 WA R N I N G

Read and understand this manual before installing, operating, or servicing this drive. All
warnings, cautions, and instructions must be followed. All activity must be performed by
qualified personnel. The Drive must be installed according to this manual and local codes.

Do not touch any circuitry components while the main AC power is on. In addition, you must
wait until the red “CHARGE” LED is out before performing any service on that unit (as you look
at the face of the circuitry, the “CHARGE” LED is located inside the left side of the drive). It
may take as long as ten minutes for the charge on the main DC bus capacitors to drop to a safe
level.

Do not check signals during operation.

Do not connect the main output terminals (U/T1, V/T2, W/T3) to the incoming, three-phase AC
source.

Before executing Auto-Tuning, ensure that the motor is disconnected from the drive train, and
the electric brake is set (locked) closed to ensure the load does not move. If the electric brake
cannot be released, you must ensure that the brake is disengaged for the entire tuning process.

Do not connect or disconnect wiring while the power is on. Do not remove covers or touch
circuit boards while the power is on. Do not remove or insert the digital operator while power is
on.

Before servicing, disconnect all power to the equipment. The internal capacitor remains charged
even after the power supply is turned off. The charge indicator LED will extinguish when the DC
bus voltage is below 50VDC. To prevent electric shock, wait at least ten minutes after all
indicators are OFF and measure DC bus voltage level to confirm safe level.

Do not perform a withstand voltage test on any part of the unit. This equipment uses sensitive
devices and may be damaged by high voltage.

The drive is suitable for circuits capable of delivering not more than 30,000 RMS symmetrical
Amperes, 240VAC maximum (230V Class) and 480VAC maximum (460V Class). Install
adequate branch circuit short circuit protection per applicable codes. Failure to do so may result
in equipment damage and/or personal injury.

Do not connect unapproved LC or RC interference suppression filters, capacitors, or overvoltage

protection devices to the output of the drive. These devices may generate peak currents that
exceed drive specifications.

AC Reactor Specifications
Reactors, both as input (line) and output (load) devices, protect adjustable frequency drives, motors,
and other load devices against excessive voltage and current.

The following guidelines may help determine input and output reactor requirements:
• Install an input reactor if the power source is greater than 500kVA.
• Ensure the drive-to-motor wiring distance is less than 150 ft. unless appropriate reactors, filters and/or
Inverter Duty motor is used.
• Install an output reactor if a device, such as a power limit switch, is used to disconnect the motor from the
drive.
• Install one output reactor per drive for a multiple-drive arrangement requiring reactor protection.
• For a multiple drive arrangement, an input reactor for each drive is recommended for optimal protection.
However, if the drives are within two drive sizes of each other, a single input reactor can be used. The
reactor must be rated at amperage equal to or greater than the sum of the amperage for all the drives.

Assessing The System Requirements

WA R N I N G

•When preparing to mount the IMPULSE•G+ Mini drive, lift it by its base. Never lift it by the
front cover.
•Mount the drive on nonflammable material.
•The IMPULSE•G+ Mini drive generates heat. For the most effective cooling possible, mount
it vertically. For more details, refer to the “IMPULSE•G+ Mini Dimensions/Heat Loss—
Open Chassis” section in this chapter.
•When mounting units in an enclosure, install a fan or other cooling device to keep the
enclosure temperature below 122°F (50C).

Failure to observe these warnings may result in equipment damage.

It is important to know how you are going to use the drive before you start installation and wiring.
You will need to know your requirements for the following components:
• Motion (traverse or hoist)
• Motor HP, RPM, and FLA
• Speed control method (2-speed, 3-speed, multistep, etc.)
• Stopping method (Decelerate or Coast to Stop)
• Wire size
• Grounding location and method

Choosing a Location
Be sure the drive is mounted in a location protected against the following conditions:
• Extreme cold and heat. Use only within the ambient temperature range:
Open Chassis: +14 to 122F (-10 to 50C)
• Direct sunlight (not for use outdoors)
• Rain, moisture
• High humidity
• Oil sprays, splashes
• Salt spray
• Dust or metallic particles in the air
• Corrosive gases (e.g. sulfurized gas or liquids)

Long Time Storage
Powering up the drives every six months is quite beneficial. Over longer periods of time without
power, the drives’ electrolytic DC bus capacitors require reformation, especially if stored in an area
of high temperatures. Capacitor reforming is required if drives are stored without power for more
than 2 to 3 years. This process can be avoided by powering up the drive bi-annually for 30 to 60
minutes.
NOTE: Bus cap reforming alone may not restore full drive functionality after 2 to 3 years of
storage without power.

