% or higher of the maximum output frequency
• The inverter’s output current is within the rated current
However, it will be necessary to calibrate the display accuracy via B_32 adjustment of the internal no-load reactive motor current if any of these conditions exist:
• The motor is smaller than the standard maximum recommended for the inverter
• The motor is a two-pole motor type
• Two or more motors are connected in parallel to the inverter (be sure to multiply the current by the number of motors when setting B_32)
If you do not know the reactive or no-load current for your particular motor, you can calibrate the L100 as follows:
1. Connect the motor directly across the AC line with no load attached to the shaft.
WARNING: Use a disconnect switch or breaker to ensure that you do not connect the motor or inverter to live wiring. Otherwise, there is the danger of electric shock.
2. Run the motor, and measure the no-load current with an AC current clamp, recording the value.
3. Disconnect the motor from the AC line connection, and connect the motor to the
L100 inverter output (still with no load attached).
4. Run the motor at the base frequency (value of parameter A_03), and monitor the motor current with function D_02.
5. If the D_02 display value does not match the current clamp value recorded in Step 2, adjust parameter B_32 up or down until the best match is achieved.
NOTE: Parameter setting B_32 affects the inverter’s electronic thermal protection
(B_12 setting) and its overload restriction function (B_22 setting).
B_83: Carrier frequency adjustment – The internal switching frequency of the inverter circuitry (also called the chopper frequency). It is called the carrier frequency because the lower AC output frequency of the inverter “rides” the carrier. The faint, high-pitched sound you hear when the inverter is in Run Mode is characteristic of switching power supplies in general. The carrier frequency is adjustable from 500 Hz to
16 kHz. The audible sound decreases at the higher frequencies, but RFI noise and leakage current may be increased. Refer to the specification derating curves in Chapter 1 to determine the maximum allowable carrier frequency setting for your particular inverter and environmental conditions.
L100 Inverter
3–29
NOTE: When DC braking is performed, the inverter automatically holds the carrier frequency at 1 kHz.
NOTE: The carrier frequency setting must stay within specified limits for invertermotor applications that must comply with particular regulatory agencies. For example, a
European CE-approved application requires the inverter carrier to be less than 5 kHz.
B_84, B_85: Initialization codes – These functions allow you to restore the factory default settings. Please refer to
“Restoring Factory Default Settings” on page 6–8
.
B_86: Frequency display scaling – You can convert the output frequency monitor on
D_01 to a scaled number (engineering units) monitored at function D_07. For example, the motor may run a conveyor that is monitored in feet per minute. Use this formula:
Scaled output frequency (D_07) = Output frequency (D_01) Factor (B_86)

B_88: Restart Mode Configuration – You can configure how the inverter resumes motor output control after a free-run stop. Setting B_88 determines whether the inverter will ensure the motor always resumes at 0 Hz, or whether the motor resumes from its current coasting speed (also called frequency matching). The Run command may turn
OFF briefly, allowing the motor to coast to a slower speed from which normal operation can resume.
In most applications a controlled deceleration is desirable. However, applications such as HVAC fan control will often use a free-run stop. This practice decreases dynamic stress on system components, prolonging system life. In this case, you will typically set
B_88=01 in order to resume from the current speed after a free-run stop (see diagram below, right). Note that using the default setting, B_88=00, can cause trip events when the inverter attempts to force the load quickly to zero speed.
NOTE: Other events can cause (or be configured to cause) a free-run stop, such as power loss (see
“Automatic Restart Mode” on page 3–22 ), or an intelligent input
terminal [FRS] signal. If all free-run stop behavior is important to your application (such as HVAC), be sure to configure each event accordingly.
An additional parameter further configures all instances of a free-run stop. Parameter
B_03, Retry Wait Time Before Motor Restart, sets the minimum time the inverter will free-run. For example, if B_03 = 4 seconds and the cause of the free-run-stop lasts
10 seconds, the inverter will free-run (coast) for a total of 14 seconds before driving the motor again.

The five input terminals [1], [2], [3], [4], and [5] can be configured for any of fifteen different functions. The next two tables show how to configure the five terminals. The inputs are logical, in that they are either OFF or ON. We define these states as OFF=0, and ON=1.
The inverter comes with default options for the five terminals. These default settings are initially unique, each one having its own setting. Note that European and US versions have different default settings. You can use any option on any terminal, and even use the same option twice to create a logical OR (though usually not required).
NOTE: Terminal [5] has the ability to be a logical input, and to be an analog input for a thermistor device when the PTC function (option code 19) is assigned to that terminal.

Intelligent Input Terminal Overview
Each of the five intelligent terminals may be assigned any of the options in the following table. When you program one of the option codes for terminal assignments C_01 to
C_05, the respective terminal assumes the function role of that option code. The terminal functions have a symbol or abbreviation that we use to label a terminal using that function. For example the “Forward Run” command is [FW]. The physical label on the terminal block connector is simply 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. However, schematic examples in this manual also use the terminal symbol (such as [FW]) to show the assigned option. The option codes for C_11 to C_15 determines the active state of the logical input (active high or active low).

Output Function Adjustment Parameters
The following parameters work in conjunction with the intelligent output function, when configured. The overload level parameter (C_41) sets the motor current level at which the overload signal
[OL] turns ON. The range of settings is from 0% to 200% of the rated current for the inverter. This function is for generating an early warning logic output, without causing either a trip event or a restriction of the motor current (those effects are available on other functions).

Introduction
Introduction
The previous material in Chapter 3 gave a reference listing of all the programmable functions of the inverter. We suggest that you first scan through the listing of inverter functions to gain a general familiarity. This chapter will build on that knowledge in the following ways:
1. Related functions – Some parameters interact with or depend on the settings in other functions. This chapter lists “required settings” for a programmable function to serve as a cross-reference and an aid in showing how functions interact.
2. Intelligent terminals – Some functions rely on an input signal on a control logic connector terminal, or generate output signals in other cases.
3. Electrical interfaces – This chapter shows how to make connections between the inverter and other electrical devices.
4. PID Loop Operation – The L100 has a built-in PID loop that calculates the optimal inverter output frequency to control an external process. This chapter shows the parameters and input/output terminals associated with PID loop operation.
5. Multiple motors – A single L100 inverter may be used with two or more motors in some types of applications. This chapter shows the electrical connections involved in multiple-motor applications.
The topics in this chapter can help you decide the features that are important to your application, and how to use them. The basic installation covered in Chapter 2 concluded with the powerup test and running the motor. Now, this chapter starts from that point and shows how to make the inverter part of a larger control or automation system.
Caution Messages for Operating Procedures
Before continuing, please read the following Caution messages.
CAUTION: The heat sink fins will have a high temperature. Be careful not to touch them. Otherwise, there is the danger of getting burned.
CAUTION: The operation of the inverter can be easily changed from low speed to high speed. Be sure check the capability and limitations of the motor and machine before operating the inverter. Otherwise, it may cause injury to personnel.
CAUTION: If you operate a motor at a frequency higher than the inverter standard default setting (50Hz/60Hz), be sure to check the motor and machine specifications with the respective manufacturer. Only operate the motor at elevated frequencies after getting their approval. Otherwise, there is the danger of equipment damage.

