2) Grounding capacitor switch

Single-phase 240 V models have a built-in high-attenuation noise filter and are grounded via a capacitor.
A switch makes for easy switching to reduce leakage current from the inverter and the load on the
capacitor. However, be careful, as reducing the load means non-conformity with the EMC standard on
the inverter itself. Always do switching with the power off.

Pressing this switches the grounding capacitor's capacity from small

to large. (Default setting)

Pulling this switches the grounding capacitor's capacity from large to

small. This reduces the leakage current.
When this inverter is connected to the IT system (insulated ground
of power supply or the system has Impedance), the switch has to be
pulled as the figure shows.

1.4 Notes on the application

1.4.1 Motors
When the VF-nC3 and the motor are used in conjunction, pay attention to the following items.

Caution
1 Use an inverter that conforms to the specifications of power supply and three-phase induction motor
being operated. If the inverter being used does not conform to those specifications, not only will the
three-phase induction motor not rotate correctly, but it may cause serious accidents through overheating
Mandatory and fire.
action

Comparisons with commercial power operation

The VF-nC3 Inverter employs the sinusoidal PWM system. However, the output voltage and output
current are not perfect sine waves, they have a distorted wave that is close to sinusoidal waveform.
This is why compared to operation with a commercial power there will be a slight increase in motor
temperature, noise and vibration.

Operation in the low-speed area

When running continuously at low speed in conjunction with a general purpose motor, there may be a
decline in that motor's cooling effect. If this happens, operate with the output decreased from rated load.
To carry out low-speed operation continuously at the rated torque, we recommend to use a inverter
rated motor or a forced cooled motor designed for use with an inverter. When operating in conjunction
with a inverter rated motor, you must change the inverter's motor overload protection level  to VF
motor use.

Adjusting the overload protection level

The VF-nC3 Inverter protects against overloads with its overload detection circuits (electronic thermal).
The electronic thermal's reference current is set to the inverter's rated current, so it must be adjusted in
line with the rated current of the motor being used in combination.

High speed operation over 60Hz

Operating at frequencies over 60Hz will increase noise and vibration. There is also a possibility this will
exceed the motor's mechanical strength limits and the bearing limits so you should inquire to the
motor's manufacturer about such operation.

Method of lubricating load mechanisms

Operating an oil-lubricated reduction gear and gear motor in the low-speed areas will worsen the
lubricating effect. Check with the manufacturer of the reduction gear to find out about operable gearing
area.

A-12
 E6581597
E6581595

Low loads and low inertia loads

The motor may demonstrate instability such as abnormal vibrations or overcurrent trips at light loads of
5% or under of the load percentage, or when the load's inertia moment is extremely small. If that
happens reduce the carrier frequency.

Occurrence of instability
Unstable phenomena may occur with the load and motor combinations shown below.
 Combined with a motor that exceeds applicable motor ratings for the inverter
 Combine with a much smaller motor according to the applicable motor rating of the inverter.
1
 Combined with special motors
To deal with the above lower the settings of inverter carrier frequency.
 Combined with couplings between load devices and motors with high backlash
When using the inverter in the above combination, use the S-pattern acceleration/deceleration function,
or when vector control is selected, adjust the speed control response or switch to V/f control mode.
 Combined with loads that have sharp fluctuations in rotation such as piston movements
In this case, adjust the response time (inertial moment setting) during vector control or switch to V/f
control.

Braking a motor when cutting off power supply

A motor with its power cut off goes into free-run, and does not stop immediately. To stop the motor
quickly as soon as the power is cut off install an auxiliary brake. There are different kinds of brake
devices, both electrical and mechanical. Select the brake that is best for the system.

Load that produces regenerative torque

When combined with a load that produces regenerative torque, the overvoltage or overcurrent
protection function may be activated to trip the inverter.

A-13
 E6581597
E6581595

Motors with a brake

When motors with a brake are directly connected to the inverter's output, the brake cannot be released
at startup because of low voltage. Wire the brake circuit separately from the main circuit.

Circuit diagram 1 Circuit diagram 2

In circuit diagram 1, the brake is turned on and off through MC2 and MC3. If you do not wire it as shown
in diagram 1, an over-current trip may occur because of a bound current during brake operation.
(Example of running preparation ST assigned to terminal S2.)
In circuit diagram 2, the brake is turned on and off by using low-speed signal OUT. (Refer to section
6.1.1)
In some situations, such as with elevators, turning the brake on and off with a low-speed signal may be
appropriate. Be sure to contact us before designing your system.

1.4.2 Inverters
Protecting inverters from overcurrent
The inverter has an overcurrent protection function. The programmed current level is set to the
inverter's maximum applicable motor. If the motor used has a small capacity, the overcurrent level and
the electronic thermal protection must be readjusted. If adjustment is necessary, refer to section 3.5,
and make adjustments as directed.

Inverter capacity
Do not use a small-capacity (kVA) inverter to control the operation of a large-capacity motor (two-class
or more larger motor), no matter how light the load is. Current ripple will raise the output peak current
making it easier to set off the overcurrent trip.

