Page 31 Footnotes for the preceding tables: Note 1: The protection method conforms to JEM 1030. Note 2: The applicable motor refers to Hitachi standard 3-phase motor (4-pole). When using other motors, care must be taken to prevent the rated motor current (50/60 Hz) from exceeding the rated output current of the inverter.
Page 32 1–12 L300P Inverter Specifications Derating Curves The maximum available inverter current output is limited by the carrier frequency and ambient temperature. The carrier frequency is the inverter’s internal power switching frequency, settable from 0.5 kHz to 12 kHz, or 0.5 kHz to 8 kHz for higher horsepower models. Choosing a higher carrier frequency tends to decrease audible noise, but it also increases the internal heating of the inverter, thus decreasing (derating) the maximum current output capability.

Page 37 The Hitachi inverter is a rugged and reliable device. The intention is for the inverter to assume the role of controlling power to the motor during 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).
Page 38 Braking” on page 5–6 for more information). For loads that continuously overhaul the motor for extended periods of time, the L300P 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.
Page 39 1–19 L300P Inverter Acceleration and deceleration settings specify the time required to go from a stop to maximum frequency (or visa versa). The Maximum speed Speed 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.
Page 40: Frequently Asked Questions
1–20 Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions What is the main advantage in using an inverter 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 resulting energy savings can often pay for the inverter in a relatively short time.
Page 41 How many poles should the motor have? A. Hitachi inverters can be configured to operate 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.

Page 153 4–19 L300P Inverter Free-run Stop When the terminal [FRS] is turned ON, the inverter turns OFF the output and the motor enters the free-run state (coasting). If terminal [FRS] is turned OFF, the output resumes sending power to the motor if the Run command is still active. The free-run stop feature works with other parameters to provide flexibility in stopping and starting motor rotation.
Page 154 4–20 Using Intelligent Input Terminals External Trip When the terminal [EXT] is turned ON, the inverter enters the trip state, indicates error code E12, and stops the output. This is a general purpose interrupt type feature, and the meaning of the error depends on what you connect to the [EXT] terminal.
Page 155 4–21 L300P Inverter Unattended Start If the Run command is already present when power is turned ON, the inverter starts running immediately after powerup. The Unattended Start Protection (USP) function prevents that Protection automatic startup, so that the inverter will not run without outside intervention. When USP is active, there are two ways to reset an alarm and resume running: 1.
Page 156 4–22 Using Intelligent Input Terminals Commercial The commercial power source switching function is useful in systems with excessive starting torque requirements. This feature permits the motor to be started “across the line,” sometimes Power Source called a bypass configuration. After the motor is running, the inverter takes over to control the Switching speed.
Page 157 4–23 L300P Inverter In the previous timing diagram, when the motor has been started across the line, Mg2 is switched OFF and Mg3 is switched ON. With the Forward command to the inverter already ON, the [CS] terminal is switched ON and relay Mg1 contacts close. The inverter will then read the motor RPM (frequency matching).

Page 159 4–25 L300P Inverter Analog Input The [AT] terminal operates in conjunction with parameter setting A005 to determine the analog input terminals that are enabled for current or voltage input. Setting A006 determines whether Current/Voltage the signal will be bipolar, allowing for a reverse direction range. Note that current input signal Select cannot be bipolar and cannot reverse direction (must use [FW] and [RV] command with current input operation).

The PID Disable function temporarily suspends and PID Clear PID loop execution via an intelligent input terminal. It overrides the parameter A071 (PID Enable) to stop PID execution and return to normal motor frequency output characteristics.
Page 164 4–30 Using Intelligent Input Terminals Remote Control The [UP] [DWN] terminal functions can adjust the output frequency for remote control while the motor is running. The acceleration time and deceleration time used with this function is the Up and Down same as for normal operation ACC1 and DEC1 (2ACC1,2DEC1).
Page 165 4–31 L300P Inverter Force Operation This function permits a digital operator interface to override the Run command source setting (A002) when it is configured for a source other than the operator interface. When the [OPE] from Digital terminal is ON and the operator interface gives a Run command, the inverter uses the standard Operator output frequency settings to operate the motor.
Page 166 4–32 Using Intelligent Input Terminals Overload The inverter constantly monitors the motor current during acceleration, deceleration, and constant speed. If the inverter reaches the overload restriction level, it adjusts the output Restriction frequency automatically to limit the amount of overload. This function prevents an over-current trip by inertia during rapid acceleration or large changes in load at constant speed.
Page 167 4–33 L300P Inverter The figure below shows the operation during an overload restriction event. The overload restriction level is set by B022 and B025. The overload restriction constant is the time to decel- erate to 0Hz from maximum frequency. When this function operates, the acceleration time will be longer than the normal acceleration time.

Page 171 4–37 L300P Inverter Frequency Arrival The Frequency Arrival group of outputs help coordinate external systems with the current velocity profile of the inverter. As the name implies, output [FA1] turns ON when the output Signals frequency arrives at the standard set frequency (parameter F001). Outputs [FA2] through [FA5] provide variations on this function for increased flexibility, relying on two programmable accel/ decel thresholds.
Page 172 4–38 Using Intelligent Output Terminals Frequency arrival output [FA1] uses the Output standard output frequency (parameter F001) frequency as the threshold for switching. In the figure to the right, the inverter accelerates to the set output frequency, which serves as the Threshold threshold for [FA1].

Page 180 4–46 Using Intelligent Output Terminals Run Time / L300P Series inverters accumulate the total hours in Run Mode (run time) and the total hours of power-ON time. You can set thresholds for these accumulating timers. Once the threshold is Power-On Time exceeded, an output terminal will turn ON.
Page 181 4–47 L300P Inverter Thermal Warning The purpose of the electronic thermal setting is to protect the motor from overloading, overheating and being damaged. The setting is based on the rated motor current. The inverter Signal calculates the thermal rise (heating) of the motor using the current output to the motor squared, integrated over the time spent at those levels.
Page 182 4–48 Using Intelligent Output Terminals Constant Torque Characteristic – The left graph below shows the effect of the constant torque characteristic curve. For example, at 2.5Hz, the output current level to cause overheating in a fixed time period is reduced by a factor of 0.9. The right graph below shows the reduced trip current levels in those conditions for given trip times.
Page 183 4–49 L300P Inverter Suppose the electronic thermal setting (B012) is set to 44 Amperes. The graph below shows the effect of the free setting torque characteristic curve. For example, at (B017) Hz, the output current level to cause overheating in a fixed time period is reduced to (B018) A. Points (x), (y), and (z) show the adjusted trip current levels in those conditions for given trip times.
