  1. Operation Panel Function Introduction:
    • Digital Operator (OPE-S): The standard-equipped digital operator provides a user-friendly interface for setting parameters, monitoring operating conditions, and controlling the inverter. Key functions include setting output frequency, selecting operation direction, and initiating start/stop commands.
    • Monitor Modes: The panel displays various monitor modes, such as output frequency, output current, operation direction, and alarm status, to provide real-time feedback on the inverter’s performance.
  2. Resetting to Factory Defaults:
    • To restore the inverter to its factory default settings, you need to navigate to the appropriate parameter (typically b084) in the function mode and set it to 01 for data initialization or 02 for both trip history clear and data initialization. This action resets all parameters to their default values, effectively restoring the inverter to its out-of-the-box state.
  3. Password Management:
    • Setting a Password: To set a password for parameter access, use the C070 parameter to select the data command mode (e.g., 03 for RS485 communication). Then, configure the relevant communication parameters (such as transmission speed, code, bit, and parity) to establish a secure communication channel.
    • Eliminating a Password: To remove the password, simply reset the C070 parameter to its default value (02 for operator mode), which disables password protection and allows unrestricted access to all parameters.

II. Terminal Start/Stop, Forward/Reverse Control, and External Potentiometer Speed Adjustment

The Hitachi Inverter SJH300 series offers flexible control options, including terminal start/stop, forward/reverse control, and external potentiometer speed adjustment. Here’s how to configure these features:

  1. Terminal Start/Stop and Forward/Reverse Control:
    • Wiring: Connect the start (FW) and stop (RV) terminals to the appropriate control signals. For forward/reverse control, you may need to assign specific intelligent input terminals (e.g., terminals 7, 8 for forward/reverse commands).
    • Parameter Setting:
      • Set A002 to 01 to select terminal operation command.
      • Configure F004 to select the desired operation direction (00 for forward, 01 for reverse).
      • If using intelligent input terminals for forward/reverse control, assign the corresponding terminals (e.g., terminals 7, 8) and set the appropriate function codes (C001-C008).
  2. External Potentiometer Speed Adjustment:
    • Wiring: Connect the external potentiometer (typically a 10kΩ linear potentiometer) across the O-L (0-10V) terminals. Ensure proper grounding and shielding to avoid noise interference.
    • Parameter Setting:
      • Set A001 to 01 to select terminal frequency command.
      • Configure A011 (O start) and A012 (O end) to define the minimum and maximum output frequencies corresponding to the potentiometer’s minimum and maximum resistance values.
      • Adjust A013 (O start rate) and A014 (O end rate) if linear adjustment is not achieved directly with the potentiometer.

By following these steps, you can effectively configure the Hitachi Inverter SJH300 series for terminal-based start/stop and forward/reverse control, as well as external potentiometer speed adjustment, to suit your specific application requirements.

Analysis, Types, and Maintenance Solutions for Delta Inverter GFF Fault

I. Meaning and Internal Mechanism of Delta Inverter GFF Fault

When a Delta inverter reports a “GFF” fault code, it indicates a “Ground Fault” (GFF) has occurred at the output terminal. This fault typically involves issues with the output circuit, such as damage to the IGBT, a short circuit in the output, or problems with the driver circuit, particularly when using PC929 optocouplers.

II. Analysis of the GFF Fault Scenario Described

In the scenario provided, the Delta inverter reports a GFF fault immediately upon connecting the motor, but the fault disappears when the motor wires are disconnected and the inverter is started alone. This suggests that the issue lies with the motor or the connection between the motor and the inverter, rather than the inverter itself.

Possible Causes:

  1. Motor Wiring Issues:
    • Short circuit or ground fault in the motor wiring.
    • Poor connection or loose wires at the motor terminals.
  2. Motor Problems:
    • Internal short circuit or ground fault within the motor.
    • Insulation failure or damage in the motor windings.
  3. External Interference:
    • Electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment affecting the inverter’s output circuit.
  4. IGBT or Driver Circuit Damage:
    • Although less likely in this case (since the fault disappears without the motor), damage to the IGBT or driver circuit could still be a factor if there are underlying issues with the inverter’s output stage.

III. Steps for Troubleshooting and Maintenance

  1. Check Motor Wiring:
    • Ensure all motor wires are properly connected and tightened.
    • Inspect the wires for any signs of damage, wear, or short circuits.
  2. Insulation Resistance Test:
    • Perform an insulation resistance test on the motor to check for insulation failure.
  3. Disconnect and Reconnect Motor:
    • Disconnect and then reconnect the motor wires to ensure a good connection.
    • Use a multimeter to test for continuity and shorts between the motor wires and ground.
  4. Isolate the Motor:
    • Try running the inverter with a different motor (if available) to determine if the fault lies with the motor or the inverter.
  5. Check Inverter Output Circuit:
    • Inspect the inverter’s output circuit for any signs of damage, particularly around the IGBTs and driver circuitry.
    • Replace any damaged components if necessary.
  6. Consult the Manual and Technical Support:
    • Refer to the Delta Inverter manual for more detailed troubleshooting steps and fault codes.
    • Contact Delta technical support for assistance if the issue cannot be resolved.

IV. Conclusion

The GFF fault reported by the Delta inverter is likely related to the motor or its connection to the inverter. By systematically checking the motor wiring, performing insulation resistance tests, and isolating the motor, the root cause of the fault can be identified and resolved. If the fault persists, further inspection of the inverter’s output circuit may be necessary.
