An Intelligent Solution for Every Drive Task
Frequency inverter drives are a key component of Mitsubishi Electric's factory automation systems. More than 30 years on and with over 28 million units sold worldwide, Mitsubishi Electric is still continually contributing innovations to variable-speed drive technology. The latest 64-bit RISC processors, advanced software models and the latest power electronics make today's variable-speed drive solutions from Mitsubishi Electric both powerful and easy to use. Mitsubishi Electric delivers innovative, open, flexible and reliable drive solutions geared to the special needs of individual markets and customers.
Mitsubishi frequency inverters satisfy all the standards and specifications of the European Union 2014/35/EU Low Voltage directive, 2014/30/EU EMC directive and machinery directive 2006/42/EC. All products have a CE certificate based on prior mentioned European Standards, and also UL, cUL, EAC, CCC and several Marine Certifications.
Energy saving and regenerating frequency inverters
Mitsubishi inverters are real energy savers achieving maximum drive capacity utilisation with minimum power consumption. Flux optimisation ensures that the connected motor only gets exactly the amount of magnetic flux required for optimum efficiency. This is particularly important at low speeds as motors are normally using a voltage/frequency control system. SLV Vector Control with Online Auto tuning and automatic slip compensation, V/f control with a fully-programmable characteristic and Mitsubishi Electric's advanced OEC (Optimium Excitation Control) technology all help to make these frequency inverters masters of energy conservation. They can achieve maximum power savings of up to 60% compared to conventional mains operation, thus minimising system operating costs.
The FR-A741’s regenerative braking system makes it much more efficient than conventional drive systems, giving it the potential for significant energy savings. They are particularly well suited for tasks involving frequent cyclical acceleration and deceleration and in all applications where braking resistors are normally used. The combination of the integrated AC reactor and no need for an external braking unit eliminate a large amount of additional wiring. These inverters need up to 60 % less main circuit wiring and occupy up to 40 % less space than conventional solutions, depending on the output capacity.
The FR-F800 frequency inverter drives from Mitsubishi Electric are designed for the special needs of pumps and fans. These inverters can significantly enhance the energy balance of pump and fan applications - particularly in the low-speed range and in low-load operation, where energy savings of up to 60% can be achieved. Additional savings are made possible by Mitsubishi Electric's innovative OEC (Optimum Excitation Control) technology. This system ensures that the optimum magnetic flux is always applied to the motor, thus reducing losses. The result is maximum utilisation of motor capacity at maximum efficiency.
Product range
The series covers a very broad output range from 0.1kW all the way up to 630kW as single system or up to 1500kW in parallel connection, as well as up to 19500 kVA in 3/6/10/11kV.
All frequency inverters feature simple operation and configuration and optimised control and data management facilities. The integrated control terminals, the one-touch digital dial and the multi-language control panel with copy function provide instantly-comprehensible information on current drive status and clear error message displays.
Networked systems are very easy to configure thanks to the support of standard open network bus systems as e.g. Profinet, Ethernet IP, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, CC-Link IE Field Basic and CC-Link IE TSN. Serial RS-422 and RS-485 interfaces and the optional USB port enable multidrop applications with up to 32 stations and connection of the latest PC and process visualisation systems.