Inverter drives contain large bus capacitors that have the potential to be reformed. However, printed
circuit boards also contain electrolytic capacitors that may not function after several years without
power. Magnetek recommends replacing the PCBs should the drive’s functionality not be restored
after bus cap reforming. Contact Magnetek Service for questions.

Capacitor Storage and their Reforming Process

The electrical characteristics of aluminum electrolytic capacitors are dependent on temperature; the
higher the ambient temperature, the faster the deterioration of the electrical characteristics (i.e.,
leakage current increase, capacitance drop, etc.). If an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is exposed to
high temperatures such as direct sunlight, heating elements, etc., the life of the capacitor may be
adversely affected. When capacitors are stored under humid conditions for long periods of time, the
humidity will cause the lead wires and terminals to oxidize, which impairs their solderability.
Therefore, aluminum electrolytic capacitors should be stored at room temperature, in a dry location
and out of direct sunlight.

In the event that a capacitor has been stored in a high ambient environment for more than 2 or 3
years, a voltage treatment reformation process to electrolytic capacitors may have to be performed.
When stored above room temperatures for long periods of time, the anode foil may react with the
electrolyte, increasing the leakage current. After storage, the application of even normal voltages to
these capacitors may result in higher than normal leakage currents. In most cases the leakage current
levels will decrease in a short period of time as the normal chemical reaction within the capacitor
occurs. However, in extreme cases, the amount of gas generated may cause the safety vent to open.

Capacitors, when used in inverter drives that are stored for long periods of time, should be subjected
to a voltage treatment/reforming process as noted below, which will reform the dielectric and return
the leakage current to the initial level.
• Inverter Bus Capacitor Reforming Procedure:
• Connect the inverter inputs L1 and L2 to a variac.
• Make sure the variac voltage setting is turned down so that when input power is applied to the
variac, the output of the variac will be at or near 0 volts.
• Apply power to the variac, listening for abnormal sounds and watching for abnormal visual
indications in the drive. If the variac has an output current indication, make sure the current is
very near zero with zero or a steady output voltage applied.
• Slowly turn the variac up, increasing the variac’s output voltage to nominal rated input voltage
over a time period of 2 to 3 minutes. In other words, ramp the voltage up at a rate of
approximately 75 to 100 volts/minute for 230 VAC units, 150 to 200 volts/minute for 460 VAC
units, and 225 to 300 volts/minute for 575 VAC.
• Let the output voltage remain at rated voltage for 30 to 60 minutes while keeping close watch for

IMPULSE•G+ Mini Basic Instruction Manual - September 2011

2-5
 abnormal signs within the inverter. While increasing the variac’s output voltage, the current will
momentarily increase as current is necessary to charge the capacitors.
• Once 30 to 60 minutes elapse, remove power and package the drive for shipment.

If any abnormal indications occur during this process, it is recommended that the process be
repeated. Otherwise, this completes the capacitor reforming procedure.

IMPULSE•G+ Mini Wiring Practices

WA R N I N G

Before you wire the drive, review the following practices to help ensure that your system is
wired properly.

• Connect the incoming three-phase AC source to terminals R/L1, S/L2, T/L3.

