14 W7 ASD Installation and Operation Manual
The ASD is designed to operate NEMA B motors. Consult with your sales representative before using
the ASD for special applications such as with an explosion-proof motor or applications with a piston
load.
Do Not apply commercial power to the output terminals T1/U, T2/V, or T3/W.
Disconnect the ASD from the motor before megging or applying a bypass voltage to the motor.
Interface problems may occur when an ASD is used in conjunction with some types of process
controllers. Signal isolation may be required to prevent controller and/or ASD malfunction (contact
your Toshiba sales representative or the process controller manufacturer for additional information
about compatibility and signal isolation).
Use caution when setting the output frequency. Over speeding a motor decreases its ability to deliver
torque and may result in damage to the motor and/or the driven equipment.
All W7 ASDs are equipped with internal DC bus fuses. However, not all W7 ASDs are equipped with
internal primary power input fuses (HP-dependent).
Mounting the ASD
Install the unit securely in a well ventilated area that is out of direct sunlight using the mounting holes
on the rear of the ASD.
The ambient temperature rating for the W7 ASD is from 14 to 104° F (-10 to 40° C). The process of
converting AC to DC, and then back to AC produces heat. During normal ASD operation, up to 5% of
the input energy to the ASD may be dissipated as heat. If installing the ASD in a cabinet, ensure that
there is adequate ventilation.
Do Not operate the ASD with the enclosure door open or removed.
Note: Ensure that the ventilation openings are not obstructed.
ASDs produce high-frequency noise — steps must be taken during installation to avoid the negative
effects of noise. Listed below are some examples of measures that will help to combat noise problems.
• Separate the input and output power conductors of the main circuit. Do not install the input and
output wires in the same duct or in parallel with each other, and do not bind them together.
• Do not install the input or output power conductors of the main circuit and the wires of the control
circuit in the same duct or in parallel with each other, and do not bind them together.
• Use shielded wires or twisted wires for the control circuits.
• Ensure that the grounding terminals (G/E) of the ASD are securely connected to ground.
• Connect a surge suppressor to every electromagnetic contactor and every relay installed near the
ASD.
• Install noise filters as required.
