EV510A-1850G/2000P-T4: High-Capacity VFD for Maximum Power and Uptime

The EV510A-1850G/2000P-T4 is a high-performance vector frequency inverter engineered to meet the most demanding high-power applications in industrial automation. The cornerstone of this drive is its G/P Dual-Rated capability, which allows a single unit to be expertly configured for two different operational modes :   

  1. G-Type (Constant Torque): Rated for 185kW (approx. 250 HP) “General” (G-type) loads, such as large-scale extruders, crushers, or rolling mills. This mode is defined by its high starting torque and robust overload capacity.   
  2. P-Type (Variable Torque): Rated for 200kW (approx. 275 HP) “Pump or fans” (P-type) loads. This mode is optimized for energy efficiency in applications like centrifugal pumps and large-scale ventilation.   

This strategic dual-rating simplifies inventory for system integrators and provides a standardized, high-performance control platform. As an enhanced version of the EV510 series, the EV510A is “smaller in size, more compact in structure… and more stable in performance”. It utilizes a “high-performance current vector control” algorithm for outstanding precision and integrates essential reliability features like “Instantaneous stop not stop” (power loss ride-through) and a “Quick current-limit function” to maximize system uptime.   

Why Choose the EV510A-1850G/2000P-T4?

In the 185-200kW power class, the EV510A-1850G/2000P-T4 provides an intelligent combination of power, precision, and value.

  • Maximize ROI with Dual-Rating: The G/P dual-rating is this drive’s most intelligent feature. It eliminates the need to source and stock two separate AC drives for a 185kW heavy-duty machine and a 200kW fan. The EV510A-1850G/2000P-T4 handles both, reducing inventory costs and simplifying procurement.
  • Built for Reliability: For critical processes, reliability is paramount. The “Instantaneous stop not stop” function provides essential ride-through for brief power sags, while the “Quick Current-limit”  actively prevents nuisance trips from load shocks, keeping your operation running.
  • Modern, Compact Footprint: As the upgraded EV510A version, this drive is “smaller in size, more compact in structure, and more stable in performance”. This saves valuable cabinet real estate and contributes to a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through enhanced reliability.   
  • Integrated Process Control: This is more than a simple motor spinner. With powerful Sensorless Vector Control (SVC)  for high-torque tasks and a “Built-in PID” controller for process loops, this single drive can manage a wide range of sophisticated automation tasks without needing an external PLC.

Typical Application Fields

  • A large industrial plastics extruder processing material with consistent speed.

    Plastic Extruders

    Plastic extruders demand high, constant torque to turn the screw and melt plastic. The 185kW G-Type rating with SVC provides stable speed control, which is critical for uniform product diameter and quality.

  • The powerful interlocking steel teeth of an industrial shredder tearing metal scrap.

    Industrial Shredders

    The 250 HP G-Type rating delivers the extreme torque and 150% overload capacity required for industrial shredders to process tough materials like plastic, wood, or metal scrap.

  • Water bubbling vigorously in a large concrete basin at a water treatment facility.

    Wastewater Aeration Blowers

    Powers 200kW (275 HP) aeration blowers. The P-Type mode offers significant energy savings, while the PID control can be used to maintain precise dissolved oxygen levels in the treatment basins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What do G-Type and P-Type mean on the EV510A-1850G/2000P-T4? 

A: This specifies the drive’s dual-rating, selectable via parameter P9-76. G-Type (General) is rated for 185kW Constant Torque applications (like extruders) and provides a high overload capacity (150% for 60s). P-Type (Pump) is rated for 200kW Variable Torque applications (like fans) with a standard overload (120% for 60s).   

Q: Is the EV510A different from the EV510? 

A: Yes, the EV510A is the upgraded version. It is “smaller in size, more compact in structure, and more stable in performance”.   

Q: What is “Instantaneous stop not stop”? 

A: This is a power loss ride-through function. If the power sags, the drive uses the motor’s feedback energy to “compensate for voltage-drop to keep running for a short time,” preventing a shutdown.

Q: Can this VFD run two different motors? 

A: Yes, but not simultaneously. It has a “Multi-motor Switch” function. You can program two motor profiles (in parameter groups P1 and A2) and switch between them using a digital input or parameter P0-24.   

Q: What are the most common fault codes? 

A: Common VFD fault codes include FU02 (Over current during acceleration), FU06 (Over voltage during deceleration), FU09 (Under voltage), and FU14 (Inverter Overheat).   

Q: Does this drive have a PID controller? 

A: Yes, it features a powerful “Built-in PID” controller. This allows it to receive an analog feedback signal (like a pressure or temperature sensor) and automatically manage a closed-loop process. The parameters are in group PA.

Quick Start Guide (How-To)

This guide is intended to help you quickly set up and diagnose the EV510A Variable Frequency Drive based on the user manual.   

Guide 1: Commissioning – How to Auto-Tune the Motor

To achieve the best performance in Sensorless Vector Control (SVC) mode (when P0-01=0), you must first perform a motor auto-tune.   

  1. Input Motor Nameplate Data: In parameter group P1, enter the following values from your motor’s nameplate:   
    • P1-01: Motor 1 Rated power (kW)
    • P1-02: Motor 1 Rated voltage (V)
    • P1-03: Motor 1 Rated current (A)
    • P1-04: Motor 1 Rated frequency (Hz)
    • P1-05: Motor 1 Rated speed (rpm)
  2. Select Auto-Tune Mode: Set parameter P1-37  to choose the tuning type:   
    • 1: Asynchronous machine static self-learning
    • 2: Asynchronous machine dynamic complete self-learning (Requires motor to be uncoupled)
  3. Execute Auto-Tune: After selecting the mode, press the RUN key to begin the auto-tuning process.   

Guide 2: Process Control – How to Set Up PID

Using the built-in PID (Group PA)  allows you to create a constant pressure pump system without an external PLC.   

  1. Set PID Feedback Source: Wire your 4-20mA pressure transducer to analog input AI2. Set the AI2 jumper on the control board to ‘I’ (current). Then, set parameter PA-02 = 1 (PID feedback source = AI2).   
  2. Set PID Target Value (Setpoint): Set PA-00 = 0 (PID reference source = PA-01). Then, enter your target pressure percentage in PA-01 (e.g., 50.0%).   
  3. Adjust PID Gains:
    • PA-05 (Proportional Gain Kp1): Default is 20.0. Adjust to speed up or slow down the response.   
    • PA-06 (Integral Time Ti1): Default is 2.00s. Adjust to eliminate steady-state error.   
  4. Set Feedback Loss Detection: To prevent the pump from running at max speed if the sensor wire breaks, set PID feedback loss detection.   
    • PA-26: Set detection level (e.g., 10.0%).
    • PA-27: Set detection time (e.g., 2.0s). This will trigger fault FU31 (PID feedback lost).