• Connect the Motor leads to terminals U/T1, V/T2, W/T3.
• Ensure the drive-to-motor wiring distance is less than 150 ft unless appropriate reactors and/or
filters are used.
• Install a line reactor between the output of the drive in applications that require a disconnecting
means between the drive’s output and motor. Use a “make before break” auxiliary contact with
the disconnect means and the hardware baseblock of the drive.
• Use contacts between the PLC output and the drive 120/24/48 VAC input card. If using a solid
state output from a PLC (TRIAC) to a 120/24/48 VAC input card, use a 5 K, 5 Watt resistor
between the signal and X2.
• If the power source is 500 kVA or greater, or more than 10 times the inverter kVA rating, ensure
that there is at least 3 percent impedance between the power source and the drive input. To
accomplish this, you can install a DC reactor between inverter terminals +1 and +2, or use an AC
line reactor on the input of the drive. If you don’t provide enough impedance, excessive peak
currents could damage the input power supply circuit.
• Comply with “Suggested Circuit Protection Specifications and Wire Size” on page 3-8.
• Use time delay fuses, which are sized at 150% of drive's continuous-rated current, for drive input
protection.
• Use appropriate R-C or MOV type surge absorbers across the coil of all contactors and relays in
the system. Failure to do so could result in noise-related, nuisance fault incidents.
• Use external dynamic braking resistors for all applications.
• Do not ground the drive with any large-current machines.
• Before you use any welding or high-current machines near the crane, disconnect all line and
ground wiring.
• Do not let the wiring leads come in contact with the drive enclosure.
• Do not connect power factor correction capacitors to the drive input or output.
• Hard-wire the drive and motor (e.g., festoon cable). Do not use sliding collector bars.
• If you have a user input device or interface board that is remote, use shielded cable between the
drive input terminals and the interface output terminals or user input device(s).
• Before turning on the drive, check the output circuit (U/T1, V/T2 and W/T3) for possible short
circuits and ground faults.
• Increase the wire size by one size for every 250 feet (76.2 meters) between the drive and motor;
suggested for center driven cranes, trolleys, and bridges (voltage drop is significant at low
frequencies).

IMPULSE•G+ Mini Basic Instruction Manual - September

3-3
 • When using more than one transformer for the drive's power, properly phase each transformer.
• To reverse the direction of rotation, interchange any two motor leads (U/T1, V/T2 or W/T3).
(Changing R/L1, S/L2 or T/L3 will not affect the shaft rotation direction).
• Use shielded cable for all low-level DC speed reference signals (0 to 10VDC, 4 to 20 mA).
Ground the shield only at the drive side.
• Please observe National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines when wiring electrical devices.
NOTE: Failure to observe these warnings may result in equipment damage.

Safe Disable Function
The Safe Disable function can be utilized to perform a safe stop according to the EN60204-1, stop
category 0 (uncontrolled stop by power removal). It is designed to meet the requirements of the
EN954-1, Safety Category 3 and EN61508, SIL2.

Removing the voltage from terminal H1 disables the drive output, i.e. the power supply to the motor
is cut by stopping the switching of the output transistors in a safe way. “Hbb” is shown on the
display. Safe Disable is applicable for induction and permanent magnet motors.

Installation
If the Safe Disable function is utilized, the wire link between the terminals HC and H1 that is
installed at shipment must be removed entirely.

Connect the drive to an EN954-1, Safety Category 3 interrupting device so that in case of a Safe
Disable request, the connection between the terminals HC and H1 is opened.

Figure 3-2: Safe Disable Wiring Example

Installation Precautions:
• To ensure the Safe Disable function appropriately fulfills the safety requirements of the
application, a thorough risk assessment for the safety system must be carried out.
• The drive must be installed in an enclosure with a protection degree of at least IP54 in order to
maintain EN954-1, safety category 3 compliance.
• If the safety device and the drive are installed in separate cabinets, install the Safe Disable wires
in a manner preventing short circuits.
• The Safe Disable function does not cut the power supply to the drive and does not provide
electrical isolation. Before any installation or maintenance work is done, the power supply of
the drive must be switched off.
• The wiring distance for the Safe Disable inputs should not exceed 30 m.
• The time from opening the Safe Disable input until the drive output is switched off is less than 1
ms.
• When utilizing the Safe Disable function use the recommended filters manufactured by
Schaffner only.

Overview
With its easy-to-use keypad and X-Press Programming™ feature, the IMPULSE•G+ Mini makes it
easy to get up and running right away. This chapter explains how to navigate through the drive’s
menus along with the function and meaning of each button and indicator. The keypad makes it
possible to view fault codes and change parameter settings. The keypad enables you to:
• Program the various drive parameters.
• Monitor the functions of the drive.
• Read fault-diagnostic indications.
• Operate the drive using the keypad (local operation).

WA R N I N G

Because of the additional potential hazards that are introduced when any drive is operated
locally, we advise you to avoid operating it this way. If you do operate the drive locally, be
aware that the crane or hoist will move when you press the RUN button. If you have questions,
contact Magnetek.