Warning Messages for Operating Procedures
Before continuing, please read the following Warning messages.
WARNING: Be sure to turn ON the input power supply only after closing the front case. While being energized, be sure not to open the front case. Otherwise, there is the danger of electric shock.
WARNING: Be sure not to operate electrical equipment with wet hands. Otherwise, there is the danger of electric shock.
WARNING: While the inverter is energized, be sure not to touch the inverter terminals even when the motor is stopped. Otherwise, there is the danger of electric shock.
WARNING: If the Retry Mode is selected, the motor may suddenly restart after a trip stop. Be sure to stop the inverter before approaching the machine (be sure to design the machine so that safety for personnel is secure even if it restarts.) Otherwise, it may cause injury to personnel.
WARNING: If the power supply is cut OFF for a short period of time, the inverter may restart operation after the power supply recovers if the Run command is active. If a restart may pose danger to personnel, so be sure to use a lock-out circuit so that it will not restart after power recovery. Otherwise, it may cause injury to personnel.
WARNING: The Stop Key is effective only when the Stop function is enabled. Be sure to enable the Stop Key separately from the emergency stop. Otherwise, it may cause injury to personnel.
WARNING: During a trip event, if the alarm reset is applied and the Run command is present, the inverter will automatically restart. Be sure to apply the alarm reset only after verifying the Run command is OFF. Otherwise, it may cause injury to personnel.
WARNING: Be sure not to touch the inside of the energized inverter or to put any conductive object into it. Otherwise, there is a danger of electric shock and/or fire.
WARNING: If power is turned ON when the Run command is already active, the motor will automatically start and injury may result. Before turning ON the power, confirm that the RUN command is not present.
WARNING: When the Stop key function is disabled, pressing the Stop key does not stop the inverter, nor will it reset a trip alarm.
WARNING: Be sure to provide a separate, hard-wired emergency stop switch when the application warrants it.

Connecting to PLCs and Other Devices
Connecting to PLCs and Other Devices
Hitachi inverters (drives) are useful in many types of applications. During installation, the inverter keypad (or other programming device) will facilitate the initial configuration. After installation, the inverter will generally receive its control commands through the control logic connector or serial interface from another controlling device. In a simple application such as single-conveyor speed control, a Run/Stop switch and potentiometer will give the operator all the required control. In a sophisticated application, you may have a programmable logic controller (PLC) as the system controller, with several connections to the inverter.
It is not possible to cover all the possible types of application in this manual. It will be necessary for you to know the electrical characteristics of the devices you want to connect to the inverter. Then, this section and the following sections on I/O terminal functions can help you quickly and safely connect those devices to the inverter.
CAUTION: It is possible to damage the inverter or other devices if your application exceeds the maximum current or voltage characteristics of a connection point.
The connections between the inverter and other devices rely on the electrical input/ output characteristics at both ends of each connection, shown in the diagram to the right. The inverter’s inputs require a sourcing output from an external device
(such as a PLC). This chapter shows the inverter’s internal electrical component(s) at each I/O terminal. In some cases, you will need to insert a power source in the interface wiring.

2. Make sure that the logic sense (active high or active low) of any ON/OFF connection is correct.
3. Check the zero and span (curve end points) for analog connections, and be sure the scale factor from input to output is correct.
4. Understand what will happen at the system level if any particular device suddenly loses power, or powers up after other devices.

Using Intelligent Input Terminals
Using Intelligent Input Terminals
Terminals [1], [2], [3], [4], and [5] are identical, programmable inputs for general use.
The input circuits can use the inverter’s internal (isolated) +24V field supply (P24) to power the inputs. The input circuits are internally connected to the power supply ground.
As the diagram shows, you can use a switch (or jumper) to activate an input terminal that has been configured.
If you use an external supply, its GND terminal must connect to the [L] terminal on the inverter to complete the input circuit. Current can only flow into each input, so they are sinking inputs, whether powered internally or externally.
NOTE: We recommend using the top row [L] logic GND for logic input circuits and the
[L] GND on the bottom row of terminals for analog I/O circuits.

2 1 P24 Notes:
• When the Forward Run and Reverse Run commands are active at the same time, the inverter enters the Stop Mode.
• When a terminal associated with either [FW] or
[RV] function is configured for normally closed, the motor starts rotation when that terminal is disconnected or otherwise has no input voltage.
.
NOTE: The parameter F_04, Keypad Run Key Routing, determines whether the single
Run key issues a Run FWD command or Run REV command. However, it has no effect on the [FW] and [RV] input terminal operation.
WARNING: If the power is turned ON and the Run command is already active, the motor starts rotation and is dangerous! Before turning power ON, confirm that the Run command is not active.

Using Intelligent Input Terminals
Multi-Speed Select
The inverter can store up to 16 different target frequencies (speeds) that the motor output uses for steady-state run condition. These speeds are accessible through programming four of the intelligent terminals as binary-encoded inputs CF1 to CF4 per the table to the right. These can be any of the five inputs, and in any order. You can use fewer inputs if you need eight or fewer speeds.
Note: When choosing a subset of speeds to use, always start at the top of the table, and with the least-significant bit: CF1, CF2, etc.
The example with eight speeds in the figure below shows how input switches configured for CF1–
CF3 functions can change the motor speed in real time.

While using the multi-speed capability, you can monitor the current frequency with monitor function D_01 during each segment of a multi-speed operation.
There are two ways to program the speeds into the registers A_20 to A_35:
1. Standard keypad programming:
a. Select each parameter A_20 to A_35.
b. Press the
FUNC.
key to view the parameter value.
c. Use the
1
and 2 keys to edit the value.
d. Use the
STR
key to save the data to memory.
2. Programming using the CF switches. Set the speed by following these steps:
a. Turn the Run command OFF (Stop Mode).
b. Turn each switch ON and set it to Multi-speed. Display the value of F_01 on the digital operator.
c. Set the desired output frequency by pressing the
1
and 2 keys.
d. Press the
STR
key once to store the set frequency. When this occurs, F_01 indicates the output frequency of Multi-speed n.
e. Press the
FUNC.
key once to confirm that the indication is the same as the set frequency.
f. Repeat operations in 2. a) to 2. e) to set the frequency of other Multi-speeds. It can be set also by parameters A_20 to A_35 in the first procedure 1. a) to 1. d).

