Toshiba VFAS3-4055PC inverter 5.5 kW 3-phase 380 V (VF-AS3)

VFAS3-4055PC is a Toshiba VF-AS3 inverter – high-performance inverter for heavy loads and precise control. It controls 3-phase induction motors up to 5.5 kW from a 3-phase 380 V (400 V class) supply, with check EMC filter configuration by model.

Toshiba's high-performance range: vector control for high torque and fast response. Ethernet is standard: remote operation and monitoring, operating data logging and a built-in web server (per Toshiba). Keypad with a Setup Wizard and parameter backup/copy to other drives.

Reading the code: VF-AS3 is the range; the digit after the dash is the voltage class (2 = 200 V, 4 = 400 V); the next three digits give the rating (5.5 kW); PL includes an EMC filter, PM does not. Size the drive by the rated current on the 380 V motor nameplate; for heavy starting (loaded conveyors, crushers, compressors) choose one size larger.

VF-AS3 features

• Toshiba's high-performance range: vector control for high torque and fast response.
• Ethernet is standard: remote operation and monitoring, operating data logging and a built-in web server (per Toshiba).
• Keypad with a Setup Wizard and parameter backup/copy to other drives.
• Past-trip history with real-time clock for fault diagnosis.
• Suits cranes, hoists, extruders, rolling machines, compressors and speed-synchronised lines.

Sizing and accessories

• A 5.5 kW drive suits 380 V motors up to 5.5 kW on standard loads; compare the drive rated current with the motor nameplate.
• For heavy starting, frequent reversing or panel temperatures above 40 °C, choose one size larger.
• For fast stops of high-inertia loads (large fans, centrifuges, cranes), fit a braking resistor of the recommended value.
• For long motor cables or several motors on one drive, ask TOVINA about output reactors and settings.
• Protect the input with a correctly rated breaker or fuses; do not switch an output contactor to start/stop the motor.

Installation and wiring

• Connect the supply to R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 and the motor to U/T1, V/T2, W/T3 – never apply mains to U, V, W.
• Earth the drive and motor; route signal cables away from power cables to reduce noise.
• Mount vertically with clearance above and below for cooling; sealed panels need a fan.
• After power-off, wait until the capacitors discharge (charge lamp off) before touching terminals.

Basic setup

• Use the keypad Setup Wizard to enter motor data, command source and frequency source step by step.
• Set acceleration/deceleration, frequency limits and motor overload protection from the motor nameplate.
• Back up parameters to the keypad to copy them to a spare drive.
• Toshiba setup videos are below; TOVINA commissions the drive at handover.

Routine maintenance

• Clean dust from the heat sink and cooling fan; replace noisy or weak fans.
• Re-tighten power terminals after a period of operation; look for signs of overheating.
• Review the trip history to catch overcurrent, overvoltage and overheating early.
• Power up spare drives periodically to keep the capacitors in condition.
