GA500 Branch Circuit Protection Use branch circuit protection to protect against short circuits and to maintain compliance with UL61800-5-1. Yaskawa recommends connecting semiconductor protection fuses on the input side for branch circuit protection. • 240 V model fuse selection: Use the fuses specified in this document or in the drive product instructions to prepare the drive for use on a circuit that supplies not more than 31,000 Amps RMS and not more than 240 Vac when there is a short circuit in the power supply.

5 Main Circuit and Motor Wiring Main Circuit and Motor Wiring Use this section to convert the V1000 main circuit wiring for installation to the GA500. Key wiring differences between the V1000 and GA500 are: • V1000 uses crimp terminals/ring lugs and GA500 accepts bare wire (except for ground terminal).
Page 13
Wire Termination Differences V1000 to GA500 If crimp terminal ends/ring lugs are present on the V1000, they must be removed and the wire stripped to bare wire for installation to the GA500. Refer to the GA500 Installation & Primary Operation Manual No. TOEPC71061752, for more information on wire termination.

Procedure - Manual Transfer of V1000 Parameters to the GA500 using the Keypad An easy way to view which V1000 parameters differ from factory settings is to use the V1000 urFy or verify menu. If no parameters differ from factory settings then the V1000 will display “None”. Record the parameters and their settings in a log so they can be manually entered into the replacement GA500 drive.
Page 32
Some of the setting ranges and default settings for certain parameters differ between V1000 and GA500. Table 15 only lists setting range or default setting differences between similar V1000 and GA500 parameters. Table 15 is not a comprehensive comparison of all parameter differences between V1000 and GA500. For example, GA500 parameters that have no equal in the V1000 are omitted.