Using Intelligent Input Terminals
Jogging Command
The Jog input [JG] is used to command the motor to rotate slowly in small increments for manual operation. The speed is limited to
10 Hz. The frequency for the jogging operation is set by parameter A_38. Jogging does not use an acceleration ramp, so we recommend setting the jogging frequency A_38 to
5 Hz or less to prevent tripping.
When the terminal [JG] is turned ON and the
Run command is issued, the inverter outputs the programmed jog frequency to the motor.
To enable the Run key on the digital operator for jog input, set the value 01(terminal mode) in A_02 (Run command source).

Two-stage Acceleration and Deceleration
When terminal [2CH] is turned ON, the inverter changes the rate of acceleration and deceleration from the initial settings (F_02 and F_03) to use the second set of acceleration/deceleration values. When the terminal is turned OFF, the inverter is returned to the original acceleration and deceleration time
(F_02 acceleration time 1, and F_03 deceleration time 1). Use A_92 (acceleration time 2) and A_93 (deceleration time 2) to set the second stage acceleration and deceleration times.

Free-run Stop
When the terminal [FRS] is turned ON, the inverter stops the output and the motor enters the free-run state (coasting). If terminal [FRS] is turned OFF, the output resumes sending power to the motor if the Run command is still active. The free-run stop feature works with other parameters to provide flexibility in stopping and starting motor rotation.
In the figure below, parameter B_88 selects whether the inverter resumes operation from
0 Hz (left graph) or the current motor rotation speed (right graph) when the [FRS] terminal turns OFF. The application determines the best setting.
Parameter B_03 specifies a delay time before resuming operation from a free-run stop.

External Trip
When the terminal [EXT] is turned ON, the inverter enters the trip state, indicates error code E12, and stops the output. This is a general purpose interrupt type feature, and the meaning of the error depends on what you connect to the [EXT] terminal. Even if the
[EXT] input is turned OFF, the inverter remains in the trip state. You must reset the inverter or cycle power to clear the error, returning the inverter to the Stop Mode.
In the graph below, the [EXT] input turns ON during normal Run Mode operation. The inverter lets the motor free-run to a stop, and the alarm output turns ON immediately.
When the operator initiates a Reset command, the alarm and error are cleared. When the
Reset is turned OFF, the motor begins rotation since the Run command is already active.

Using Intelligent Input Terminals
Unattended Start Protection
If the Run command is already set when power is turned ON, the inverter starts running immediately after powerup. The Unattended Start Protection (USP) function prevents that automatic startup, so that the inverter will not run without outside intervention.
When USP is active and you need to reset an alarm and resume running, either turn the
Run command OFF, or perform a reset operation by the terminal [RS] input or the keypad Stop/reset key.
In the figure below, the [UPS] feature is enabled. When the inverter power turns ON, the motor does not start, even though the Run command is already active. Instead, it enters the USP trip state, and displays E13 error code. This requires outside intervention to reset the alarm by turning OFF the Run command per this example (or applying a reset).
Then the Run command can turn ON again and start the inverter output.

Using Intelligent Output Terminals
The intelligent output terminals are programmable in a similar way to the intelligent input terminals. The inverter has several output functions that you can assign individually to three physical logic outputs. Two of the outputs are open-collector transistors, and the third output is the alarm relay (form C – normally open and normally closed contacts). The relay is assigned the alarm function by default, but you can assign it to any of the functions that the open-collector outputs use.
Sinking Outputs,
Open Collector
The open-collector transistor outputs can handle up to
50mA each. We highly recommend that you use an external power source as shown. It must be capable of providing at least 100mA to drive both outputs at full load.
To drive loads that require more than 50mA, use external relay circuits as shown below.

Frequency Arrival Signals
The Frequency Arrival group of outputs help coordinate external systems with the current velocity profile of the inverter. As the name implies, output [FA1] turns ON when the output frequency arrives at the standard set frequency (parameter F_01).
Output [FA2] relies on programmable accel/ decel thresholds for increased flexibility.
For example, you can have an output turn ON at one frequency during acceleration, and have it turn OFF at a different frequency during deceleration. All transitions have hysteresis to avoid output chatter if the output frequency is near one of the thresholds.

[FA1] turns ON when the output frequency gets within 0.5 Hz below or
1.5 Hz above the target constant frequency. This provides hysteresis that prevents output chatter near the threshold
0 value.The hysteresis effect causes the output to turn ON slightly early as the speed approaches the threshold. Then the turn-OFF point is slightly delayed. The timing is further modified by a small
60 ms delay. Note the active low nature of the signal, due to the open collector output.
FA1 signal
Frequency arrival output [FA2] works the same way; it just uses two separate thresholds as shown in the figure to the right. These provide for separate acceleration and deceleration thresholds to provide more flexibility than for [FA1].
[FA2] uses C_42 during acceleration for the ON threshold, and C_43 during deceleration for the OFF threshold. This signal also is active low and has a 60 ms delay after the frequency thresholds are crossed. Having different accel and decel thresholds provides an asymmetrical output function. However, you can use equal ON and OFF thresholds, if desired.

Analog Input Operation
The L100 inverters provide for analog input to command the inverter frequency output value. The analog input terminal group includes the [L], [OI], [O], and [H] terminals on the control connector, which provide for
Voltage [O] or Current [OI] input. All analog input signals must use the analog ground [L].
If you use either the voltage or current analog input, you must select one of them using the logic input terminal function [AT] analog type. If terminal [AT] is OFF, the voltage input [O] can command the inverter output frequency. If terminal [AT] is ON, the current input [OI] can command the inverter output frequency. The [AT] terminal function is
covered in “Analog Input Current/Voltage
. Remember that you must also set A_01 = 01 to select analog input as the frequency source.

Analog and Digital Monitor Output
Analog and Digital Monitor Output
In the system design for inverter applications it is useful to monitor the inverter operation from a remote location. In some cases, this requires only a panel-mounted analog meter (moving-coil type). In other cases, a controller device such as a PLC may command the inverter frequency and other functions. Sometimes it is useful to have the inverter transmit the (real-time) output frequency value back to the controller to confirm actual operation. The monitor output function [FM] serves these purposes.
The inverter provides an analog/digital output primarily for frequency monitoring on terminal
H O OI L FM CM2 12 11
[FM] (frequency monitor). It uses terminal [L] as analog GND reference. You can configure
A GND
Analog/digital Output terminal [FM] to transmit the inverter current output or frequency output in pulse-width
modulated format (PWM). You can also configure terminal [FM] to output the frequency value in a frequency-modulated (FM) format.
The following table lists terminal [FM] configurations. Use function C_23 to configure.

