    Introduction to Variable-Frequency Drives
    The Purpose of 
    Motor Speed 
    Control for 
    IndustryHitachi inverters provide accurate speed control for 3-phase AC induction motors. You connect 
    AC power to the inverter, and connect the inverter  to the motor. Many applications can benefit 
    from the use of variable-speed drives in several ways:
     Energy savings - HVAC
     Need to coordinate speed with an adjacent process - te xtiles and printing presses
     Need to control ac celeration and deceleration (torque)
     Sensitive loads - elevators, food processing,  pharmaceuticals
    What is an 
    Inverter?The term inverter and variable-fre quency drive are related and somewhat interchangeable. An 
    electronic drive for an AC motor controls the motor’s speed by  varying the frequency of the 
    power sent to the motor.
    An inverter, in general, is a device that conv erts DC power to AC power. The figure below 
    shows how the variable-frequency drive employs an  internal inverter. The drive first converts 
    incoming AC power to DC through a rectifier bri dge, creating an internal DC bus voltage. Then 
    the inverter circuit converts the DC back to AC again to power the motor. The special inverter 
    can vary its output frequency and voltage according to the desired motor speed.
    The simplified drawing of the inverter shows th ree double-throw switches. In Hitachi inverters, 
    the switches are actually IGBTs (isolated ga te bipolar transistors). Using a commutation 
    algorithm, the microprocessor in the drive sw itches the IGBTs ON and OFF at a very high 
    speed to create the desired output waveforms.  The inductance of the motor windings helps 
    smooth out the pulses.
    Torque and 
    Constant Volts/
    Hertz OperationIn the past, AC variable speed drives used an 
    open loop (scalar) technique to control speed. 
    The constant-volts-per-hertz operation 
    maintains a constant ratio between the applied 
    voltage and the applied frequency. With these 
    conditions, AC inductio n motors inherently 
    delivered constant torq ue across the operating 
    speed range. For some applications, this scalar 
    technique was adequate.
    Today, with the advent of sophisticated micro-
    processors and digita l signal processors 
    (DSPs), it is possible to control the speed and 
    torque of AC inductio n motors with unprece-
    dented accuracy. The SJ700
    2 utilizes these devices to perform complex mathematical calcula-
    tions required to achieve superior perfo rmance. The technique is referred to as sensorless 
    vector control . It allows the drive to continuously mo nitor its output voltage and current, and 
    their relationship to each  other. From this it mathematically calculates two vector currents. One

    vector is related to motor flux current, and the other to motor torque current. The ability to 
    separately control these two vect ors is what allows the SJ700
    2 to deliver extraordinary low-
    speed performance and speed control accuracy.
    Inverter Input and 
    Three-Phase 
    PowerThe Hitachi SJ7002 Series of inverters includes two sub-groups: the 200V class and the 400V 
    class inverters. The drives  described in this manual may be used in either the United States or 
    Europe, although the exact voltage level for comm ercial power may be slightly different from 
    country to country. Accordingly, a 200V class  inverter requires (nominal) 200 to 240VAC, and 
    a 400V class inverter requires from 380 to 480VAC. All SJ700
    2 inverters require three-phase 
    input power, whether 200V or 400V class.
    TIP:  If your application only has single phase po wer available, refer to the Hitachi SJ100 
    Series inverters. SJ100 inverters of 3HP  or less can accept single phase input power.
    The common terminology for sing le phase power is Line (L) and Neutra l (N). Three-phase 
    power connections are usually labe led Line 1 (L1), Line 2 (L2) and Line 3 (L3). In any case, 
    the power source should include a ground connection. That ground conne ction will need to 
    connect to the inverter chassis and to the motor frame (see  “
    Wire the Inverter Output to Motor” 
    on page 2–26).