A-14
 E6581597
E6581595

Power factor correction capacitor

Power factor correction capacitors cannot be installed on the output side of the inverter. When a motor
is run that has a power factor correction capacitor attached to it, remove the capacitors. This can cause
inverter malfunction and capacitor destruction.

Operating at other than rated voltage

Connections to voltages other than the rated voltage described in the rating label cannot be made. If a
connection must be made to a power supply other than one with rated voltage, use a transformer to
raise or lower the voltage to the rated voltage.

Breaking of selected inverter

There is no fuse in the inverter's main circuit. Thus, as the diagram above shows, when more than one
inverter is used on the same power line, you must select interrupting characteristics so that only
MCCB2 to MCCBn+1 will trip and the MCCB1 will not trip when a short occurs in the inverter (INV1).
When you cannot select the proper characteristics install a circuit interrupting fuse behind MCCB2 to
MCCBn+1.

If power supply distortion is not negligible

If the power supply distortion is not negligible because the inverter shares a power distribution line with
other systems causing distorted waves, such as systems with thyristors or large-capacity inverters,
install an input reactor to improve the input power factor, to reduce higher harmonics, or to suppress
external surges.

 Disposal
Refer to chapter 16.

1.4.3 What to do about the leakage current

Caution
1 Current may leak through the inverter's input/output wires because of insufficient electrostatic capacity on
the motor with bad effects on peripheral equipment.
The leakage current’s value is affected by the carrier frequency and the length of the input/output wires.
Mandatory
Test and adopt the following remedies against leak current.
action

(1) Leakage current from the inverter main unit

Some of these inverters are equipped with a ground capacitor compliant with the EMC directive which
gives them a comparatively higher value than a normal inverter. Take this into consideration when
selecting a leakage breaker.
Refer to "Leakage current" (E6581181) in the separate user manual for details.

(2) Influence of leakage current across ground

Leakage current may flow not just through the inverter system but also through ground wires to other
systems. Leakage current will cause earth leakage breakers, leakage current relays, ground relays, fire
alarms and sensors to operate improperly, and it will cause superimposed noise on the TV screen or
display of incorrect current detection with the CT.

A
Leakage current path across wires

(1) Thermal relays

The high frequency component of current leaking into electrostatic capacity between inverter out-
put wires will increase the effective current values and make externally connected thermal relays
operate improperly. If the wires are more than 50 meters long, it will be easy for the external
thermal relay to operate improperly with models having motors of low rated current (several
A(ampere) or less), because the leakage current will increase in proportion to the motor rating.

Remedies:
1. Use the electronic thermal built into the inverter. (Refer to section 3.5)
The setting of the electronic thermal is done using parameter , .
2. Reduce : PWM carrier frequency. However the motor magnetic noise is increased. (Refer to
section 6.11)
3. This can be improved by installing 0.1μ~0.5μF - 1000V film capacitor to the input/output terminals of
each phase in the thermal relay.

A-17
 E6581597
E6581595

(2) CT and ammeter

If a CT and ammeter are connected externally to detect inverter output current, the leak current's high
frequency component may destroy the ammeter. If the wires are ling ( 50 meters or more), or in case of
models with motors of low rated current (several A (ampere) or less), the high frequency component of
leakage current may pass through the externally connected CT and it may burn the ammeter connected
CT, because the ratio of leakage current against the motor's rated current will increase.

1 Remedies:
1. Use a meter output terminal in the inverter control circuit.
The load current can be output on the meter output terminal (FM). If the meter is connected, use an
ammeter of 1mAdc full scale or a voltmeter of 10Vdc full scale.
0-20mAdc (4-20mAdc) can be also output. (Refer to section 3.4)
2. Set : PWM carrier frequency=4 kHz or less. However the motor magnetic noise is increased.
(Refer to section 6.11)
3. Use the monitor functions built into the inverter.
Use the monitor functions on the panel built into the inverter to check current values. (Refer to
section 8.2.1)

(4) Influence and remedy of the leakage current by long-distance wiring

Caution
As a remedy, when using an AC reactor (PFL series) for the output side of an inverter, Set : PWM
carrier frequency=2 kHz or less.
Mandatory This can also cause serious accidents through overheating and fire.
action

Make the wiring length between an inverter and a motor 100 m or less, and shorten as much as
possible.
When connecting two or more sets of motors, the wiring length is the total wiring length.
Over-current trip may be occurred according to the charging current which will flow into the electrostatic
capacity between cables if wiring length becomes long.
In that case, please cope with installing an AC reactor (PFL series) in the output side of an inverter, or
reduces the electrostatic capacity of a cable etc. by wiring by loose wires, etc.

 Panel designing taking into consideration the effects of noise

The inverter generates high frequency noise. When designing the control panel setup, consideration must be
given to that noise. Examples of measures are given below.
 Wire so that the main circuit wires and the control circuit wires are separated. Do not place them in the
same conduit, do not run them parallel, and do not bundle them.
 Provide shielding and twisted wire for control circuit wiring.
 Separate the input (power) and output (motor) wires of the main circuit. Do not place them in the same
conduit, do not run them parallel, and do not bundle them.
 Ground the inverter grounding terminals ( ).
1
 Install surge suppressor on any magnetic contactor and relay coils used around the inverter.
 Install noise filters if necessary.
 To comply with the EMC directives, install the optional EMC plate and fix the shield to it.
 Install EMC plate and use shielded wires.

