5.2 Wiring Instructions
The VFD requires a single-phase 220V input and provides a three-phase 220V output for the motor. Always ensure power is disconnected before making any wiring connections.
Figure 5.1: Simplified 220V Inverter Wiring. This diagram shows the basic connections: single-phase 220V power supply to the inverter, and the inverter's three-phase output to the motor, along with the ground wire.
Figure 5.2: Household Electricity AC 220V to Three-Phase Asynchronous Motor Wiring. This image provides a more detailed wiring schematic, including a circuit breaker (switch) for the single-phase AC 220V input, connections to the frequency converter (VFD), and the output to a three-phase asynchronous motor.
Figure 5.3: Basic Operation Wiring Diagram. This schematic illustrates the comprehensive wiring for the VFD, including power input (L1, L2), multi-function input terminals (X1-X4), external keyboard interface (J10), potentiometer connections (10V, A1, GND), analog output (AO1), RS485 communication (485+, 485-), relay output (TA, TC), and the three-phase motor connections (U, V, W) with grounding.
Key Wiring Points:
- Connect the single-phase 220V AC power supply to the input terminals (typically L1 and L2 or R and S).
- Connect the three-phase motor to the output terminals U, V, and W.
- Ensure a proper ground connection for both the VFD and the motor.
- For external control, connect multi-function input terminals (X1-X4) as per your application requirements.