PWM Signal Type
The pulse-width modulated signal at terminal
[FM] is primarily designed for driving a movingcoil meter. The PWM signal is automatically averaged by the inertia of the moving-coil mechanism—converting the PWM signal to an analog representation. Be sure to use a 10V full-scale DC voltmeter.

PWM scale factor
To calibrate the meter reading, generate a full-scale output (always ON) at terminal
[FM]. Then use parameter B_81(gain setting from 0 to 255) to adjust the corresponding full-scale reading of the meter. For example, when the inverter output frequency is
60 Hz, change the value of B_81 so that the meter reads 60 Hz.
L100 Inverter
4–31
TIP: When using the analog meter for monitoring, adjust the meter so it has a zero reading when the [FM] output is zero. Then use scale factor B_81 to adjust the [FM] output so the maximum frequency in the inverter corresponds to a full-scale reading on the meter.
The following accuracy notes apply for PWM monitor outputs:
• The monitor accuracy for frequency monitoring after adjustment is about
±5%.
Depending on the motor, the accuracy may exceed this value.
• The monitor display accuracy for current (normally
± 20%, depending on the connected motor’s characteristics) can be improved by adjusting parameter B_32.
• The accuracy of the current reading is given by the equation:
Imc Im
Ir
× 100 ≤ ± 20%
Im = Inverter output current (measured)
Imc = Monitor display current
Ir = Inverter rated current
• If precise current measurement is necessary, use the moving-coil type ammeter between the inverter and the motor.

FM Signal Type
The frequency-modulated output at terminal [FM] varies its frequency with the inverter output frequency (C_23=03). The multiplier is 10, such that the maximum [FM] signal frequency is 10 x 360 = 3.6 kHz, or 10 times the inverter’s maximum output frequency.
The signal at [FM] uses the parameter A_04 Maximum frequency setting. For example, if
A_04 = 60 Hz, then the maximum signal value at [FM] will be 10 x 60 = 600 Hz. This frequency is digitally controlled for accuracy, and does not use the B_81 gain setting when C_23=03 (frequency modulation selection).

PID Loop Operation
PID Loop Operation
In standard operation, the inverter uses a reference source selected by parameter A_01 for the output frequency, which may be a fixed value (F_01), a variable set by the front panel potentiometer, or value from an analog input (voltage or current). To enable PID operation, set A_71 = 01. This causes the inverter to calculate the target frequency, or setpoint.
A calculated target frequency can have a lot of advantages. It lets the inverter adjust the motor speed to optimize some other process of interest, potentially saving energy as well. Refer to the figure below. The motor acts upon the external process. To control that external process, the inverter must monitor the process variable. This requires wiring a sensor to either the analog input terminal [O] (voltage) or terminal [OI] (current).

When enabled, the PID loop calculates the ideal output frequency to minimize the loop error. This means we no longer command the inverter to run at a particular frequency, but we specify the ideal value for the process variable. That ideal value is called the
setpoint, and is specified in the units of the external process variable. For a pump application it may be gallons/minute, or it could be air velocity or temperature for an HVAC unit. Parameter A_75 is a scale factor that relates the external process variable units to motor frequency. The figure below is a more detailed diagram of the PID function.

Configuring the Inverter for Multiple Motors
Simultaneous Connections
For some applications, you may need to connect two or more motors (wired in parallel) to a single inverter’s output. For example, this is common in conveyor applications where two separate conveyors need to have approximately the same speed. The use of two motors may be less expensive than making the mechanical link for one motor to drive multiple conveyors.

Some of the characteristics of using multiple motors with one drive are:
• The inverter output must be rated to handle the sum of the currents from the motors.

• You must use separate thermal protection switches or devices to protect each motor. Locate the device for each motor inside the motor housing or as close to it as possible.
to Nth motor
• The wiring for the motors must be permanently connected in parallel (do not remove one motor from the circuit during operation).
NOTE: The motor speeds are identical only in theory. That is because slight differences in their loads will cause one motor to slip a little more than another, even if the motors are identical. Therefore, do not use this technique for multi-axis machinery that must maintain a fixed position reference between its axes.

Introduction
A motor control system will obviously include a motor and inverter, as well as fuses for safety. If you are connecting a motor to the inverter on a test bench just to get started, that’s all you may need for now. But a fully developed system can also have a variety of additional components. Some can be for noise suppression, while others may enhance the inverter’s braking performance. The figure below shows a system with several possible optional components, and the table gives part number information.

L100 Inverter
Component Descriptions
AC Reactors, Input Side
This is useful in suppressing harmonics induced on the power supply lines, or when the main power voltage imbalance exceeds 3% (and power source capacity is more than
500 kVA), or to smooth out line fluctuations. It also improves the power factor.
In the following cases for a general-purpose inverter, a large peak current flows on the main power supply side, and is able to destroy the inverter module:
• If the unbalanced factor of the power supply is 3% or higher
• If the power supply capacity is at least 10 times greater than the inverter capacity (the power supply capacity is 500 kVA or more)
• If abrupt power supply changes are expected
Examples of these situations include:
1. Several inverters are connected in parallel, sharing the same power bus
2. A thyristor converter and an inverter are connected in parallel, sharing the same power bus
3. An installed phase-advance (power factor correction) capacitor opens and closes
Where these conditions exist or when the connected equipment must be highly reliable, you MUST install an input-side AC reactor of 3% (at a voltage drop at rated current) with respect to the supply voltage on the power supply side. Also, where the effects of an indirect lightning strike are possible, install a lightning conductor.

AC Reactors, Output Side
This reactor reduces the vibrations in the motor caused by the inverter’s switching waveforms, by smoothing the waveforms to approximate commercial power quality. It is also useful to reduce the reflected voltage wave phenomenon when wiring from the inverter to the motor is more than 10m in length. Please refer to the documentation that comes with the AC reactor for installation instructions.