 Installing more than one unit in a cabinet

If you are installing two or more inverters in one cabinet, pay attention to the following.

 Inverters may be installed side by side with each other with no space left between them.
 When installing inverters side by side, detach the caution label on the top surface of each inverter and
use them where the ambient temperature will not rise above 40°C.
 When using inverters where the ambient temperature will rise above 40°C, leave a space of 3 cm or
1 more between them and remove the caution label from the top of each inverter, or operate each inverter
at a current lower than the rated one.
 Ensure a space of at least 20 centimeters on the top and bottom of the inverters.
 Install an air deflecting plate so that the heat rising up from the inverter on the bottom does not affect the
inverter on the top.

2. Connection

Warning
 Never disassemble, modify or repair.
This can result in electric shock, fire and injury. Call your Toshiba distributor for repairs.
Disassembly
prohibited
 Don't stick your fingers into openings such as cable wiring hole and cooling fan covers.
This can result in electric shock or other injury. 2
 Don't place or insert any kind of object into the inverter (electrical wire cuttings, rods, wires). This can
result in electric shock or fire.
Prohibited
 Do not allow water or any other fluid to come in contact with the inverter.
That may result in electric shock or fire.

Caution
 When transporting or carrying, do not hold by the front panel covers.
The covers may come off and the unit will drop out resulting in injury.
Prohibited

2.1 Cautions on wiring

Warning
 Never remove the terminal cover when power is on or open door if enclosed in a cabinet.
The unit contains many high voltage parts and contact with them will result in electric shock.

Prohibited
 Turn power on only after attaching the front cover or closing door if enclosed in a cabinet.
If power is turned on without the terminal cover attached or closing door if enclosed in a cabinet. This
can result in electric shock or other injury.
 Electrical construction work must be done by a qualified expert.
Connection of input power by someone who does not have that expert knowledge may result in fire or
electric shock.
 Connect output terminals (motor side) correctly.
If the phase sequence is incorrect, the motor will operate in reverse and that may result in injury.
 Wiring must be done after installation.
Mandatory If wiring is done prior to installation that may result in injury or electric shock.
action  The following steps must be performed before wiring.
(1) Shut off all input power.
(2) Wait at least 15 minutes and check to make sure that the charge lamp is no longer lit.
(3) Use a tester that can measure DC voltage (400VDC or more), and check to make sure that the
voltage to the DC main circuits (across PA-PC) is 45V or less.
If these steps are not properly performed, the wiring will cause electric shock.
 Tighten the screws on the terminal board to specified torque.
If the screws are not tightened to the specified torque, it may lead to fire.

B-1
 E6581597
E6581595

Warning
 Ground must be connected securely.
If the ground is not securely connected, it could lead to electric shock or fire when a malfunction or
current leak occurs.
Be Grounded

Caution
 Do not attach devices with built-in capacitors (such as noise filters or surge absorber) to the output
(motor side) terminal.
2 Prohibited
This could cause a fire.

 Preventing radio noise

To prevent electrical interference such as radio noise, separately bundle wires to the main circuit's power
terminals (3-phase models: R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, single-phase models: R/L1, S/L2/N) and wires to the motor
terminals (U/T1, V/T2, W/T3).

 Control and main power supply

The control power supply and the main circuit power supply for the VFnC3 are the same.
If a malfunction or trip causes the main circuit to be shut off, control power will also be shut off. When
checking the cause of the malfunction or the trip, use the trip holding retention selection parameter.

 Wiring
 Cover the crimp-style terminal with insulated tube, or use the crimp-style terminal with insulation sleeve
when crimp-style terminals are used for the main circuit terminals.
Connect the terminals so that adjacent terminals do not touch each other.
 For ground terminal use wires of the size that is equivalent to or larger than those given in table 10.1
and always ground the inverter (240V voltage class: D type ground).
Use as large and short a ground wire as possible and wire it as close as possible to the inverter.
 For the sizes of electric wires used in the main circuit, refer to the table in section 10.1.
 The length of the main circuit wire in table 10.1 should be no longer than 30 meters. If the wire is longer
than 30 meters, the wire size (diameter) must be increased.

2.2 Standard connections

Warning
 Do not connect input power to the output (motor side) terminals (U/T1, V/T2, W/T3).
Connecting input power to the output could destroy the inverter or cause a fire.
 Do not insert a resistor between DC terminals (between PA/+ and PC/-, or between PO and PC/-).
It could cause a fire.
See 6.13.4 for the connection of a resistor.
Prohibited  First shut off input power and wait at least 15 minutes before touching wires on equipment (MCCB) that
is connected to inverter power side.
2
Touching the wires before that time could result in electric shock.
 Do not shut down the external power supply on ahead when VIA terminal is used as logic input
terminal by external power supply (f127=200).
It could cause unexpected result as VIA terminal is ON status.
 Set a parameter f109 when VI terminal is used as logic input terminal.
If it is not set, it could result in malfunction.

