Expect lower torquethan when running from line power. To get more starting torque, use a larger drive or increase both the motor and drive capacity.Emergency StopWhen the drive faults out, the output shuts off but the motor does not stop immediately. A mechanical brake may be requiredwhen it is necessary to stop the motor faster than the ability of the Fast Stop function of the drive.OptionsNOTICE: The B1, B2, +1, +2, and +3 terminals are used to connect optional A1000-compatible devices only. Connecting non-Yaskawa-approved devices to these terminals may damage the drive.Repetitive Starting/StoppingLaundry machines, punching presses, and other applications with frequent starts and stops often approach 150% of their ratedcurrent values. Heat stress generated from repetitive high current will shorten the life span of the IGBTs.Yaskawa recommends lowering the carrier frequency, particularly when audible noise is not a concern. It is beneficial toreduce the load, increase the acceleration and deceleration times, or switch to a larger drive to help keep peak current levelsunder 150%. Be sure to check the peak current levels when starting and stopping repeatedly during the initial test run, andmake adjustments accordingly.n InstallationEnclosure PanelsKeep the drive in a clean environment by installing the drive in an enclosure panel or selecting an installation area free ofairborne dust, lint, and oil mist. Be sure to leave the required space between drives to provide for cooling, and take propermeasures so the ambient temperature remains within allowable limits and keep flammable materials away from the drive.Yaskawa offers protective designs for drives that must be used in areas subjected to oil mist and excessive vibration. ContactYaskawa or your Yaskawa agent for details.Installation DirectionNOTICE: Install the drive upright as specified in the manual. Refer to Mechanical Installation on page 28 for more information oninstallation. Failure to comply may damage the drive due to improper cooling.n SettingsMotor CodeWhen using OLV/PM, set the proper motor code to parameter E5-01 before performing a trial run.Upper LimitsNOTICE: The drive is capable of running the motor up to 400 Hz. Be sure to set the upper limit for the frequency of the drive to prevent thepossible danger of accidentally operating equipment at higher than rated speed. The default setting for the maximum output frequency is60 Hz.DC Injection BrakingNOTICE: Excessive current during DC Injection Braking and excessive duration of DC Injection Braking can cause motor overheat.i.2 General Safety16 YASKAWA ELECTRIC TOEP C710616 41B YASKAWA AC Drive - A1000 Quick Start Guide