Component Descriptions
Zero-phase Reactor (RF Noise Filter)
The zero-phase reactor helps reduce radiated noise from the inverter wiring. It can be used on the input or output side of the inverter. The example zero-phase reactor shown to the right comes with a mounting bracket. The wiring must go through the opening to reduce the RF component of the electrical noise. Loop the wires three times (four turns) to attain the full RF filtering effect. For larger wire sizes, place multiple zero-phase reactors
(up to four) side-by-side for a greater filtering effect.
ZCL–xxx
EMI Filter
The EMI filter reduces the conducted noise on the power supply wiring generated by the inverter. Connect the EMI filter to the inverter primary (input side). The FFL100 series filter is required for compliance to the EMC Class A directive (Europe) and C-TICK
(Australia). See “CE–EMC Installation Guidelines” on page C–2 .
WARNING: The EMI filter has high internal leakage current from power wiring to the chassis. Therefore, connect the chassis ground of the EMI filter before making the power connections to avoid danger of shock or injury.
FFL100–xxx
RF Noise Filter (Capacitive)
This capacitive filter reduces radiated noise from the main power wires in the inverter input side. This filter is not for achieving CE compliance and is applicable to the input side only of the inverter. It comes in two versions—for 200V class inverters or 400V class inverters. Please refer to the documentation that comes with the radio noise filter for installation instructions.
DC Link Choke
The DC choke (reactor) suppresses harmonics generated by the inverter. It attenuates the high-frequency components on the inverter’s internal DC bus (link). However, note that it does not protect the diode rectifiers in the inverter input circuit.

L100 Inverter
Dynamic Braking
Introduction
The purpose of dynamic braking is to improve the ability of the inverter to stop (decelerate) the motor and load. This becomes necessary when an application has some or all of the following characteristics:
• High load inertia compared to the available motor torque
• The application requires frequent or sudden changes in speed
• System losses are not great enough to slow the motor as needed
When the inverter reduces its output frequency to decelerate the load, the motor can temporarily become a generator. This occurs when the motor rotation frequency is higher than the inverter output frequency. This condition can cause the inverter DC bus voltage to rise, resulting in an over-voltage trip. In many applications, the over-voltage condition serves as a warning signal that we have exceeded the deceleration capabilities of the system. The L100 inverter can connect to an external braking unit, which sends the regenerative energy from the motor during deceleration to the optional braking resistor(s). The dynamic braking resistor serves as a load, developing heat to stop the motor just as brakes on an automobile develop heat during braking.
A switching circuit and power resistor are the main components of the dynamic braking unit that includes a fuse and thermally activated alarm relay for safety. However, be careful to avoid overheating its resistor. The fuse and thermal relay are safeguards for extreme conditions, but the inverter can maintain braking usage in a safe zone.
Dynamic Braking Usage
Dynamic braking usage must follow guidelines to avoid overheating. The timing diagram to the right shows the output frequency versus time. Dynamic braking is in effect during the deceleration ramp, and has the following constraints:
Output freq.
• Dynamic braking maximum duty cycle
= 10%, where T b

• Dynamic braking maximum continuous ON time T b

Monitoring Trip Events, History, & Conditions
Fault Detection and Clearing
The microprocessor in the inverter detects a variety of fault conditions and captures the event, record-
STOP
RESET ing it in a history table. The inverter output turns
OFF, or “trips” similar to the way a circuit breaker trips due to an over-current condition. Most faults occur when the motor is running (refer to the diagram to the right). However, the inverter could

Fault have an internal fault and trip in Stop Mode. In either case, you can clear the fault by pressing the Stop/Reset key. Additionally, you can
clear the inverter’s cumulative trip history by performing the procedure “Restoring
Factory Default Settings” on page 6–8 (setting B_84=00 will clear the trip history but
leave inverter settings intact).
Error Codes
An error code will appear on the display automatically when a fault causes the inverter to trip. The following table lists the cause associated with the error.
Error
Code
Name Cause(s)
E 0 1
Over current event while at constant speed
E 0 2
Over current event during deceleration
E 0 3
Over current event during acceleration
E 0 4
Over current event during other conditions
E 0 5
Overload protection When a motor overload is detected by the electronic thermal function, the inverter trips and turns OFF its output.
E 0 7
Over voltage protection When the DC bus voltage exceeds a threshold, due to regenerative energy from the motor.
E 0 8
EEPROM error When the built-in EEPROM memory has problems due to noise or excessive temperature, the inverter trips and turns OFF its output to the motor.
E 0 9
Under-voltage error A decrease of internal DC bus voltage below a threshold results in a control circuit fault. This condition can also generate excessive motor heat or cause low torque. The inverter trips and turns OFF its output.
E 1 1
E 2 2
CPU error
The inverter output was short-circuited, or the motor shaft is locked or has a heavy load. These conditions cause excessive current for the inverter, so the inverter output is turned OFF.
The dual-voltage motor is wired incorrectly.
A malfunction in the built-in CPU has occurred, so the inverter trips and turns OFF its output to the motor.

Monitoring Trip Events, History, & Conditions
Error
Code
Name Cause(s)
E 1 2
External trip A signal on an intelligent input terminal configured as
EXT has occurred. The inverter trips and turns OFF the output to the motor.
E 1 3
USP When the Unattended Start Protection (USP) is enabled, an error occurred when power is applied while a Run signal is present. The inverter trips and does not go into Run Mode until the error is cleared.
E 1 4
Ground fault The inverter is protected by the detection of ground faults between the inverter output and the motor during powerup tests. This feature protects the inverter, and does not protect humans.
E 1 5
Input over-voltage When the input voltage is higher than the specified value, it is detected 100 seconds after powerup and the inverter trips and turns OFF its output.
E 2 1
Inverter thermal trip When the inverter internal temperature is above the threshold, the thermal sensor in the inverter module detects the excessive temperature of the power devices and trips, turning the inverter output OFF.
E 3 5
Thermistor When a thermistor is connected to terminals [5] and
[CM1] and the inverter has sensed the temperature is too high, the inverter trips and turns OFF the output.
- - - U
Under-voltage (brownout) with output shutoff
Due to low input voltage, the inverter turns its output
OFF and tries to restart. If it fails to restart, then the alarm trips to record the under-voltage error event.
NOTE: If an EEPROM error (E08) occurs, be sure to confirm the parameter data values are still correct. If the power is turned OFF while the [RS] (Reset) intelligent input terminal is ON, an EEPROM error will occur when power is restored.

L100 Inverter
Trip History and Inverter Status
We recommend that you first find the cause of the fault before clearing it. When a fault occurs, the inverter stores important performance data at the moment of the fault. To access the data, use the monitor functions (D_xx) and select D_08 for details about the present fault (E n
), or the error code for the past two trip events (E n-1
and E n-2
) using the
D_09 Trip History function.
The following Monitor Menu map shows how to access the error codes. When fault(s) exist, you can review their details by first selecting the proper function: D_08 displays current trip data, and D_09 displays trip history.