Mandatory
action
 Ground must be connected securely.
If the ground is not securely connected, it could lead to electric shock or fire when a malfunction or
current leak occurs.

 Connection of SINK (Negative) logic/SOURCE (Positive) logic

Current flowing out turns control input terminals on. These are called sink logic terminals.
The general used method in Europe is source logic in which current flowing into the input terminal turns it
on.
Sink logic is sometimes referred to as negative logic, and source logic is referred to as positive logic.
Each logic is supplied with electricity from either the inverter's internal power supply or an external power
supply, and its connections vary depending on the power supply used.
Setting of sink/source logic varies depending on the setup menu setting. (Refer to section 11.5)
Sink/source logic can be switched by parameter .

 Selecting the functions of the VI terminal between analog input and logic input
The functions of the VI terminal can be selected between analog input and logic input by changing
parameter settings (). (Factory default setting: Analog input 0-10V)
Be sure to connect a resistor between P24 and VI terminals in case of sink logic, between VI and CC
terminals in case of source logic. (Recommended resistance: 4.7k-1/2W)
When using VI terminal as a logic input terminal, set the parameter = and connect as following
schematics.
If no resistor is inserted, logic input will be left always ON, which is very dangerous.

3. Operations
Caution
 Do not touch inverter terminals when electrical power is going to the inverter even if the motor is
stopped.
Touching the inverter terminals while power is connected to it may result in electric shock.
 Do not touch switches when the hands are wet and do not try to clean the inverter with a damp cloth.
Such practices may result in electric shock.
Prohibited  Do not go near the motor in alarm-stop status when the retry function is selected.
The motor may suddenly restart and that could result in injury.
Take measures for safety, e.g. attaching a cover to the motor, against accidents when the motor
unexpectedly restarts.
 If the inverter begins to emit smoke or an unusual odor, or unusual sounds, immediately turn power off.
If the equipment is continued in operation in such a state, the result may be fire. Contact your Toshiba
3
distributor for repairs.
 Always turn power off if the inverter is not used for long periods of time.
 Turn the input power on only after attaching the terminal block cover.
When enclosed inside a cabinet and used with the terminal block cover removed, always close the
cabinet doors first and then turn the power on. If the power is turned on with the terminal block cover or
the cabinet doors open, this may result in electric shock.
Mandatory  Make sure that operation signals are off before resetting the inverter after malfunction.

 Adjusting the meter in inverter stop state

 Adjustment of output current (=1)
If, when adjusting the meter for output current, there are large fluctuations in data during adjustment,
making adjustment difficult, the meter can be adjusted in inverter stop state.
When setting  to  for fixed output 1 (output current 100% equivalent), a signal of absolute
values will be output (inverter's rated current = 100%). In this state, adjust the meter with the  (Meter
adjustment) parameter.
Similarly, if you set  to  for fixed output 2 (output current 50% equivalent), a signal that is sent
out when half the inverter's rated current is flowing will be output through the FM terminal.
After meter adjustment is ended, set  to  (output current).

 Other adjustments ( = ,  - , , , )

 = : When fixed output 3 (other than the output current) is set, a signal of the the value for
other monitors is fixed at the following values and output through the FM terminal.

1) Setting the electronic thermal protection characteristics selection  and

motor electronic thermal protection level 1 , 2 
The electronic thermal protection characteristics selection  is used to enable or disable the motor
overload trip function () and the overload stall function.
While the inverter overload trip () will be in constant detect operation, the motor overload trip ()
can be selected using the parameter 

Explanation of terms
Overload stall: This is an optimum function for equipment such as fans, pumps and blowers with
variable torque characteristics that the load current decreases as the operating speed
decreases.

3
When the inverter detects an overload, this function automatically lowers the output
frequency before the motor overload trip  is activated. With this function,
operation can be continued, without tripping, by operating using a frequency balanced
by load current.
Note: Do not use the overload stall function with loads having constant torque characteristics (such as
conveyor belts in which load current is fixed with no relation to speed).

[Using standard motors (other than motors intended for use with inverters)]
When a motor is used in the lower frequency range than the rated frequency, that will decrease the cooling
effects for the motor. This speeds up the start of overload detection operations when a standard motor is
used in order to prevent overheating.

9. Measures to satisfy the standards

9.1 How to cope with the CE directive
In Europe, the EMC directive and the low-voltage directive, which took effect in 1996 and 1997, respectively,
made it obligatory to put the CE mark on every applicable product to prove that it complies with the directives.
Inverters do not work alone but are designed to be installed in a control panel and always used in combination
with other machines or systems which control them, so they themselves are not considered to be subject to the
EMC directive. However, the CE mark must be put on all inverters because they are subject to the low-voltage
directive.

