3.3 Location of Installation to be avoided

When installing the compressor in the places shown below, the compressor may inhale mist, gas or
smoke, which will be compounded with moist in the oil and then deteriorate. This may cause clogging
and damage to the oil separator element. If location of the installation site cannot be avoided, lube oil
and oil separator element will be replaced more frequently than regular maintenance. Read the
instruction manual for further details.
3.3.1 Locations to be avoided

★Coolant mist from machining tools. ★ Smoke from the boiler.
★ Gas of decomposing plastic. ★ Effluent steam from food plant.
Caution ★Emission gas from vehicles.
Do not install the compressor in places where it may

inhale coolant mist from the machining tools, gas
from decomposing plastic, effluent steam from food
plant, smoke from the boiler, and emission gas from
vehicles.
Intake of these toxic gases or mist will cause
clogging of the oil separator element. This also may
cause an emergency stop of the compressor.

4 Piping
4.1 Piping installation
 Unsupported long piping may cause vibrations and could cause damages to devices connected with piping.
The piping must be properly supported using hangers, fasteners, columns, etc.
 When more than two units of compressors are installed and their discharge piping is connected to the
same main header, be sure to provide the stop valves before the main header so that they can be closed
when any of compressors stop.
 Incline the main piping toward the discharge air flow to drain through the pipe smoothly.
 Provide drain valve at the bottom of the piping if there is a concave or riser piping.
 To avoid the pressure fluctuating of exhaust pipe, please install the air tank with proper or larger capacity.
 To prevent condensate reverse flow, connect a discharge piping at the top of the main piping.
 When installing riser piping, provide a riser piping at least 600 mm away from the discharge outlet for the
maintenance.

5.6 Harmonics
5.6.1 Harmonic calculation
Inverters generate harmonics, whose voltage and current contained in the power supply system
may cause damages to electrical equipment.
In 1994, The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (present Ministry of Economy, Trade and
Industry) established the harmonic suppression guideline for consumers receiving power of high
voltage or especially high voltage.
Customers, who newly install, add or renew harmonic generation, must make calculations and
submit calculation sheets for outgoing harmonic currents from harmonic generating equipment to
the electric power company based on the current guidelines.
What is harmonics?
A sine wave of a commercial power supply is called a fundamental wave. A sine wave has a
frequency that is an integral multiple of the fundamental wave is called a harmonic wave. The
composition of a single fundamental wave and several harmonics is called a distorted wave.
Fundamental wave current Harmonic wave current Distorted wave current
5.6.2 Prevention of Harmonic noise trouble

Inverter's power supply harmonics may cause malfunctions or obstacles to peripheral devices.
Be sure to pay attention to harmonic noise when installing the inverter.
Precautions for prevention of harmonic noise trouble
1. Separately install the wiring of the main power supply, AC (control circuit signal etc.), and DC
(control circuit signal etc.) respectively, keeping clearance of 30 cm or more.
2. If you cannot install them separately, protect the main power supply wiring by conduits, use
shielded wires or twisted shielded wires for the AC/DC control wiring.
3. Perform appropriate grounding works and ground wiring. Ground the shield wire at single point
and minimize the ground wire length.
Note: The grounding wires also generate noises.
M ost of the noise troubles can be avoided by suppressing the influence of noise and harmonic
levels.
If the above precautions are insufficient in the certain environment, suppression devices (noise
filter, zero phase reactor, etc.) may be required.
Note: AC/DC reactor is installed to this unit to suppress harmonics.

 Keep the oil level between the high limit and the low limit during operation.
 Do not operate beyond the high limit. It will cause oil leaking into the
discharge air and other problems.
Note: when the compressor stops, the oil level will exceed the higher
limit because oil return from the parts to the oil separator. This is a
normal operation.
 Refill oil, when oil level drops below the low limit during operation. We
recommend refilling the oil when the oil level is around the center between
the low limit and the high limit because the oil level could vary depending on
the load condition.
If the oil level rises much higher than the previous operation, stop the
compressor immediately and inspect it after removal of oil.

exhaust outlet on the top side of the
compressor?
② Is the oil level proper?

If the oil level is lower than the low limit
when the compressor stops, refill the oil up
to the high limit,referring to the following
quantity.
The oil, which circulates through the oil High limit

cooler and piping, is proper level between Low limit
high limit and low limit in the oil separator,
when the compressor is operating.
Note: During stop operation, the oil level in the tank is changing because the amount of the return oil flow
back from the oil cooler and other parts will vary due to the running condition before the stop. Make
sure the oil level to be between high limit and lower limit at the compressor startup. Do not overfill, it
may cause poor performance of the oil return and large oil consumption.

7.9 Condensate removal of compressor

Compressor suctions the moisture contained in the air and is condensed into water inside the unit.
The compressed air condensation may cause rust in the unit, damages to the oil separator element and
degradation of the lubricant oil, eventually causing accidents, and damages to the airend.
In order to keep good performance of the compressor, our compressor unit has a basic function of the
condensate removal. It monitors the compressed air condensation and starts purging operation and draining
regularly when the drain volume exceeds the rated volume.
In the condensate removal operation, do not stop it with the emergency stop switch or any other ways. This will
cause failure or damages, because the removal operation isn’t complete and the condensate drain will remain.
To maintain good performance of the compressor, make sure to use KOBELCO water resistant oil filter (Parts No.
1000106735, only for VS22/37A Ⅳ ) and install an air tank that has an appropriate volume, if the compressor unit is
operated under conditions of frequently starting and stopping, or continuous low-load operation, which will cause
the drain to accumulate more.

Test voltage： Criteria for evaluation
DC 500 V or less (at normal temperature) ：
R－FG 500 V DC 10 MΩ or more
S－FG 500 V DC 10 MΩ or more
T－FG 500 V DC 10 MΩ or more
【Insulation test for motor】
Disconnect the power cables (U,V,W) connected to the inverter
panel.
Measure the insulation of terminals for the motor lead wires and the
base plate (FG: frame ground).
【Insulation test for control circuit】
Disconnect the power cables (R,S,T) connected to the inverter panel.
Then remove all the connectors inserted into the controller.
Measure the insulation of terminals on the terminal block of control panel and the base plate
(FG: frame ground).
The insulation test procedures mentioned above conform to the local law about electrical appliance and
material control.