Megger Test
The megger is a piece of test equipment that uses a high voltage to determine if an insulation degradation has occurred. For inverters, it is important that the power terminals be isolated from the Earth GND terminal via the proper amount of insulation.
The circuit diagram below shows the inverter wiring for performing the megger test. Just follow the steps to perform the test:
1. Remove power from the inverter and wait at least 5 minutes before proceeding.
2. Open the front housing panel to access the power wiring.
3. Remove all wires to terminals [R, S, T, +1, +, –, U, V, and W]. Most importantly, the input power and motor wires will be disconnected from the inverter.
4. Use a bare wire and short terminals [R, S, T, +1, +, –, U, V, and W] together as shown in the diagram.
5. Connect the megger to the inverter Earth GND and to the shorted power terminals as shown. Then perform the megger test at 500 VDC and verify 5M
Ω or greater resistance.

Inverter Output Voltage Measurement Techniques
Taking voltage measurements around drives equipment requires the right equipment and a safe approach. You are working with high voltages and high-frequency switching waveforms that are not pure sinusoids. Digital voltmeters will not usually produce reliable readings for these waveforms. And, it is usually risky to connect high voltage signals to oscilloscopes. The inverter output semiconductors have some leakage, and no-load measurements produce misleading results. So, we highly recommend using the following circuits to measure voltage for performing the equipment inspections.

Glossary
Ambient Temperature
The air temperature in the chamber containing a powered electronic unit. A unit’s heat sinks rely on a lower ambient temperature in order to dissipate heat away from sensitive electronics.
Arrival Frequency
The arrival frequency refers to the set output frequency of the inverter for the constant speed setting. The arrival frequency feature turns on an output when the inverter reaches the set constant speed.
The inverter has various arrival frequencies and pulsed or latched logic options.
Auto-tuning
The ability of a controller to execute a procedure that interacts with a load to determine the proper coefficients to use in the control algorithm. Auto-tuning is a common feature of process controllers with PID loops. Hitachi inverters feature auto tuning to determine motor parameters for optimal commutation. Auto-tuning is available as a special command from a digital operator panel. See also
Digital Operator Panel.
Base Frequency
The power input frequency for which an AC induction motor is designed to operate. Most motors will specify a 50 to 60 Hz value.
The Hitachi inverters have a programmable base frequency, so you must ensure that parameter matches the attached motor. The term
base frequency helps differentiate it from the carrier frequency. See also Carrier Frequency and Frequency Setting.
Braking Resistor
An energy-absorbing resistor that dissipates energy from a decelerating load. Load inertia causes the motor to act as a generator during deceleration. See also Four-quadrant Operation and
Dynamic Braking.
Break-away Torque
The torque a motor must produce to overcome the static friction of a load, in order to start the load moving.
Carrier Frequency
The frequency of the constant, periodic, switching waveform that the inverter modulates to generate the AC output to the motor. See also PWM.
CE
A regulatory agency for governing the performance of electronic products in Europe. Drive installations designed to have CE approval must have particular filter(s) installed in the application.
Choke
An inductor that is tuned to react at radio frequencies is called a
“choke,” since it attenuates (chokes) frequencies above a particular threshold. Tuning is often accomplished by using a movable magnetic core. In variable-frequency drive systems, a choke positioned around high-current wiring can help attenuate harmful harmonics and protect equipment. See also Harmonics.
A–3
L100 Inverter
DC Braking
The inverter DC braking feature stops the AC commutation to the motor, and sends a DC current through the motor windings in order to stop the motor. Also called “DC injection braking,” it has little effect at high speed, and is used as the motor is nearing a stop.
Deadband
Digital Operator Panel
For Hitachi inverters, “digital operator panel” (DOP) refers first to the operator keypad on the front panel of the inverter. It also includes hand-held remote keypads, which connect to the inverter via a cable. Finally, the DOP Professional is a PC-based software simulation of the keypad devices.
Diode
In a control system, the range of input change for which there is no perceptible change in the output. In PID loops, the error term may have a dead band associated with it. Deadband may or may not be desirable; it depends on the needs of the application.
A semiconductor device that has a voltage-current characteristic that allows current to flow only in one direction, with negligible leakage current in the reverse direction. See also Rectifier.
Duty Cycle
1. The percent of time a square wave of fixed frequency is ON
(high) versus OFF (low). 2. The ratio of operating time of a motor, braking resistor, etc. to its resting time. This parameter usually is specified in association with the allowable thermal rise for the device.
Dynamic Braking
The inverter dynamic braking feature shunts the motor-generated
EMF energy into a special braking resistor. The added dissipation
(braking torque) is effective at higher speeds, having a reduced effect as the motor nears a stop.
Error
In process control, the error is the difference between the desired value or setpoint (SP) and the actual value of a the process variable
(PV). See also Process Variable and PID Loop.
EMI
Electromagnetic Interference - In motor/drive systems, the switching of high currents and voltages creates the possibility of generating radiated electrical noise that may interfere with the operation of nearby sensitive electrical instruments or devices. Certain aspects of an installation, such as long motor lead wire lengths, tend to increase the chance of EMI. Hitachi provides accessory filter components you can install to decrease the level of EMI.
Four-quadrant operation
Referring to a graph of torque versus direction, a four-quadrant drive can turn the motor either forward or reverse, as well as decelerate in either direction (see also reverse torque). A load that has a relatively high inertia and must move in both directions and change directions rapidly requires four-quadrant capability from its drive.
Free-run Stop
A method of stopping a motor, caused when the inverter simply turns OFF its motor output connections. This may allow the motor and load to coast to a stop, or a mechanical brake may intervene and shorten the deceleration time.
A–4
Glossary
Frequency Setting
While frequency has a broad meaning in electronics, it typically refers to motor speed for variable-frequency drives (inverters). This is because the output frequency of the inverter is variable, and is proportional to the attained motor speed. For example, a motor with a base frequency of 60 Hz can be speed controlled with an inverter output varying form 0 to 60 Hz. See also Base Frequency, Carrier
Frequency, and Slip.
Harmonics
A harmonic is a whole number multiple of a base of fundamental frequency. The square waves used in inverters produce highfrequency harmonics, even though the main goal is to produce lower-frequency sine waves. These harmonics can be harmful to electronics (including motor windings) and cause radiated energy that interferes with nearby electronic devices. Chokes, line reactors, and filters are sometimes used to suppress the transmission of harmonics in an electrical system. See also Choke.
Horsepower
A unit of physical measure to quantify the amount of work done per unit of time. You can directly convert between horsepower and
Watts as measurements of power.
IGBT
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) – A semiconductor transistor capable of conducting very large currents when in saturation and capable of withstanding very high voltages when it is OFF.
This high-power bipolar transistor is the type used in Hitachi inverters.
Inertia
The natural resistance a stationary object to being moved by an external force. See also Momentum.
Intelligent Terminal
A configurable input or output logic function on the Hitachi inverters. Each terminal may be assigned one of several functions.
Inverter
A device that electronically changes DC to AC current through an alternating process of switching the input to the output, inverted and non-inverted. A variable speed drive such as the Hitachi L100 is also called an inverter, since it contains three inverter circuits to generate 3-phase output to the motor.
Isolation Transformer
A transformer with 1:1 voltage ratio that provides electrical isolation between its primary and secondary windings. These are typically used on the power input side of the device to be protected.
An isolation transformer can protect equipment from a ground fault or other malfunction of nearby equipment, as well as attenuate harmful harmonics and transients on the input power.
Jogging Operation
Usually done manually, a jog command from an operator’s panel requests the motor/drive system to run indefinitely in a particular direction, until the machine operator ends the jog operation.
A–5
L100 Inverter
Jump Frequency
A jump frequency is a point on the inverter output frequency range that you want the inverter to skip around. This feature may be used to avoid a resonant frequency, and you can program up to three jump frequencies in the inverter.
Line Reactor
A three-phase inductor generally installed in the AC input circuit of an inverter to minimize harmonics and to limit short-circuit current.
Momentum
The physical property of a body in motion that causes it to remain in motion. In the case of motors, the rotor and attached load are rotating and possesses angular momentum.
Multi-speed Operation
The ability of a motor drive to store preset discrete speed levels for the motor, and control motor speed according to the currently selected speed preset. The Hitachi inverters have 16 preset speeds.
Motor Load
NEC
NEMA
Open-collector Outputs
A common logic-type discrete output that uses an NPN transistor that acts as a switch to a power supply common, usually ground.
The transistor’s collector is open for external connection (not connected internally). Thus, the output sinks external load current to ground.
Power Factor
The National Electric Manufacturer’s Association. NEMA Codes are a published series of device ratings standards. Industry uses these to evaluate or compare the performance of devices made by various manufacturers to a known standard.
A ratio that expresses a phase difference (timing offset) between current and voltage supplied by a power source to a load. A perfect power factor = 1.0 (no phase offset). Power factors less than one cause some energy loss in power transmission wiring (source to load).
PID Loop
The National Electric Code is a regulatory document that governs electrical power and device wiring and installation in the United
States.
Proportional - Integral-Derivative - A mathematical model used for process control. A process controller maintains a process variable
(PV) at a setpoint (SP) by using its PID algorithm to compensate for dynamic conditions and vary its output to drive the PV toward the desired value. For variable-frequency drives, the process variable is the motor speed. See also Error.
Process Variable
In motor terminology, motor load consists of the inertia of the physical mass that is moved by the motor and the related friction from guiding mechanisms. See also Inertia.
A physical property of a process that is of interest because it affects the quality of the primary task accomplished by the process. For an industrial oven, temperature is the process variable. See also PID
Loop and Error.