The CE mark must be put on all machines and systems with built-in inverters because such machines and
systems are subject to the above directives. It is the responsibility of the manufacturers of such final products to
put the CE mark on each one. If they are "final" products, they might also be subject to machine-related directives.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturers of such final products to put the CE mark on each one. In order to
make machines and systems with built-in inverters compliant with the EMC directive and the low-voltage directive,
this section explains how to install inverters and what measures should be taken to satisfy the EMC directive.

We have tested representative models with them installed as described later in this manual to check for
conformity with the EMC directive. However, we cannot check all inverters for conformity because whether or not
they conform to the EMC direction depends on how they are installed and connected. In other words, the
application of the EMC directive varies depending on the composition of the control panel with a built-in
inverter(s), the relationship with other built-in electrical components, the wiring condition, the layout condition, and
so on. Therefore, please verify yourself whether your machine or system conforms to the EMC directive.

9.1.1 About the EMC directive

9
The CE mark must be put on every final product that includes an inverter(s) and a motor(s). In the VF-nC3 series
of inverters, the single-phase 200 V class is equipped with an EMI filter and complies with the EMC directive if
wiring is carried out correctly.
 EMC directive
2004/108/EC
The EMC standards are broadly divided into two categories; immunity- and emission-related standards, each of
which is further categorized according to the operating environment of each individual machine. Since inverters
are intended for use with industrial systems under industrial environments, they fall within the EMC categories
listed in Table 1 below. The tests required for machines and systems as final products are almost the same as
those required for inverters.

9.1.2 Measures to satisfy the EMC directive

This subsection explains what measures must be taken to satisfy the EMC directive.
(1) Insert a recommended EMI filter (Table 2) on the input side of the inverter to reduce and transmission noise
and radiation noise from input cables.
In the combinations listed in Table 2, Inverters are tested in these combinations to see if they comply with
transmission noise standards.
Table 2 lists noise filters recommended for the inverters.

(2) Use shielded power cables, such as inverter output cables, and shielded control cables. Route the cables
and wires so as to minimize their lengths. Keep a distance between the power cable and the control cable
and between the input and output wires of the power cable. Do not route them in parallel or bind them
together, instead cross at right angle.
(3) It is more effective in limiting the radiation noise to install the inverter in a sealed steel cabinet. Using wires
as thick and short as possible, earth the metal plate and the control panel securely with a distance kept
between the earth cable and the power cable.
(4) Route the input and output wires apart from each other.
(5) To suppress radiation noise from cables, ground all shielded cables through a noise cut plate.
It is effective to earth shielded cables in the vicinity of the inverter and cabinet (within a radius of 10cm from
each of them). Inserting a ferrite core in a shielded cable is even more effective in limiting the radiation
noise.
(6) To further limit the radiation noise, insert a zero-phase reactor in the inverter output line and insert ferrite
cores in the earth cables of the metal plate and cabinet.

9.1.3 About the low-voltage directive

The low-voltage directive provides for the safety of machines and systems. All Toshiba inverters are CE-marked
in accordance with the standard EN 50178 specified by the low-voltage directive, and can therefore be installed in
machines or systems and imported without problem to European countries.

Applicable standard: IEC61800-5-1

9.1.4 Measures to satisfy the low-voltage directive

When incorporating the inverter into a machine or system, it is necessary to take the following measures so that
the inverter satisfies the low-voltage directive.
(1) Install the inverter in a cabinet and ground the inverter enclosure. When doing maintenance, be extremely
careful not to put your fingers into the inverter through a wiring hole and touch a charged part, which may
occur depending on the model and capacity of the inverter used.
(2) Connect earth wiring to the earth terminal on the EMC plate. Or install the EMC plate (attached as
standard) and another cable connect to earth terminal on the EMC plate. Refer to the table in 10.1 for
details about earth cable sizes.
(3) Install a non-fuse circuit breaker or a fuse on the input side of the inverter. (Refer to section 10.1 and 9.2.3)

9.2 Compliance with UL Standard and CSA Standard

The VF-nC3 models, that conform to the UL Standard and CSA Standard have the UL/CSA mark on the
nameplate.

9.2.1 General
The following steps must be performed before wiring and servicing.
(1)Turn off all input power.
(2)Wait at least fifteen minutes and check to make sure that the charge lamp is no longer lit.
(3)Use a tester that can measure DC voltage (400VDC or more), and check to make sure that the voltage to
the DC main circuits (across PA/+ and PC/-) is 45V or less.
If these steps are not properly performed, the wiring will cause electric shock. 9
9.2.2 Compliance with Installation
A UL certificate was granted on the assumption that the inverter would be installed in an enclosure.
Therefore, the environments in an enclosure take measures to maintain the following table.
(Refer to section 1.4.4)

■Environments

Note 1: Be sure to attach a surge killer to the exciting coil of the relay and the magnetic contactor.
Note 2: When using the auxiliary contacts 2a of the magnetic contactor MC for the control circuit, connect the
contacts 2a in parallel to increase reliability.
Note 3: When a motor is driven by commercial power supply using commercial power supply / inverter switching
circuit, use a magnetic contactor appropriated AC-3 class the motor rated current.
Note 4: Select an MCCB with a current breaking rating appropriate to the capacity of the power supply, because
short-circuit currents vary greatly depending on the capacity of the power supply and the condition of the
wiring system. The MCCB, MC and ELCB in this table were selected, on the assumption that a power
10 supply with a normal capacity would be used.

