3% ERF DB Resistor Protection

Sets the function to enable braking resistor protection with a Yaskawa ERF series braking resistor (3% ED) installed on the heatsink.

0
Disabled

Disables braking resistor protection. Use this setting for dynamic braking options that are not Yaskawa ERF series braking resistors.

1
Enabled

Enables protection for Yaskawa ERF series braking resistors.

Note:

Set L8-01 = 1 and H2-01 to H2-04 = D [MFDO Function Select = Braking Resistor Fault]. Use a sequence to turn OFF power with MFDO.

Sets the function to enable and disable output phase loss detection. The drive starts output phase loss detection when the output current decreases to less than 5% of the drive rated current.

Note:

The drive can incorrectly start output phase loss detection in these conditions:

  • The motor rated current is very small compared to the drive rating.

  • The drive is operating a PM motor with a small load.

Drive oL2 @ Low Speed Protection

Sets the function to decrease the drive overload level at which the drive will trigger oL2 [Drive Overload] during low speed operation (6 Hz or slower) to prevent damage to the main circuit transistors.

Note:

Contact Yaskawa or your nearest sales representative before disabling this function at low speeds. If you frequently operate drives with high output current in low speed ranges, it can cause heat stress and decrease the life span of drive IGBTs.