Glossary
PWM
Reactance
Rectifier
An electronic device made of one or more diodes that converts AC power into DC power. Rectifiers are usually used in combination with capacitors to filter (smooth) the rectified waveform to closely approximate a pure DC voltage source.
Regenerative Braking
A particular method of generating reverse torque to a motor, an inverter will switch internally to allow the motor to become a generator and will either store the energy internally, deliver the braking energy back to the main power input, or dissipate it with a resistor.
Regulation
The impedance of inductors and capacitors has two components.
The resistive part is constant, while the reactive part changes with applied frequency. These devices have a complex impedance
(complex number), where the resistance is the real part and the reactance is the imaginary part.
The quality of control applied to maintain a parameter of interest at a desired value. Usually expressed as a percent (±) from the nominal, motor regulation usually refers to its shaft speed.
Reverse Torque
Pulse-width modulation: A type of AC adjustable frequency drive that accomplishes frequency and voltage control at the output section (inverter) of the drive. The drive output voltage waveform is at a constant amplitude, and by “chopping” the waveform (pulsewidth-modulating), the average voltage is controlled. The chopping frequency is sometimes called the Carrier Frequency.
The torque applied in the direction opposite to motor shaft rotation.
As such, reverse torque is a decelerating force on the motor and its external load.
Rotor
The windings of a motor that rotate, being physically coupled to the motor shaft. See also Stator.
Saturation Voltage
For a transistor semiconductor device, it is in saturation when an increase in input current no longer results in an increase in the output current. The saturation voltage is the voltage drop across the device. The ideal saturation voltage is zero.
Sensorless Vector
Control
A technique used in variable-frequency drives to rotate the force vector in the motor without the use of a shaft position sensor
(angular). Benefits include an increase in torque at the lowest speed and the cost savings from the lack of a shaft position sensor.
Setpoint (SP)
The setpoint is the desired value of a process variable of interest.
See also Process Variable (PV) and PID Loop.

L100 Inverter
Single-phase power
An AC power source consisting of Hot and Neutral wires. An Earth
Ground connection usually accompanies them. In theory, the voltage potential on Neutral stays at or near Earth Ground, while
Hot varies sinusoidally above and below Neutral. This power source is named Single Phase to differentiate it from three-phase power sources. Some Hitachi inverters can accept single phase input power, but they all output three-phase power to the motor. See also
Three-phase.
Slip
The difference between the theoretical speed of a motor at no load
(determined by its inverter output waveforms) and the actual speed.
Some slip is essential in order to develop torque to the load, but too much will cause excessive heat in the motor windings and/or cause the motor to stall.
Squirrel Cage
A “nick-name” for the appearance of the rotor frame assembly for an AC induction motor.
Stator
The windings in a motor that are stationary and coupled to the power input of the motor. See also Rotor.
Tachometer
1. A signal generator usually attached to the motor shaft for the purpose of providing feedback to the speed controlling device of the motor. 2. A speed-monitoring test meter that may optically sense shaft rotation speed and display it on a readout.
Thermal Switch
An electromechanical safety device that opens to stop current flow when the temperature at the device reaches a specific temperature threshold. Thermal switches are sometimes installed in the motor in order to protect the windings from heat damage. The inverter can use thermal switch signals to trip (shut down) if the motor overheats. See also Trip.
Thermistor
A type of temperature sensor that changes its resistance according to its temperature. The sensing range of thermistors and their ruggedness make them ideal for motor overheating detection.
Hitachi inverters have built-in thermistor input circuits, which can detect an overheated motor and shut off (trip) the inverter output.
Three-phase power
An AC power source with three Hot connections that have phase offsets of 120 degrees is a 3-phase power source. Usually, Neutral and Earth Ground wires accompany the three Hot connections.
Loads may be configured in a delta or Y configuration. A Yconnected load such as an AC induction motor will be a balanced load; the currents in all the Hot connections are the same. Therefore, the Neutral connection is theoretically zero. This is why inverters that generate 3-phase power for motors do not generally have a Neutral connection to the motor. However, the Earth Ground connection is important for safety reasons, and is provided.