10.2 Installation of a magnetic contactor

If using the inverter without installing a magnetic contactor (MC) in the primary circuit, use an MCCB (with a
power cutoff device) to open the primary circuit when the inverter protective circuit is activated.
When using an optional brake module, install a magnetic contactor (MC) or non-fuse circuit breaker with a power
cutoff device on the primary power supply of the inverter, so that the power circuit opens when the failure
detection relay (FL) in the inverter or the externally installed overload relay is actuated.

 Magnetic contactor in the primary circuit

To detach the inverter from the power supply in any of the following cases, insert a magnetic contactor
(primary-side magnetic contactor) between the inverter and the power supply.

(1) If the motor overload relay is tripped

(2) If the protective detector (FL) built into the inverter is activated
(3) In the event of a power failure (for prevention of auto-restart)
(4) If the resistor protective relay is tripped when a braking resistor and braking module (option) are used

When using the inverter with no magnetic contactor (MC) on the primary side, install a non-fuse circuit
breaker with a voltage tripping coil instead of an MC and adjust the circuit breaker so that it will be tripped if
the protective relay referred to above is activated. To detect a power failure, use an undervoltage relay or
the like.

Example of connection of a magnetic contactor in the primary circuit

Notes on wiring
 When frequently switching between start and stop, do not use the magnetic contactor on the primary side as
an on-off switch for the inverter.
Avoid switching a magnetic contactor on the primary side more frequently than once every 1 hour.
Instead, stop and start the inverter by using terminals F and CC (forward run) or R and CC (reverse run).
 Be sure to attach a surge killer to the exciting coil of the magnetic contactor (MC).

J-3
 E6581597
E6581595

 Magnetic contactor in the secondary circuit

A magnetic contactor may be installed on the secondary side to switch controlled motors or supply
commercial power to the load when the inverter is out of operation.
Notes on wiring
 Be sure to interlock the magnetic contactor on the secondary side with the power supply to prevent commercial
power from being applied to the inverter output terminals.
 When installing a magnetic contactor (MC) between the inverter and the motor, avoid turning the magnetic
contactor on or off during operation. Turning the magnetic contactor on or off during operation causes a current
to rush into the inverter which could lead to malfunction.

10.3 Installation of an overload relay

1) The VF-nC3 inverter has an electronic-thermal overload protective function.
In the following cases, however, an overload relay suitable for the adjustment of the motor electronic
thermal protection level () and appropriate to the motor used should be installed between the inverter
and the motor.
 When using a motor with a current rating different to that of the corresponding Toshiba general-purpose
motor
 When operating a single motor with an output smaller than that of the applicable standard motor or more
than one motor simultaneously.
2) When using the VF-nC3 inverter to operate a constant-torque motor, such as the Toshiba VF motor, adjust
the protection characteristic of the electronic thermal protection unit (0m) to the VF motor use.
3) It is recommended to use a motor with a thermal relay embedded in the motor coil to give sufficient
protection to the motor, especially when it runs in a low-speed range.

Note 2. Indicates rated output current setting when the PWM carrier frequency (parameter f300) is 4kHz or less. Between 5
kHz and 12 kHz, the rated output current is indicated in the ( ). Above 13 kHz, the output current must be reduced. The
default setting of the PWM carrier frequency is 12kHz. (Refer to section 6.11)
Note 3. Maximum output voltage is the same as the input voltage. In case of 1-phase 120V class, maximum output voltage is
same as twice the input voltage.
With regard to 120V models, the output voltage may decrease about 10 to 20 % if motor load is applied. When
operating VFNC3 in conjunction with general-purpose motor (200V), it is necessary to reduce the motor load.
Note 4. 180V-264V (240V class), 90V-132V (120V class) when the inverter is used continuously (load of 100%).
Note 5. Required power supply capacity varies with the value of the power supply side inverter impedance (including those of
the input reactor and cables).

13.2 Restoring the inverter from a trip

Do not reset the inverter when tripped because of a failure or error before eliminating the cause. Resetting the
tripped inverter before eliminating the problem causes it to trip again.

The inverter can be restored from a trip by any of the following operations:

(1) By turning off the power (Keep the inverter off until the LED turns off.)
Note) See inverter trip hold selection  for details.
(2) By means of an external signal (Short circuit across RES and CC on control terminal block  Open): The
reset function must be assigned to the input terminal block. (function number 8, 9)
(3) By panel keypad operation
(4) By inputting a trip clear signal from communication
(Refer to communication manual (E6581657) for details.)

To reset the inverter by panel keypad operation, follow these steps.

1. Press the STOP key and make sure that  is displayed.
2. Pressing the STOP key again will reset the inverter if the cause of the trip has already been eliminated.