    Inverter Output to 
    the MotorThe AC motor must be connected only to the inverter’s 
    output terminals. The output terminals are uniquely 
    labeled (to differentiate them from the input terminals) 
    with the designations U/T 1, V/T2, and W/T3. This 
    corresponds to typical moto r lead connection designa-
    tions T1, T2, and T3. It is of ten not necessary to connect 
    a particular inverter output to a particular motor lead for 
    a new application. The consequence of swapping any 
    two of the three connections is the reversal of the motor 
    direction. In applic ations where reversed rotation could 
    cause equipment damage or pe rsonnel injury, be sure to 
    verify direction of rotation  before attempting full-speed 
    operation. For safety to pers onnel, you must connect the 
    motor chassis ground to the ground connection at the 
    bottom of the inverter housing.
    Notice the three connections to the motor do no t include one marked “Neutral” or “Return.” 
    The motor represents a balanced  “Y” impedance to the inverter, so there is no need for a 
    separate return. In other words, each of the three “Hot” connections serves also as a return for 
    the other connections, because  of their phase relationship.
    The Hitachi inverter is a rugged and reliable devi ce. The intention is for the inverter to assume 
    the role of controlling power to the motor durin g all normal operations. Therefore, this manual 
    instructs you not to switch OFF power to the inverter  while the motor is running (unless it is an 
    emergency stop). Also, do not install or use disc onnect switches in the wiring from the inverter 
    to the motor (except thermal disconnect). Of cour se, safety-related devices such as fuses must 
    be in the design to break power during a malf unction, as required by NEC and local codes.3-Phase

    Intelligent 
    Functions and 
    ParametersMuch of this manual is devoted to describing how 
    to use inverter functions and how to configure 
    inverter parameters. The inverter is microproces-
    sor-controlled, and has many independent 
    functions. The microprocessor has an on-board 
    EEPROM for parameter storage. The inverter’s 
    front panel keypad provides access to all 
    functions and parameters , which you can access 
    through other devices as  well. The general name 
    for all these devices is the  digital operator, or 
    digital operator panel . Chapter 2 will show you 
    how to get a motor running, using a minimal set 
    of function commands or  configuring parameters.
    The optional read/write programmer will let you 
    read and write inverter EEPROM contents from 
    the programmer. This feature is particularly 
    useful for OEMs who need to duplicate a particu-
    lar inverter’s settings in many other inverters in 
    assembly-line fashion.
    BrakingIn general, braking is a force that attempts to slow or stop motor rotation. So it is associated 
    with motor deceleration, but may also occur even when the load attempts to drive the motor 
    faster than the desired speed (overhauling). If you need the motor and load to decelerate 
    quicker than their natural de celeration during coasting, we recommend installing a braking 
    resistor. The dynamic braking un it (built into certain SJ700
    2 models) sends excess motor 
    energy into a resistor to slow the motor and load (see  “
    Introduction” on page 5–2 and 
    “
    Dynamic Braking” on page 5–6 for more information). For loads that continuously overhaul 
    the motor for extended periods of time, the SJ700
    2 may not be suitable  (contact your Hitachi 
    distributor).
    The inverter parameters include acceleration  and deceleration, which you can set to match the 
    needs of the application. For a particular invert er, motor, and load, there will be a range of 
    practically achievable acce lerations and decelerations.
    Velocity ProfilesThe SJ7002 inverter is capable of sophisti-
    cated speed control. A graphical representa-
    tion of that capability will help you 
    understand and configure the associated 
    parameters. This manual makes use of the 
    velocity profile graph used in industry 
    (shown at right). In the example, the acceler-
    ation is a ramp to a set speed, and the decel-
    eration is a decline to a stop.

    Acceleration and deceleration settings 
    specify the time required to go from a stop to 
    maximum frequency (or visa versa). The 
    resulting slope (speed change divided by 
    time) is the acceleration or deceleration. An 
    increase in output frequency uses the accel-
    eration slope, while a decrease uses the 
    deceleration slope. The accel or decel time a 
    particular speed cha nge depends on the 
    starting and ending fre quencies. However, 
    the slope is constant, corresponding to the 
    full-scale accel or decel time setting.
