Good job, like my vfd yl620a. Thanks for sharing

I have the same one and can't get it to go above 50 hz. I need 60hz. Any idea on which settings I need to change to get it to go to 60

Hello, thanx for the video. Do you know how to restart this vfd to factory reset?

Hey nice vid , is it just me or is the volume a tad low ?

The amplitude on the charts at the beginning of the video may be incorrect. I believe that 240V mains is 240V RMS (in the USA at least).

Yes that’s true, the charts are a simplification in that respect. While it might have been an interesting aside, the graphs are really just supposed to be an illustration of what is going on even if they’re not strictly accurate, it may have been confusing to say that the peak is 300-odd volts when we’re using 240v for programming the vfd.

Hello, Great explanation, any chance to get modbus working for this VFD? thanks in advance.

@ImpracticalMachinist

Modbus isn't something that I've played with yet, I have looked into it briefly and I'd like to try it out but it'll have to wait until I've got hold of a spare vfd, which isnt likely to happen any time soon.

i confirm at 16:45 its the RS485 communication

16:55 AFAICT these DIP switches are there to set the analog control voltage. 1100 would set it to 0-10V control while 0000 will set it to 0-5V control.

That sounds like quite an interesting setup, how have you got it connected up?

The manual says, "Please lower the carrier frequency when there is a longer distance between the inverter and the motor..." I see no settings to adjust the carrier frequency, but the specs do say it is adjustable between 1kHz and 15kHz. Is there a setting for Carrier Frequency?

It looks like the setting you want is P12.19 PWM frequency, by default it should be set to 8khz

Hi there. Great video. I have this unit 2.2kw version and wanted a 3 phase 380v output for a pump 1.5kv and controller I have. But the 3 phase output seems to be not what I need. Any ideas? Or is this product not going to work for me? Thanks

@ImpracticalMachinist

Setting p12.01 gives you an adjustable output voltage, and on my vfd it allows for adjustment well above 380v. However I haven’t tested this to see if it’s actually putting out a higher voltage than the input. If you have a multimeter handy it would be interesting to see if that’s actually happening.

@@ImpracticalMachinist that's a good question. On the multimeter the input is a solid 230v AC but the output makes the multimeter goes crazy and reads around 1900v. I just don't understand. Is the unit outputting a DC current I wonder. Like I said I bought it thinking I had a converter to go from single phase 230v AC to three phase 380v AC but I'm left scratching my head

It looks like measuring vfd output voltage is a little more complicated than just sticking the electrodes across two phases. I’ll try and have a read about it this evening.

The long and the short of it is that no, the vfd itself simply won’t enable you to take the voltage from 240 to 380v, it just doesn’t have the hardware on board. You could put a transformer before the input, though whether this vfd would be ok with that I don’t know, and as much as I’d love to try it out I don’t have a spare vfd or an appropriate transformer. Is replacing the motor an option?

need to increase the volume... can't hear anything.

Hello Sir, What is the value for P00.00 (Mains frequency) for my Spindle 1.5 kw, 220 v, 8 A, 400 Hz water Cooled spindle. I have same YL620 -A- 1.5kw , 220 v Vfd I am having tough time in setting Vfd. Sir, can you share your Vfd setting. Thank you

@ImpracticalMachinist

P00.00 should be your mains input frequency. That will depend on where you are in the world, in the UK/Europe/Asia it would be 50hz. in the North/South America 60hz.

Hi There, will you please post the page you used for the settings? I have the same vfd but the documentation is terrible. Im really having a tough time with the settings. I figured out "P03.08 = min spindle frequency/Hz" & "P03.09 = max spindle frequency/Hz".

If you have a look at the description you'll find the manuals and setup sheet that I showed, and also the one that i created (the third link) which is clearer and has the settings that I used for my setup, along with some notes explaining what settings do. Let me know how you get on, and if you have any more questions.

@@ImpracticalMachinist If you want I can send you the entire list of settings that I have compiled. It should save you a ton of time. Im running the YL620-A with 220v 1.5kw watercooled motor. She runs very quiet and smooth too with these settings.

12:40 & 13:20 actually 10V - VI1 - GND are for the potentiometer (BTW it's an "i" for _input_ in VI1). A potentiometer would be connected across 10V - GND and the wiper pin would connect to VI1. However, I cannot find any useful documentation of the actual use of the AO (analog out - simulation output) nor of the electrical characteristics (i.e. max current) of the 13V pin. Also XVCC is somewhat obscure as it sources 15V but the docs call it "15V external input". The MO (triode output) is another obscure one I cannot find any useful documentation about.

Quite right about the pot terminals, frustratingly I didn’t notice the mistake while I was putting the video together. This arrangement seems fairly common among vfd’s with this sort of layout, it’s the same on my HY vfd. I’d be really interested to see what the AO actually does too.

hi! thank you for the video it help so much! any I have a problem with the inverter I need your help. The spindle is suddenly stops running and the VFD shows Error 4. I already watch some tutorial and i set up again by doing factory reset. The error 4 disappeared but when i try to rotate the panel potentiometer the frequency shows 10Hz the spindle is not move, until i set 47 Hz the spindle is move. But the rotation is different, it is less noisy but i feel there is something wrong. Do you have any idea? thank you

I suspect this will be your minimum torque settings. You’ll want to have a look at settings P00.09 and P00.10, which are the minimum frequency and voltage respectively. Have a look at the spreadsheet for the default values, and let me know how it goes. This might also be a problem with your potentiometer setting, you’ll need to set the minimum and maximum settings for the potentiometer to match the minimum and maximum output frequency.
