G7 Drive

1/2 - 500 HP

This innovative drive utilizes 3 level control to offer the best solution for challenging installations. Yaskawa is the only manufacturer to offer a low voltage drive with this architecture. 3 level technology minimizes drive induced problems associated with long motor cables and premature motor bearing failures. In addition, overall electrical noise is greatly reduced, resulting in the most problem free installations. Not only does the Yaskawa G7 deliver this exclusive advantage, but it also provides high flexibility and excellent vector performance for control of speed, torque, and position, available in ratings through 500HP.

	When replacing the motor for the application and the heat sink cooling fans. How do I reset Cumulative Motor Operation Time U1-13 and Heat Sink Cooling Fan Operation Time U1-40? Posted Date: 09/16/2013 Answer: When a motor replacement is needed, Cumulative Motor Operation Time (U1-13) can be reset with setting parameter o2-07=000000. When replacing the heat sink cooling fans on the drives, Heat Sink Cooling Fan Operation Time (U1-40) can be reset with setting parameter o2-10=00000.

	What will happen if there is only .5'' clearance from either top or bottom of the drive to an enclosure? Posted Date: 03/14/2006 Answer: There MUST be a minimum of 4.7'' clearance above and below the drive (varies by model) to allow airflow over the heat sink. Otherwise, an OH alarm (cooling fin overheat) may occur. Also, a minimum 1.2'' clearance (varies by model) is required on each side of the drive. Refer to the appropriate drives instruction manual for the mounting and clearance specifications.

	What is the meaning of CAL or CALL on the keypad display?. Posted Date: 10/28/2005 Answer: Upon drive power up when the drives Run Command or the frequency reference are to be given from PLC thru serial communication - "CALL" will flash on the display for the VS F7/G7 - "CAL" will flash on the display for the VS mini V7/J7 This indicates the unit is awaiting the appropriate communications data. Once a node receives acceptable data from PLC, CALL or CAL will stop flashing. the drive is then ready to run.

	What is the ambient temperature derating (L8-12 setting)? Posted Date: 01/22/2007 Answer: The output current capacity and the overload capabilities of the inverter depend on the ambient temperature. The higher the ambient temperature the lower is the maximum output current because the heat dissipation becomes more difficult. The overload protection function is active only when the current is above the maximum continuous output current level (112% of inverter rated current). At ambient temperatures higher than 45°C (40°C for IP20) this level will be lowered. The ambient temperature can be set in parameter L8-12. The setting range is 45°C to 60°C. Because the inverter has no IP00/20 detection the set value for L8-12 must be 5° higher than the real ambient temperature at IP20 units.

	What is California's Proposition 65? Posted Date: 06/01/2020 Answer: California Proposition 65 is a standalone program that affects commercial goods sold in the state of CA. This was enacted in 1986 as "The safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986". Businesses, including manufacturers, producers, packagers, importers, suppliers and distributors, are required to provide warnings required under the California Code of Regulations (the “Code”) if their products or facilities can expose consumers or workers to a listed chemical above identified threshold levels, known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. The chemical list contains more than 900 substances, and this list is updated every year.

	Is it possible to use auto-tuning without rotating the motor? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: Yes. In addition to their past rotational auto-tunings, both the F7 and G7 have been set up to allow for auto-tuning at stop. Auto-tuning is possible with the load attached. The inverters are designed to allow for simple auto-tuning when working with only phase-to-phase resistance. Primary resistance auto-tuning allows the drive to compensate for long lead lengths. The settings in the T1 parameters will allow for the settings of these three modes.

	If the drives carrier frequency is changed , is it necessary to re-autotune the drive? Posted Date: 04/09/2012 Answer: No, it is not necessary to re-run auto-tune if the carrier frequency is changed . The auto-tune calculates motor constants so is not dependent on carrier frequency . Drives with vector control modes, open-loop vector and closed-loop vector, have a built-in auto-tuning function, which optimizes the inverter for any standard induction motor. For help with auto-tuning and carrier frequency, please consult the drive's on-line manual SIEPC71061641.

	I am using the MOP function on the 7 series drives and on my deceleration; the drive is following the speed pot instead of the deceleration time. Why is that? Posted Date: 02/28/2013 Answer: This Problem does not present itself very often. In nearly all MOP operation, connection is usually not used on terminals A1 and A2. The analog inputs can be used and, by default are used for speed limiting. When deceleration is done to the drive, the drive will follow the speed limit.

	Does installation of an AC Drive near a large capacitor bank (power-factor correction) require special consideration? Posted Date: 10/27/2005 Answer: Yes. Capacitors are put across the AC power line to correct for lagging power factor due to inductive loads. Motors, relay coils, transformers, etc. are inductive loads. Many times capacitors are switched on and off the line as demand changes. Unfortunately, this switching results in large voltage spikes on the power line which can damage the drives rectifier circuit. To prevent damage use a 5% line reactor on the drive's input. If overvoltage faults are indicated, add dynamic braking -- this will clamp the DC bus.