    For example, the full-scale acceleration 
    setting (time) may be  10 seconds—the time 
    required to go from 0 to 60 Hz.
    The SJ700
    2 inverter can store up to 16 preset 
    speeds. And, it can apply separate accelera-
    tion and deceleration transitions from any 
    preset to any other preset speed. A multi-
    speed profile (shown at  right) uses two or 
    more preset speeds, which you can select via 
    intelligent input terminals. This external 
    control can apply any preset speed at any 
    time. Alternatively, the selected speed is 
    infinitely variable across the speed range. 
    You can use the potentiometer control on the 
    keypad for manual control. The drive 
    accepts analog 0-10V signals and 4-20 mA 
    control signals as well.
    The inverter can drive the motor in either 
    direction. Separate FW and RV commands 
    select the direction of rotation. The motion 
    profile example shows a forward motion 
    followed by a reverse motion of shorter 
    duration. The speed presets and analog 
    signals control the magnitude of the speed, 
    while the FW and RV  commands determine 
    the direction before the motion starts.
    NOTE: The SJ7002 can move loads in both directions. Ho wever, it is not designed for use in 
    servo-type applications that use a bipolar  velocity signal that determines direction.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    Q.What is the main advantage in using an invert er to drive a motor, compared to alternative 
    solutions?
    A. An inverter can vary the motor speed with  very little energy loss, unlike mechanical 
    or hydraulic speed control solutions. The re sulting energy savings can often pay for 
    the inverter in a relatively short time.
    Q. The term “inverter” is a little confusing,  since we also use “drive” and “amplifier” to 
    describe the electronic unit  that controls a motor. What does “inverter” mean?
    A. The terms are used somewhat interchang eably in industry. Nowadays, the terms 
    drive , variable-frequency drive,  variable-speed drive, and inverter  are generally used 
    to describe electronic, microprocessor-based motor speed controllers. In the past, 
    variable speed drive  also referred to various mech anical means to vary speed. Ampli-
    fier  is a term almost exclusively used to de scribe drives for servo or stepper motors.
    Q. Although the SJ700
    2 inverter is a variable speed drive, can I use it in a fixed-speed appli-
    cation?
    A. Yes, sometimes an inverter can be used simply as a “soft-start” device, providing 
    controlled acceleration and deceleration to  a fixed speed. Other functions of the 
    SJ700
    2 may be useful in such a pplications, as well. However, using a variable speed 
    drive can benefit many types of industria l and commercial motor applications, by 
    providing controlled accelera tion and deceleration, high torque at low speeds, and 
    energy savings over alternative solutions.
    Q. Can I use an inverter and AC induction motor in a positioning application?
    A. That depends on the required precision, and the slowest speed the motor must turn 
    and still deliver torque. The SJ700
    2 inverter will deliver  200% rated torque while 
    turning the motor at only 0.3 Hz. DO NOT use an inverter if you need the motor to 
    stop and hold the load position without the aid of a mechanical brake (use a servo or 
    stepper motion control system).
    Q. Does the optional digital operator interfa ce or the PC software (DOP Professional) 
    provide features beyond what is avai lable from the keypad on the unit?
    A. Yes. However, note first that the same se t of parameters and functions are equally 
    accessible from either the unit’s keypad or  from remote devices. The DOP Profes-
    sional PC software lets you save or load in verter configurations to or from a disk file. 
    And, the hand-held digital operator provides hard-wired terminals,  a safety require-
    ment for some installations.
    Q. Why does the manual or othe r documentation use terminology such as “200V class” 
    instead of naming the actual voltage, such as “230 VAC?”