Checks Before Powering

After mounting and interconnections are completed, verify:
• Correct connections.
• Correct input power supply. (No voltage drop or imbalance, source kVA  500, unless a line
reactor is used.) If unsure of the source transformer, use a line reactor.

WA R N I N G

DO NOT power 230V-rated drives with 460V power.

• No short circuit conditions.

• No loose screw terminals. (Check especially for loose wire clippings.)
• Proper load conditions.

Precautions
• Only start the motor if motor shaft rotation is stopped.
• Even with small loading, never use a motor whose nameplate amperage exceeds the inverter
rated current.

DANGER

Extreme caution should be used if braking method is set to decelerate to stop. If deceleration
time is too long, equipment could run into end stop device, causing damage to equipment or
injury to personnel.

 Parameters
The parameters are organized by function group, that determine how the drive functions. These
parameters are programmed in the drive’s software as measurable values or options—both of which
will be referred to in this manual as settings. While some of these parameters are associated with
one setting, others are tied to a number of possible settings.
NOTE: The terms “constant” and “parameter” have the same meaning.

By default, the IMPULSE•G+ Mini is configured for a common crane system. If you find it
necessary to change the intial settigs, it is recommended that you only allow qualified crane system
technicians to program the drive. This can be accomplished by using the Password and Access
Level features. For more information on these security features, see “User Parameters (A02.XX),”
in the IMPULSE•G+ Mini Advanced Instruction Manual (P/N 144-25085).

Initialize Parameters (A01.05)
Use this parameter to reset the drive to user-specified initial values or to clear an oPE04 fault.

Setting Description
0000 No Initialize (no action)
1110 User Initialize - Restores the drive to user-specified initial values.
5550 Copies saved parameters back from the terminal board to the drive’s memory.

User Initialize (A01.05 = 1110)

Once the drive is configured and the system is running, set parameter O02.03 = 01 to save all
modified parameters to the User Initialized memory. Once this has been done, the setting of 1110
“User Initialize” will be visible for A01.05. Changing A01.05 = 1110 will recall all modified
parameters back to what they were the last time they were saved using O02.03.
oPE04 Fault (A01.05 = 5550)

The oPE04 fault indicates the parameters in the terminal board do not match the parameters of the
control board. To reset the oPE04 fault, set A01.05 = 5550. This will copy the parameters from the
terminal board to the control board. Check and verify your kVA setting (O02.04) before operating
the drive. Please contact Magnetek support for assistance.

Password Entry 1 (A01.06)

This parameter enables the user to set a password that inhibits the programming of parameters
A01.01–A01.08 and locks the remaining parameters in the drive, except those stored in the User

To program a password, access the programming menu, “PAr,” and navigate to parameter A01.06.
Press the STOP and UP arrow keys at the same time to change the display from A01.06 to A01.07.
Press ENTER and program a password number into A01.07.

When parameters A01.06  A01.07, only parameters A01.01, A01.06, and A01.08 are visible and
cannot be modified. The Access Level is set to User Program (A01.01 = 0000). Parameters
programmed into A02.xx can be viewed in the “USEr” menu with read/write accessibility. When
A01.06 = A01.07, then A01.01 to A01.08 can be modified, along with the remaining parameters in
the drive.

When A01.06  A01.07, then A01.06 will show “LoC.” When A01.06 = A01.07, then A01.06 will
show “UnLoC.”

User Parameters (A02.01 through A02.32)

This function allows users to select up to 32 parameters for quick-access programming in the
“USEr” menu when the access level is set to User Program (A01.01 = 0000). This function is useful
when used in conjunction with A01.06, which locks all parameters in the drive except those stored in
the User Parameter group, A02.xx.

 Decel to Stop (B03.03 = 00)
Upon removal of the FWD or REV run command, the motor decelerates at a rate determined by the
time set in deceleration time 1 (B05.02) and DC injection braking is applied after the DC injection
start frequency, D01.01, has been reached. If the deceleration time is set too short or the load inertia
is large, an overvoltage fault (OV) may occur during deceleration. In this case, increase the
deceleration time or install an optional braking transistor and/or braking resistor.
Braking torque: without braking resistor, approximately 20% of motor rated torque; with braking
option, approximately 150% of motor rated torque.

