Pr. 7 "Acceleration time", Pr. 8 "Deceleration time"
● For the acceleration time, set the time to reach the acceleration/
deceleration reference speed Pr. 20 (default value: 1500r/min) from Pr. 95 "Online automatic tuning"
0r/min, and for the deceleration time, set the time to reach the 0r/min ● Favorable characteristics can be achieved even if the motor's secondary
from Pr. 20 (default value: 1500r/min). resistance value changes due to a rise in the motor temperature. This is
effective for increasing the torque control accuracy.

3 Remove this jumper when using FR-BEL.
4 The fan power is a single-phase power for the 7.5kW or smaller dedicated motors.
5 The converter's life will be shortened by repeated in-rush currents when the power is turned ON, so do not turn the power ON and OFF frequently.
6 Prepare a ±10V external power for terminals 1 and 3.

Regenerative brake This indicates that the motor's regenerative brake usage duty has reached 85% of the value set for Pr. 70 "Special regenerative brake

Electronic thermal This indicates that the electronic thermal count value has reached 85% of the set level. The motor overload shut-off (E.THM) will occur

This alarm appears in the following cases:
• When the RES signal is ON
• When setting of the parameters was attempted with the external operation mode
Error • When the operation mode was changed during operation
Err.
• When the parameter setting exceeds the setting range
• When the PU and inverter cannot communicate correctly
• When setting of the parameters was attempted during operation (when signals STF and STR are ON)

Maintenance output This indicates that the inverter's cumulative power ON time has excceded a set time. MT

Note 1. The electronic thermal's internal thermal count data will be initialized when the inverter is reset.
2. An error will not be displayed or output when an instantaneous power failure occurs. However, protection will activate in the inverter to prevent faults from occurring. Depending on the
operation status (load size, acceleration/deceleration time setting, etc.), the overcurrent protection may function when the power is restored.
3. The stall prevention operation current can be set. The default value is 150%.
4. Major fault: When the protection function activates, the inverter output will be cutoff and an error will be output. Minor fault: The output will not be cutoff even if the protection function
activates. The minor fault signal can be output with parameter settings.
5. Note that other protective functions may be added.
6. This does not function in the default state.
7. In the default state, an error will occur if OH-SD are not connected.

Note 1. Install NV on the primary side (power side) of the inverter.

2. When using connection neutral point grounding, the sensitivity current will worsen with respect to the ground fault on the inverter's secondary
side. Thus, use Class C protective grounding (10Ω or less) for the load devices.
3. When the breaker is installed on the secondary side of the inverter, unnecessary operations may occur due to higher harmonics even when the
effective value is less than the rating. In this case, the eddy current and hysteresis loss will increase and cause the temperature to rise. Thus, do
not install on the secondary side.
4. General products refer to the following models. BV-C1 type, BC-V type, NVB type, NV-L type, NV-G2N type, NV-G3N type, NV-2F type, earth

Note 1. Pass and wind each phase wire three winds (4T) or more in the same direction. (The effect will increase with each wind.)
2. If the wire is thick and cannot be wound, use four or more filters for the series, and pass the wire through each phase in the same direction.
3. The filter can be handled on the output side in the same manner as the input side. When using on the output side, pass the wire through three winds
(4T) or less.
4. Use the FR-BSF01 for the 3.7K or smaller capacity. A thick wire (38mm2 or larger) cannot be used. If required, use the FR-BLF.

Power factor improvement DC reactor <FR-BEL-(H)■■K>

● The power factor improvement DC reactor FR-BEL(-H) is used to improve the inverter's input current waveform efficiency, so the power capacity can be decreased.
This reactor is also effective in reducing the higher harmonic current on the input side. The loss is smaller than the AC reactor FR-BAL, so the unit can be downsized.
The input power factor is improved to approx. 95%.