    A. A specific inverter model is set at the factory to work across a voltage range particular 
    to the destination country for  that model. The model specific ations are on the label on 
    the side of the inverter. A European 200V cl ass inverter (“EU” marking) has different 
    parameter settings than a USA 200V class inverter (“US” marking). The initialization 
    procedure (see  “
    Restoring Factory Default Settings” on page 6–16) can set up the 
    inverter for European or US commercial voltage ranges.
    Q. Why doesn’t the motor have a neutral c onnection as a return to the inverter?
    A. The motor theoretically represents a “balanced Y” load if all three stator windings 
    have the same impedance. The Y connection allows each of the three wires to alter-
    nately serve as input or retu rn on alternate half-cycles.
    Q. Does the motor need a chassis ground connection?
    A. Yes, for several reasons. Most importantly,  this provides protection in the event of a 
    short in the motor that puts a hazardous voltage on its housing. Secondly, motors 
    exhibit leakage currents that increase with  aging. Lastly, a grounded chassis generally 
    emits less electrical nois e than an ungrounded one.

    Q.What type of motor is compatible with the Hitachi inverters?
    A. Motor type  – It must be a three phase AC induction motor. Use an inverter-grade 
    motor that has 800V insulation for 200V cl ass inverters, or 1600V insulation for 
    400V class.
    Motor size  – In practice, it’s better to find th e right size motor for your application; 
    then look for the inverter to match the motor.
    NOTE: There may be other factors that will affect  motor selection, including heat dissipation, 
    motor operating speed profile, enclosure type, and cooling method.
    Q.How many poles should the motor have?
    A. Hitachi inverters can be configured to oper ate motors with 2, 4, 6, or 8 poles. The 
    greater the number of poles, the slower the top motor speed will be, but it will have 
    higher torque at the base speed.
    Q. Will I be able to add dynamic (resistive) braking to my Hitachi SJ700
    2 drive after the 
    initial installation?
    A. Yes. Models SJ700-004XXX through SJ700-220XXX have built-in dynamic braking 
    units. You can add an extern al resistor to these models to improve braking perfor-
    mance. Models SJ700-300XXX through SJ700-4000XXX require you to add an 
    external braking unit. The braking resistor  connects to the external braking unit for 
    those models. More inform ation on dynamic braking is located in Chapter 5.
    Q. How will I know if my applicatio n will require resistive braking?
    A. For new applications, it may be difficult to  tell before you actually test a motor/drive 
    solution. In general, some ap plications can rely on system  losses such as friction to 
    serve as the decelerating force, or otherw ise can tolerate a long decel time. These 
    applications will  not need dynamic braking. However, applications with a combina-
    tion of a high-inertia load and a required short decel time will ne ed dynamic braking. 
    This is a physics question that may be  answered either empirically or through 
    extensive calculations.
    Q. Several options related to elec trical noise suppression are available for the Hitachi invert-
    ers. How can I know if my applicati on will require any of these options?
    A. The purpose of these noise filters is to redu ce the inverter electrical noise so the 
    operation of nearby electrical devices is not affected. Some applications are governed 
    by particular regulatory agenci es, and noise suppression is mandatory. In those cases, 
    the inverter must have the corresponding noi se filter installed. SJ700 models from 
    -004XXX (0.4kW) to -1500XXX (150kW) have built-in EMC filters. Other applica-
    tions may not need noise suppression, unless  you notice electrical interference with 
    the operation of other devices.
    Q. The SJ700
    2 features a PID loop feature. PID loops  are usually associated with chemical 
    processes, heating, or process industries in  general. How could the PID loop feature be 
    useful in my application?
    A. You will need to determine the particular main variable in your application the motor 
    affects. That is the process variable (PV)  for the motor. Over time, a faster motor 
    speed will cause a faster change in the PV than a slow motor speed will. By using the 
    PID loop feature, the inverter commands  the motor to run at the optimal speed 
    required to maintain the PV at the desire d value for current conditions. Using the PID 
    loop feature will require an  additional sensor and other wiring, and is considered an 
    advanced application.