 When any overload function [: inverter overload, : motor overload] is active, the inverter
cannot be reset by inputting a reset signal from an external device or by operation panel operation
before the virtual cooling time has passed.

Virtual cooling time ...  : about 30 seconds after the occurrence of a trip
 : about 120 seconds after a occurrence of a trip

 As to  (Main module overload), there is no virtual cooling time.

 In case of a trip due to overheat (), the inverter checks the temperature within. Wait until the
temperature in the inverter falls sufficiently before resetting the inverter.
 The inverter cannot be reset while the emergency stop signal is being input from the terminal.

[Caution]
Turning the inverter off then turning it on again resets the inverter immediately. You can use this mode of
resetting if there is a need to reset the inverter immediately. Note, however, that this operation may damage
the system or the motor if it is repeated frequently.

14. Inspection and maintenance

Warning
 The equipment must be inspected every day.
If the equipment is not inspected and maintained, errors and malfunctions may not be discovered
which could lead to accidents.
 Before inspection, perform the following steps.
(1) Shut off all input power to the inverter.
Mandatory (2) Wait at least 15 minutes and check to make sure that the charge lamp is no longer lit.
action (3) Use a tester that can measure DC voltages (400V DC or more), and check that the voltage to the
DC main circuits (across PA-PC) does not exceed 45V.
Performing an inspection without carrying out these steps first could lead to electric shock.
Be sure to inspect the inverter regularly and periodically to prevent it from breaking down because of the environment
of use, such as temperature, humidity, dust and vibration, or deterioration of its components with aging.

14.1 Regular inspection

Since electronic parts are susceptible to heat, install the inverter in a cool, well-ventilated and dust-free place.
This is essential for increasing the service life.
The purpose of regular inspections is to maintain the correct environment of use and to find any sign of failure or
malfunction by comparing current operation data with past operation records.

14.2 Periodical inspection

Make a periodical inspection at intervals of 3 or 6 months depending on the operating conditions.

Warning
 Before inspection, perform the following steps.
(1) Shut off all input power to the inverter.
(2) Wait at least 15 minutes and check to make sure that the charge lamp is no longer lit.
Mandatory (3) Use a tester that can measure DC voltages (400V DC or more), and check that the voltage to the
action DC main circuits (across PA-PC) does not exceed 45V.
Performing an inspection without carrying out these steps first could lead to electric shock.
 Do not replace parts.
This will result in electric shock, fire and other injury. Please call your Toshiba distributor for repairs and
replacement of expendable parts.
Prohibited
 Estimated time of replacement of parts with life span varies depending on frequency of use and
conditions.

 Check items
1. Check to see if all screwed terminals are tightened firmly. If any screw is found loose, tighten it again
with a screwdriver.
2. Check to see if all caulked terminals are fixed properly. Check them visually to see that there is no trace
of overheating around any of them.
3. Check all cables and wires for damage. Check them visually.
4. Remove dirt and dust. With a vacuum cleaner, remove dirt and dust. When cleaning, clean the vents
and the printed circuit boards. Always keep them clean to prevent an accident due to dirt or dust.
5. If no power is supplied to the inverter for a long time, the performance of its main circuit smoothing
aluminum electrolytic capacitor declines.
When leaving the inverter unused for a long time, energize it for an hour or more each without load
accordance to the table section 14.4, to recover the performance of the electrolytic capacitor.
Then check the function of the inverter.
6. If the need arises, conduct an insulation resistance test on the main circuit terminal block only, using a
500V insulation resistance tester under changing the grounding capacitor's capacity to small by the
grounding capacitor switch about single-phase 200V class. Never conduct an insulation resistance test
on control terminals other than terminals on the printed circuit board or on control terminals. When testing
the motor for insulation, separate it from the inverter in advance by disconnecting the cables from the
inverter output terminals U/T1, V/T2 and W/T3. When conducting an insulation resistance test on
peripheral circuits other than the motor circuit, disconnect all cables from the inverter so that no voltage is
applied to the inverter during the test.
If it is 5 MΩ or more, there is no problem.
(Single-phase 200 V class with built-in noise filter will have lower values.)

(Note) Before an insulation resistance test, always disconnect all cables from the main circuit terminal
board and test the inverter separately from other equipment.

 Periodical inspection on the replacement parts

Inverters include lifetime parts (aluminum electrolytic capacitors, cooling fans, etc.). These parts age
because of the configurations or the physical properties. If they are left unused for a long time, the
performance of the inverter will deteriorate, thus resulting in a failure. Be sure to perform periodical
inspection for preventive maintenance.
For replacement of each replacement part, contact your Toshiba distributor. Do not replace the parts on
your own for safety.

1) Cooling fan inspection

The inspection items for the cooling fans are as follows:
• Are the cooling fans rotating stably?
• Is any unusual sound or vibration found?
Estimated time of replacement of the cooling fans that cool down the heat-generating parts are 10
years.

* Average ambient temperature 40°C, relative humidity 65%, load factor 80%, 24-hour operation per day
However, do not have corrosive gas, oil mist, dust, metal powder and so on.
Also, replace the fans when unusual sound or vibration is found.
For replacement of the cooling fans, contact your Toshiba distributor.