Travel Limits
This function can automatically slow and stop a crane or hoist when it reaches the end of the travel
limits. Two types of limit inputs (slow and stop) are available in both travel directions. Inputs can
be programmed through H01.01–H01.07.

When the crane reaches either the Upper Limit 1 (UL1) or Lower Limit 1 (LL1), the drive will
decelerate to the Upper and Lower Limit speeds C03.01 and C03.04 respectively. When the crane
reaches either the Upper Limit 2 (UL2) or Lower Limit 2 (LL2), the drive will come to a stop based
on the Limit Stopping Method (C03.07). If C03.07 is set to 00, the deceleration time will use Upper

 Swift-Lift™
Swift-Lift provides additional productivity by allowing a hoist to quickly move into position by
increasing speeds under light or no load conditions. Swift-Lift will enable the motor to over-speed
by calculating the maximum safe speed and automatically accelerating to this speed. However, the
maximum speed cannot exceed the lesser of the Swift-Lift Forward Speed (C06.02) or Swift-Lift
Reverse Speed (C06.03) and the Max Output Frequency (E01.04). See the Swift-Lift timing
diagram on page 5-15.
NOTE: Swift-Lift is disabled when in traverse applications.
The maximum frequency (E01.04)  C06.02 and C06.03.

There are two methods that may be utilized to enable Swift-Lift:

1) Automatic: Swift-Lift can be enabled to automatically occur whenever the load is less than the
maximum percentage of motor current (C06.04 or C06.05) and the output frequency is greater than
the Swift Lift Enabling Speed (C06.06).
2) Manual: Swift-Lift may be enabled manually through the Multi-Functional Digital Inputs by
setting H01.01–H01.07 = 13.

WA R N I N G

Motors and drive machinery must be capable of operating above motor base speed. Consult
the motor/gearbox/hoist manufacturer before enabling Swift-Lift function. Failure to observe
this warning may result in damage to equipment and possible injury or death to personnel.

Configuring the Swift-Lift Function

Using Multi-Step 2, 3, 5 (A01.04 = 00, 01, or 02):

If the system is using Multi-Step as the Speed Control Method, use the following instructions to
set up Swift-Lift.
1. Set V/f Selection (E01.03) = 0F to allow for a custom V/f pattern.
NOTE: Choosing a Custom V/f pattern will require setting of E01.01–E01.13 parameters to
the current V/f selection. For additional V/f selections, see tables 5-4 and 5-5.
2. Ensure that the Maximum Frequency (E01.04) is increased from 60 Hz and will be equal to or
slightly greater than the maximum Swift-Lift Forward or Reverse speeds you want to run at.

Maximum frequency (E01.04)  C06.02 and C06.03.

3. Set C06.01 = 01 or 02 to enable the Swift-Lift Function.
a. 01 = Enable Automatic
b. 02 = Enable by Multi-Function Input (MFI).
4. Set C06.02 and C06.03 to determine Swift-Lift maximum FWD/REV output frequency.
5. Set C06.04 and C06.05 to determine Swift-Lift maximum enable output current.
6. Set the Swift-Lift Enabling Speed (C06.06) one or two hertz below the maximum normal
running speed reference.
a. For example: If the maximum normal running speed is at 60 Hz, set C06.06 to 58 or 59 Hz as
the Swift-Lift Enabling Speed.

Using Infinitely Variable 2, 3 Step (A01.04 = 03 or 04):

If the system is using 2-Step or 3-Step Infinitely Variable as the Speed Control Method, use the
following formula to adjust the constant B02.01 (Reference Upper Limit):
B02.01 = (60 Hz x 100) / E01.04
1. Set V/f Selection (E01.03) = 0F to allow for setting a custom V/f pattern.
NOTE: Choosing a Custom V/f pattern will require setting of E01.01–E01.13 parameters to
the current V/f selection. For additional V/f selections, see tables 5-4 and 5-5.
2. Ensure that the Maximum Frequency (E01.04) is increased from 60 Hz and will be equal to or
slightly greater than the maximum Swift-Lift Forward or Reverse speeds you want to run at.
a. Maximum frequency (E01.04)  C06.02 and C06.03.
3. Set the Frequency Upper Limit (B02.01). This is done so that the maximum normal running
speed will be 60 Hz with the new E01.04 setting.
a. For example, if E01.04 is set to 75.0 Hz, then B02.01 = 80%
B02.01 = (60.0 Hz x 100%) / (75.0 Hz) = 80%
4. Set C06.01 = 01 or 02 to enable the Swift-Lift Function:
a. 01 = Enable Automatic.
b. 02 = Enable by Multi-Function Input (MFI).
5. Set C06.02 and C06.03 to determine Swift-Lift maximum FWD/REV output frequency.
6. Set C06.04 and C06.05 to determine Swift-Lift maximum enable output current.

