Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Do I need an external braking module for this 5.5kW VFD?

No. The EV200-0055G-T4 comes with a built-in braking unit. You do not need a separate chopper module. You only need to connect an external dynamic braking resistor to the PB and (+) terminals to enable fast braking for high-inertia loads like saws or centrifuges.

2. Can I run a 5.5kW motor on single-phase 220V with this drive?

No. This model (T4) requires a Three-Phase 380V input. It cannot step up single-phase 220V to 380V. If you only have single-phase power, you would need a specific single-phase input VFD (usually limited to lower horsepower) or a rotary phase converter before the drive.

3. What is the “Narrow Body” advantage?

The 85.5mm width is significantly slimmer than standard 7.5HP drives. This allows for side-by-side mounting with zero clearance, meaning you can fit more drives into a smaller, less expensive control cabinet. This is ideal for multi-motor machines like textile or packaging lines.

4. How do I set up PID control for a water pump?

Connect your pressure sensor (e.g., 4-20mA) to the AI1 terminal (ensure Jumper J4 is set to Current). Set P0-03=8 (PID Control). Set PA-01 to your desired pressure setpoint (as a %), and PA-02=0 (AI1 Feedback). The VFD will automatically adjust the 7.5HP pump speed to maintain constant pressure.

Quick Start Guide (How-To)

Warning: 380V is lethal. Disconnect the power and wait 10 minutes before wiring.

Step 1: Installation

Mount the VFD vertically on a DIN rail or backplate. Ensure the cooling fans at the bottom are not blocked.

Step 2: Wiring

  • Input: Connect 3-Phase 380V supply to R, S, T.

  • Output: Connect the 7.5HP motor to U, V, W.

  • Braking (Optional): Connect braking resistor to PB and (+).

  • Ground: Connect PE to earth.

Step 3: Parameter Setup

Power on. Press PRG to enter the menu:

  • P1-01: Set to 5.5 (Motor Power).

  • P1-02: Set to 380 (Voltage).

  • P1-03: Set to 13.0 (Current – Verify on Motor Nameplate).

  • P1-04: Set to 50.00 (Frequency).

  • P1-05: Set to 1440 (RPM).

Step 4: Auto-Tuning

  • Set P0-01 = 0 (Vector Control).

  • Set P1-37 = 1 (Static Auto-tuning).

  • Press RUN. The drive will energise the motor to measure resistance.

Step 5: Operation

  • Set P0-02 = 1 (Terminal Control) for external switches or 0 for the Keypad.

  • Use the potentiometer or external signal to adjust speed.

Core Features & Advantages

  • Built-in Braking Unit: Unlike smaller drives that require external modules, the 5.5kW model integrates the braking chopper. You can directly connect a braking resistor to terminals PB and (+) for rapid deceleration of heavy loads like centrifuges or saw blades, improving safety and cycle times.

  • Ultra-Narrow High-Density Design: At just 85.5mm wide, this 7.5HP drive allows for high-density side-by-side installation. This critical space-saving feature enables engineers to fit more drives into standard control cabinets, reducing enclosure costs for multi-axis systems.

  • High-Torque Sensorless Vector Control (SVC): Delivers 150% starting torque at 0.5Hz, ensuring powerful, stall-free startups for heavy friction loads such as loaded conveyors or extruders.

  • Independent Air Duct Cooling: The vertical straight-through air duct isolates cooling air from the PCB. This protects sensitive electronics from conductive dust and oil mist found in textile mills, woodworking shops, and stone fabrication plants.

  • Robust 380V Grid Adaptability: Designed to handle industrial voltage fluctuations (380V ±15%) with built-in AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation), ensuring consistent motor performance even on unstable power grids.

  • Advanced Process Control: Features a built-in PID controller for closed-loop pressure or flow regulation, and a Simple PLC for automating multi-step speed cycles (e.g., wash/spin cycles in laundry machines) without external PLCs.