2) Smoothing aluminum electrolytic capacitor inspection

The inspection items for the smoothing aluminum electrolytic capacitor are as follows:
• Is liquid leak found?
• Is the safety valve lifted?
Estimated time of replacement of the smoothing aluminum electrolytic capacitor is 10 years.
* Average ambient temperature 40°C, relative humidity 65%, load factor 80%, 24-hour operation per day
However, do not have corrosive gas, oil mist, dust, metal powder and so on.
The replacement of the smoothing aluminum electrolytic capacitor is replaced the inverter itself.
Contact your Toshiba distributor.

☆ You can check the parts replacement alarm and output signals in [Monitor mode].
For details, refer to [6. 16. 14].
☆ Estimated timing of replacement of the smoothing aluminum electrolytic capacitor becomes shorter at
high ambient temperature, and becomes longer at low ambient temperature.

③ 인버터를 철재 제어반안에 설치할 경우 방사노이즈를 제한하는데 더 효과적입니다. 가능한 두껍고 짧은 전선을 사용하여,
접지 케이블과 전원 케이블 사이에 공간을 둔 상태로 금속판과 제어판을 확실하게 접지시켜주십시오.
④ 가능한 입력 전선과 출력 전선을 따로 배선하십시오.
⑤ 케이블의 방사노이즈를 억제하려면 노이즈 차단판으로 모든 차폐 케이블을 접지시키십시오. 인버터와 조작반사이의
공간(서로 반경 10cm 이내)에 차폐 케이블을 접지시키는 것이 효과적입니다. 차폐 케이블에 페라이트 코어를 삽입하면
방사 노이즈를 제한하는데 더욱 효과적입니다.
⑥ 인버터 출력선에 영상(零相)리액터를 삽입하고, 금속판과 제어반의 접지 케이블에 페라이트 코어를 삽입하면 더욱
효과적인 방사노이즈가 가능합니다.

■VF-nC3 motor control parameter default setting update information

■Adaptation to TOSHIBA IE3 motor

TOSHIBA standard motor has been changed from traditional IE1 motor to IE3 motor for energy efficiency improvement.
VF-nC3 inverter parameter default setting values are changed to adapt the motor control characteristics of IE3 motor.
If the inverter of the new software version V120 or later is applied to traditional IE1 motor, adjust the parameters according to
this sheet, because the motor control characteristics may not be same as the inverter of the old software version V112 or
earlier.
This sheet explains the product identification, the default setting values changed for IE3 motor and the adjustment of the
inverter parameter for traditional IE1 motor.

■Product identification Name plate

Packaging label
Identify the software version as following method.

a) Status monitor mode by the panel

CPU1 version shows the software version.
(Refer to section 8.2)
b) Name plate or packaging label of the inverter
Product version (refer to right figure) on the name plate or
packaging label shows following identification number. Product version

Product version Software version Target motor as default

(0)~(7) V100~V112 Traditional IE1 motor
(20)~ V120~ IE3 motor

■In case of new adoption of inverter

All parameters on Table1 should be set as follows.

a) In case of using IE3 motor, the parameters on Table1 can be used without change.
b) In case of using traditional IE1 motor, the parameters values should be adjusted according to Table4.
c) In case of using other motor or in case of setting pt (V/F control mode selection) except 0 or 1 the parameter values
should be adjusted to suit to applied motor. (For example: To do auto tuning)

■In case of replacing inverter of software version V112 or earlier

Regarding all the parameters on Table1, copy all of the parameter setting values from V112 or earlier version inverter, and
then set them to V120 or later version inverter. Same motor control characteristics will be obtained.
f457 and f458 are manufacturer setting parameters. However, change these parameters according to Table 4 for
achieving same motor control characteristics.
(f457 does not exist on V112 or earlier version inverter.)

■Impact of using traditional IE1 motor with default setting

In case traditional IE1 motor is driven by V120 or later version inverter with their default setting values described on Table3,
following operation can be impacted.
- Torque boost is set to low. Therefore, motor torque can be insufficient at low speed.
Countermeasure: Set the parameter on Table4.
- Motor rated speed is set to high. Therefore, motor slip can become larger than expected one at vector control.
Countermeasure: Set the parameter values on Table4, and apply auto tuning.

■Search changed parameters（gru）

In case of copying parameters from V112 or earlier version inverter to V120 or later version inverter, the parameters described
on Table1 are searched on the Searching Changed Parameters (gru: Automatic edit function).
Copying on opposite direction is led to the similar result.
(f457 does not exist on V112 or earlier version inverter.)

■Communication tool（PCM002Z）
In case of reading the parameters of V112 or earlier version inverter by the parameter list of V120 or later version (for IE3
motor) in maintenance communication tool (PCM002Z), PCM002Z displays as ‘modified’ for the parameters described on
Table1.
Reading with the opposite relation of their software version is led to the similar result.
(f457 does not exist on V112 or earlier version inverter.)