IMPULSE•G+ Mini Basic Instruction Manual – September 2011

5-13
 7. Set the Swift-Lift Enabling Speed (C06.06) one or two hertz below the maximum normal
running speed reference (see step 3).
a. For example: if the maximum normal running speed is at 60 Hz, set C06.06 to 58 or 59 Hz as
the Swift-Lift Enabling Speed.

Using Uni-Polar Analog (A01.04 = 05):

If the system is using Uni-Polar Analog as the Speed Control Method, use the following formula
to adjust the constants H03.03 (Gain Multiplier for Terminal A1 analog input signal) or H03.11
(Gain Multiplier for Terminal A2 analog input signal):

Gain Terminal A1: H03.03 = (60 Hz x 100) / E01.04

or

Gain Terminal A2: H03.11 = (60 Hz x 100) / E01.04

1. Set V/f Selection (E01.03) = 0F to allow for setting a custom V/f pattern.
2. Ensure that the Maximum Frequency (E01.04) is increased from 60 Hz and will be equal to or
slightly greater than the maximum Swift-Lift Forward or Reverse speeds you want to run at.
a. Maximum frequency (E01.04)  C06.02 and C06.03.
3. Set the terminal gain multiplier for H03.03 or H03.11. This is done so that the maximum normal
running speed will be 60 Hz with the new E01.04 setting. Use one of the above equations to
determine the correct multiplier.
a. For example, to set the gain for Terminal A1 if E01.04 is set to 80.0 Hz, then H03.03 = 75%
H03.03 = (60.0 Hz x 100%) / (80.0 Hz) = 75%
4. Set C06.01 = 01 or 02 to enable the Swift-Lift Function:
a. 01 = Enable Automatic.
b. 02 = Enable by Multi-Function Input (MFI).
5. Set C06.02 and C06.03 to determine Swift-Lift maximum FWD/REV output frequency.
6. Set C06.04 and C06.05 to determine Swift-Lift maximum enable output current.
7. Set the Swift-Lift Enabling Speed (C06.06) one or two hertz below the maximum normal
running speed reference (see step 3).
a. For example: if the maximum normal running speed is at 60 Hz, set C06.06 to 58 or 59 Hz as
the Swift-Lift Enabling Speed.

Tuning
These parameters help tune the motor for your application, which include Torque Compensation and
S-Curve characteristics for smoother transition during machine acceleration and deceleration.
Below are the parameters included in this section.
• D1 DC Injection
• D3 Torque Compensation
• D9 S-Curve Acceleration/Deceleration

DC Injection
DC Injection can be used to stop a motor whose rotational direction is uncertain at start-up.

With Decel to Stop enabled (B03.03 = 00), upon removal of the run command the IMPULSE•G+
Mini drive controls motor deceleration according to the Decel Time setting, until output frequency
reaches the DC Injection Braking Start Frequency (D01.01 setting). Then the drive output is turned
off and DC injection current is applied to the motor. The effective DC injection time and current
should be set to provide adequate stopping without excessive motor heating. The DC injection
voltage is determined by the DC injection braking current and motor impedance.

Increasing torque compensation gain increases motor torque, but an excessive increase may cause
the following:
• Inverter fault trips due to motor over-excitation and/or
• Motor overheat or excessive vibration

Protection Parameters
The IMPULSE•G+ Mini has the ability to protect both the drive’s hardware and motor by allowing
various means to detect and take corrective action when a condition occurs. These include motor
overload detection, torque detection, and the ability to perform a self-diagnostic check, and then
resume operation after a fault is cleared.
• L1 Motor Overload
• L3 Stall Prevention
• L4 Reference Detection
• L6 Torque Detection
• L8 Hardware Protection
• L9 Automatic Reset

