  • Adding a Password: Enter the “User Password” setting, input the desired password, and confirm to save.
  • Removing a Password: Re-enter the “User Password” setting and set the password to 0 to remove password protection.

II. Torque Control and Vector Control

1. Torque Control

Torque control is a special control mode that allows users to directly set the output torque of the inverter instead of indirectly controlling the torque by setting the frequency. This control mode is very useful in situations where precise control of the load torque is required.

  • Setting Method: First, select “Torque Control” in the control mode. Then, choose the torque setting source through the corresponding parameter (such as A0-01), which can be the keyboard, analog input, communication, etc. Finally, set the desired torque value through parameters such as A0-03.

2. Vector Control

Vector control is a high-performance control method that achieves high-precision speed and torque control by precisely controlling the motor’s current and magnetic flux.

  • Optimizing Parameters: To obtain better vector control performance, users need to adjust related parameters based on the actual load conditions, such as the speed loop proportional gain (P2-00, P2-03) and speed loop integral time (P2-01, P2-04). The adjustment of these parameters requires certain professional knowledge and experience.

III. Terminal Start/Stop and Potentiometer Speed Regulation

1. Terminal Start/Stop

Controlling the start and stop of the inverter through external terminals is a commonly used control method. Users need to set the control mode of the inverter to “Terminal Control” and wire it correctly.

  • Wiring Terminals: Typically include the forward start terminal (e.g., DI1), reverse start terminal (e.g., DI2), and stop terminal (e.g., DI3).
  • Parameter Settings: Select “Terminal Command Channel” in P0-02 and set the corresponding terminal functions.

2. Potentiometer Speed Regulation

Potentiometer speed regulation is a simple speed regulation method where users can change the set frequency of the inverter by rotating the potentiometer, thereby achieving speed regulation.

  • Wiring Terminals: Connect the output end of the potentiometer to the analog input terminal of the inverter (e.g., AI1).
  • Parameter Settings: Select “Analog AI1 Setting” as the frequency source in P0-03.
E10 FAULT

IV. E10 Fault Handling

1. On-site Handling

The E10 fault typically indicates an overload of the inverter. When an overload fault occurs, users should first check if the load is too heavy or if the motor is stalled. If the load is normal, try increasing the inverter’s acceleration and deceleration times to reduce the impact on the motor.

2. Maintenance Handling

If on-site handling fails to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to disassemble the inverter for maintenance. During the maintenance process, focus on the following aspects:

  • Motor and Load: Confirm whether the motor and load are normal and free from mechanical faults or obstructions.
  • Inverter Parameters: Check whether the inverter’s overload protection parameters (such as P9-00, P9-01) are set reasonably.
  • Hardware Faults: If the parameter settings are normal and the load is without abnormality, it may be a hardware fault within the inverter, such as damaged power devices or poor heat dissipation. At this point, professional maintenance personnel should be sought for assistance.

Conclusion

The Shenzhen SHZHD Inverter V680 series is a powerful and flexible inverter product. Through this guide, users can better understand the inverter’s operation panel functions, parameter setting methods, the application of torque control and vector control, and common fault handling methods. In practical applications, users should configure parameters and control modes based on specific needs and load conditions to ensure stable operation and high performance of the inverter.

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.

Physical picture of Delta INVERTER MS300 series

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.
