4. Setup
4.1. Mounting
The DEWIN VFD Inverter is designed for embedded installation. Ensure adequate space around the unit for proper ventilation and heat dissipation. Mount the unit securely using appropriate fasteners.
4.2. Wiring Instructions
The inverter requires a single-phase 220V input and provides a three-phase 220V output. It is crucial to correctly wire the power supply and the motor. If your motor is originally configured for three-phase 380V (Delta connection), it must be reconfigured to a 220V Star or Delta connection to be compatible with this inverter.
Figure 4: 220V Inverter Wiring Diagram.
- Input Power (AC 220V): Connect the single-phase 220V power supply to the 'AC' terminals on the inverter.
- Ground Wire (FG): Connect the ground wire to the 'FG' terminal. This is essential for safety.
- Motor Output (U, V, W): Connect the three-phase motor to the 'U', 'V', and 'W' output terminals.
- Motor Connection: Ensure your three-phase motor is configured for 220V operation (Star or Delta connection). If it was previously used with a 380V supply, its internal winding connection must be changed.
5. Operating Instructions
Once the inverter is correctly wired and mounted, you can proceed with operation.
- Power On: Apply single-phase 220V power to the inverter. The digital display will illuminate.
- Initial Check: Observe the digital display. It typically shows the output frequency (e.g., 50.0 Hz).
- Start Motor: Press the RUN button to start the motor. The motor will begin to rotate at the current frequency setting.
- Adjust Speed: Rotate the Panel speed control Positioner knob (located at the bottom of the control panel) clockwise to increase motor speed and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The digital display will show the adjusted frequency in real-time.

- Stop Motor: Press the STOP button to halt motor operation.
- Parameter Settings: For advanced settings and parameter adjustments, refer to the detailed programming guide provided with the inverter. Use the PROG, UP, DOWN, and OK buttons to navigate and modify parameters.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your VFD inverter.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the inverter's exterior and ventilation openings to prevent dust accumulation, which can hinder heat dissipation. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Ventilation: Ensure the cooling fan and radiator are free from obstructions. Proper airflow is critical for preventing overheating.
- Connection Checks: Regularly inspect all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Loose connections can lead to poor performance or safety hazards.
- Environmental Monitoring: Maintain the operating environment within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your VFD inverter.
7.1. Common Problems and Solutions
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor does not start | No power, incorrect wiring, motor overload, emergency stop engaged. | Check power supply, verify wiring, reduce motor load, check for emergency stop button. |
| Undervoltage error displayed | Input voltage too low, internal DC bus issue. | Verify stable input AC voltage. If issue persists, contact support. |
| Overload error | Motor drawing too much current. | Reduce motor load, check motor for mechanical issues, verify motor power rating. |
| Overheat warning | Insufficient ventilation, high ambient temperature, fan malfunction. | Ensure clear airflow, clean radiator, check fan operation. |
| Erratic speed control | Interference, faulty speed potentiometer, incorrect parameter settings. | Check for sources of electrical interference, inspect potentiometer, reset parameters to default. |