Motor Overload
The IMPULSE•G+ Mini protects against motor overload with a UL-recognized, built-in electronic
thermal overload function, so an external thermal overload relay is not required for single motor
operation.
The electronic thermal overload function estimates motor temperature, based on inverter output
current, frequency and time to protect the motor from overheating. This time is based on a “hot start”
for the motor (see Figure 5-13: Motor Protection Operation Time). When the thermal overload fault
is activated, an “OL1” fault occurs, shutting OFF the inverter output and preventing excessive
overheating in the motor. As long as the inverter is powered up, it continues to calculate the motor
temperature.
When operating several motors with one inverter, use the internal thermal protection from the motor
in accordance with NEC 430.126 (6) or install an external thermal overload relay on each motor, and
disable the motor overload protection, L01.01 = “00”.

cooling capability below rated
(base) speed when running at
100% load. The OL1 fuction
derates the motor any time it is
running below base speed.
02 Standard Blower Selects a motor capable of
Cooled cooling itself over a 10:1 speed
range when running at 100% load.
The OL1 function derates the
motor when it is running at 1/10th
of its rated (base) speed or less.
03 Vector Motor Selects a motor capable of
cooling itself at any speed when
running at 100% load. Includes
zero speed. The OL1 function
does not derate the motor at any
speed.

increases the output frequency at the set acceleration rate. If the acceleration rate
is too fast for the load condition, the inverter may trip on overcurrent (OC) or
overload (OL).
01 General Purpose Stall prevention/current limit during acceleration is enabled (factory default).
The acceleration rate is automatically extended according to motor current to
prevent stalling during acceleration. The acceleration time may be longer than the
set value (B05.01).
02 Intelligent Stall prevention/current limit during acceleration is enabled with an intelligent
acceleration mode. By monitoring motor current, the acceleration is the shortest

 The stall prevention/current limit level during acceleration is set as a percentage of inverter rated
current. Setting L03.01 = 00 disables current limit during acceleration. During acceleration, if the
output current exceeds this current limit level (L03.02), acceleration stops and frequency is
maintained. When the output current decreases below this current level (L03.02), acceleration
restarts. See below, Figure 5-14.

When a motor is used above rated speed (E01.06), the output characteristics change from constant
torque to constant HP (see Figure 5-15). During acceleration above rated speed, the stall prevention
current limit level is automatically reduced for smoother acceleration. The parameters (L03.02 and
L03.03) limit the stall prevention current limit level in this region. The current limit during
acceleration is changed according to the following equation:

Troubleshooting the Drive
In this troubleshooting section, “check” means investigating whether an item is functioning and in
an acceptable physical condition, and then taking corrective action (adjusting, fixing, replacing,
etc.) as necessary. In the Corrective Action column, you may not have to perform all of the steps to
correct the problem.

Maintenance and Inspection

This section describes basic maintenance and inspection procedures for the IMPULSE•G+ Mini.

or oil and oil cannot be removed, replace the board.
Cooling Fan Abnormal noise and vibration Clean or replace the fan.
Power Components Accumulation of dust or dirt Blow with dry, compressed air (57-86 psi).

Alarm and Fault classes are described as follows:

• Major Fault: Brake is set, ALM indicator LED remains lit, fault is displayed on keypad and
brake contact output (terminals MA, MB & MC) is deactivated. The reset key must be pressed, a
multi-function input set for fault reset or power must be cycled in order to continue operation.
• Fault (Minor): Brake is set, ALM/indicator LED flashes, fault code flashes in the keypad, brake
contact output (terminals MA, MB & MC) is deactivated. The reset key does not need to be
pressed. The drive will attempt to run again at the next run command.
• Alarm (Warning): Operation continues, ALM/indicator LED flashes, fault code flashes, brake
contact output (terminals MA, MB & MC) stay activated.

Power Section Check

WA R N I N G

Do NOT touch any circuit components while AC main power is on or immediately after the main
AC power is disconnected from the unit. You must wait until the red “CHARGE” lamp is
extinguished. It may take as long as 10 minutes for the charge on the main DC bus capacitors to
drop to a safe level. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious injury.

Power Off Checks

To perform a power section check, remove the drive’s main and control wiring from the terminal
strips. Obtain reading as specified in the table on the next page, and ensure that the reading falls
within the normal reading range.
Test equipment - Analog Ohmmeter set R x 1 scale or digital multimeter set to the diode check.