Trip
Watt Loss
The rotational force exerted by a motor shaft. The units of measurement consist of the distance (radius from shaft center axis) and force (weight) applied at that distance. Units are usually given as pound-feet, ounce-inches, or Newton-meters.
A solid state, three-terminal device that provides amplification of signals and can be used for switching and control. While transistors have a linear operating range, inverters use them as high-powered switches. Recent developments in power semiconductors have produced transistors capable of handling high voltages and currents, all with high reliability. The saturation voltage has been decreasing, resulting in less heat dissipation. Hitachi inverters use state-of-theart semiconductors to provide high performance and reliability in a compact package. See also IGBT and Saturation Voltage.
An event that causes the inverter to stop operation is called a “trip” event (as in tripping a circuit breaker). The inverter keeps a history log of trip events. They also require an action to clear.
A measure of the internal power loss of a component, the difference between the power it consumes and what its output delivers. An inverter’s watt loss is the input power minus the power delivered to the motor. The watt loss is typically highest when an inverter is delivering its maximum output. Therefore, watt loss is usually specified for a particular output level. Inverter watt loss specifications are important when designing enclosures.

Introduction
This appendix lists the user-programmable parameters for the L100 series inverters and the default values for European and U.S. product types. The right-most column of the tables is blank, so you can record values you have changed from the default. This involves just a few parameters for most applications. This appendix presents the parameters in a format oriented toward the keypad on the inverter.
Parameter Settings for Keypad Entry
L100 series inverters provide many functions and parameters that can be configured by the user. We recommend that you record all parameters that have been edited, in order to help in troubleshooting or recovery from a loss of parameter data.

CE–EMC Installation Guidelines
CE–EMC Installation Guidelines
You are required to satisfy the EMC directive (89/336/EEC) when using an L100 inverter in an EU country. To satisfy the EMC directive and to comply with standard, follow the guidelines in this section.
1. As user you must ensure that the HF (high frequency) impedance between adjustable frequency inverter, filter, and ground is as small as possible.
• Ensure that the connections are metallic and have the largest possible contact areas (zinc-plated mounting plates).
2. Avoid conductor loops that act like antennas, especially loops that encompass large areas.
• Avoid unnecessary conductor loops.
• Avoid parallel arrangement of low-level signal wiring and power-carrying or noise-prone conductors.
3. Use shielded wiring for the motor cable and all analog and digital control lines.
• Allow the effective shield area of these lines to remain as large as possible; i.e., do not strip away the shield (screen) further away from the cable end than absolutely necessary.
• With integrated systems (for example, when the adjustable frequency inverter is communicating with some type of supervisory controller or host computer in the same control cabinet and they are connected at the same ground + PE-potential), connect the shields of the control lines to ground + PE (protective earth) at both ends. With distributed systems (for example the communicating supervisory controller or host computer is not in the same control cabinet and there is a distance between the systems), we recommend connecting the shield of the control lines only at the end connecting to the adjustable frequency inverter. If possible, route the other end of the control lines directly to the cable entry section of the supervisory controller or host computer. The shield conductor of the motor cables always must connected to ground + PE at both ends.
• To achieve a large area contact between shield and ground + PE-potential, use a
PG screw with a metallic shell, or use a metallic mounting clip.
• Use only cable with braided, tinned copper mesh shield (type “CY”) with 85% coverage.
• The shielding continuity should not be broken at any point in the cable. If the use of reactors, contactors, terminals, or safety switches in the motor output is necessary, the unshielded section should be kept as short as possible.
• Some motors have a rubber gasket between terminal box and motor housing. Very often, the terminal boxes, and particularly the threads for the metal PG screw connections, are painted. Make sure there is always a good metallic connection between the shielding of the motor cable, the metal PG screw connection, the terminal box, and the motor housing. If necessary, carefully remove paint between conducting surfaces.
C–3
L100 Inverter
4. Take measures to minimize interference that is frequently coupled in through installation cables.
• Separate interfering cables with 0.25m minimum from cables susceptible to interference. A particularly critical point is laying parallel cables over longer distances. If two cables intersect (one crosses over the other), the interference is smallest if they intersect at an angle of 90°. Cables susceptible to interference should therefore only intersect motor cables, intermediate circuit cables, or the wiring of a rheostat at right angles and never be laid parallel to them over longer distances.
5. Minimize the distance between an interference source and an interference sink (interference-threatened device), thereby decreasing the effect of the emitted interference on the interference sink.
• You should use only interference-free devices and maintain a minimum distance of 0.25 m from the adjustable frequency inverter.
6. Follow safety measures in the filter installation.
• Ensure that the ground terminal (PE) of the filter is properly connected to the ground terminal of the adjustable frequency inverter. An HF ground connection via metal contact between the housings of the filter and the adjustable frequency inverter, or solely via cable shield, is not permitted as a protective conductor connection. The filter must be solidly and permanently connected with the ground potential so as to preclude the danger of electric shock upon touching the filter if a fault occurs.
To achieve a protective ground connection for the filter:
• Ground the filter with a conductor of at least 10 mm
2
cross-sectional area.
• Connect a second grounding conductor, using a separate grounding terminal parallel to the protective conductor. (The cross section of each single protective conductor terminal must be sized for the required nominal load.)

Hitachi EMC Recommendations
WARNING: This equipment should be installed, adjusted, and serviced by qualified personal familiar with construction and operation of the equipment and the hazards involved. Failure to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
Use the following checklist to ensure the inverter is within proper operating ranges and conditions.
1. The power supply to L100 inverters must meet these specifications:
• Voltage fluctuation ±10% or less
• Voltage imbalance ±3% or less
• Frequency variation ±4% or less
• Voltage distortion THD = 10% or less
2. Installation measure:
• Use a filter designed for L100 inverter.
3. Wiring:
• Shielded wire (screened cable) is required for motor wiring, and the length must be less than 50 meters.
• The carrier frequency setting must be less than 5 kHz to satisfy EMC requirements.
• Separate the power input and motor wiring from the signal/process circuit wiring.
4. Environmental conditions—when using a filter, follow these guidelines:
• Ambient temperature: –10 to 40 °C
• Humidity: 20 to 90% RH (non-condensing)
• Vibration: 5.9 m/sec 2 (0.6 G) 10 ~ 55Hz
• Location: 1000 meters or less altitude, indoors (no corrosive gas or dust)
