1.1PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
Incorrect handling might cause the equipment to operate improperly, its life to be reduced
considerably, and in the worst case, the high power factor converter and inverter to be
damaged. Please handle the unit properly in accordance with the information on each
section as well as the precautions and instructions of this manual.
FR-HC Function
The FR-HC high power factor converter provides three functions
1) Inverter generated mains harmonics reduction
See the Power harmonic guideline section below.
2) Near unity power factor at 100% load
Gives better efficiency and lower stress on power line components.
3) Regeneration of load to the mains power supply
The FR-HC can con tinuously re generate conver ter rated current t o the power su pply, for example from
a ‘back-driving’ load such as a d own escalator. This gives very efficient full 4-quadrant control of the
AC motor from the inverter without the need for brake resistors or braking units etc.
1.1.1 Japanese harmonic suppression guideline
Harmonic c urrents flow from th e inverter to a power receiv ing point via a p ower transformer. The harmonic
suppression guideline was established to protect other consumers from these outgoing harmonics.
1) “Harmonic suppression guideline for household appliances and general-purpose products”
200V class inver ters of 3.7kW and less are covered by this guideline. Install a power factor improving
reactor to comply with this guideline.
2) “Harmonic suppression guideline for specific consumers”
This guideline sets forth the maximum values of harmonic currents outgoing from a high-voltage or
specially high-voltage con sumer who will install, add or renew harm onic generating equipment. If any
of the maximum values is exceeded, this g uideline requ ires that c onsumer to ta ke cer tain suppre ssion
measures.

1) Calculation of equivalent capacity P0 of harmonic generating equipment
Σ
The “equivalent capacity” is the capacity of a 6-pulse converter converted from the capacity of a
consumer’s harmonic generat ing equip ment and i s calcula ted with the following equation. If the s um of
equivalent capacities is hig her than the limit in Table 3, har monics must be calcul ated in the following
procedure:
P0 = (Ki×Pi) [kVA]
Ki: Conversion factor (refer to Table 2)
Pi: Rated capacity of harmonic
generating equipment* [kVA]
i: Number indicating the conversion
circuit type
* Rated capacity: Determined by the
capacity of the applied motor and found
in Table 5. It should be noted that the
rated capacity used here is used to
calculate generated harmonic amount
and is different from the power supply
capacity require d for actual inverter drive.

• Operation ratio: Operation ratio = actual load factor × operation tim ratio during 30 minutes
• Harmonic content: Found in Table 4.
Table 5 Rated Capacities and Outgoing Harmonic Currents for Inverter Drive
Note:When a motor of 3.7kW or less capaci ty is driven by a transistorized inverter of more than 3.7kW.
For example, when a 3.7kW or less motor is driven by a 5.5kW transistorized inverter, the
transistorized inverter is not the target of the household appliances/general-purpose products
guideline, but because they must be included in the calculation of the har monic current of the
guideline, the fundamental wave input currents are indicated.
Install a reactor (ACL) in the AC side of the inverter or a reactor (DCL) in its DC s ide or
both to suppress harmonic currents.
Designed to switch the converter circuit on-off to convert an input current waveform into
a sine wave, the high power factor converter (FR-HC) suppresses harmonic current
considerably. The FR-HC is used with the standard accessories.
When used with a series reactor, the power factor improving capacitor has an effect of
absorbing harmonic currents.
Use two transformers with a phase angle difference of 30° as in - , - combination to
provide an effect corresponding to 12 pulses, reducing low-degree harmonic currents.
A capacitor and a reactor are used together to reduce impedance at specific
frequencies, producing a great effect of absorbing harmonic currents.
This filter detects the current of a circuit generating a harmonic current and generates a
harmonic current equivalent to a difference between that current and a fundamental
wave current to suppress a harmonic current at a detection point, providing a great
effect of absorbing harmonic currents.

(2) Features of the FR-HC (high power factor converter)
The converter circuit of an inverter generates power harmonics, which may affect a generator, power
capacitor, etc. Power harmonics are different from noises and leakage currents in their sources,
frequency bands and transmission routes. Th erefore, securely connect the high power factor converter
(FR-HC) with the FR series inverter, and refer to the inverter instruction manual on how to set the
parameters. The conversion factor of the high power factor converter is K5=0 for a self-excited, threephase bridge circuit:
Making the above settings suppresses power harmonics to conform to the harmonic suppression
guidelines published by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.

1.3.2 Wiring instructions
During wiring, d o no t l eave wire off-cut s i n t he
high power fact or converter and external bo x.
Wire offcuts will cause a mal func ti on, failure or fault.
The high power factor converter should always be
kept clean.
Wire offcuts, etc.
Use the space on the left-hand side of the main
circuit terminal block to run the control circuit
cable.
Control circuit terminal block
Before starting wiring or inspection, switch
power off, make sure that the converter LED
indicator has gone off, wait for at least 10
minutes after the charge lamp on the printed
circuit board has gone off.
For some short time after power-off, there is a
dangerous voltage in the capacitor. Start work
about 10 minutes after ensuring that the charge
lamp is off.
When the power supply voltage is special for the
high power factor converter (the rated input voltage
is exceeded), change the connection of the jumper
in the internal transformer. (FR-HC-H7.5K H15K,
H30K, H55K)
If the connection is not changed, the 400V class
high power factor converter may be heated,
resulting in fault or burnout.
For the FR-HC-H7.5K, change the connection of
the jumper in the interna l transform er in the externa l
box.

1.3.3 Wiring of the main circuit
• The high power factor converter (FR-HC) is a high-power factor, low-noise inverter option unit designed for
use with the transistorized inverters (FR-HC compatible models) in accordance with the harmonic
suppression guidelines published by Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (formerly Ministry of
International, Trade and Industry). This high power factor converter is used for the suppression of
harmonics to an input power supply.
• To comply with the harmonic suppression guidelines published by the MITI, the system needs to be
configured as indicated and make sure that terminals P and N are sacurely connected to terminals P and N
of the inverter. An incorrect connection will cause th e high power factor converter to display an alar m or to
be faulty or damaged.
• Refer to the inverter instruction manual on how to wire the system to suppress har monics to the input
power supply. Especially note the wiring distance and cable size.
(1) Cable, Crimping terminals etc.
The following table lists the cables and crimping terminals used for each of the devices of the High
power factor converter system and the torques for tightening the screws:
Note: *1.The cable used should be 75°C copper cables.
*2.Use the UL approved round crimping terminals. Crimp the terminals with the crimping tool
recommended by the terminal manufacturer.
*3.Tighten the terminal screws to the specified torques. Undertigtening can cause a short or misoperation.
Overtigtening can cause the screws and unit to be damaged, resulting in a short or misoperation.
*4.This column is for Low Voltage Directive.

Note: When the invert er connected has a capacity less tha n in the application range, the high power
factor converter may be used as a common conver ter or regenerative converter, but its capability
to suppress power harmonics will reduce.
(4) Connection of more than one inverter to the high power factor conve rter
Up to six inverters may be connected to one high power factor converter. (Do not connect seven or more
inverters.) The capacity of the high power factor converter should always be higher than the sum of
those of the inverters connecte d. Also, one inverter connected should have a capacity more than half of
the high power factor converter capacity.
Note: Note that if the sum of the inver ter capacities is less than half of the high power factor converter
capacity, the high power factor converter may be used as a common conver ter or regenerative
converter, but its capability to suppress power harmonics will decrease.
1)For connection of more than one inverter, select the cable size carefully beca use the inverter termin als
P, N will be wired us ing junction ter mina ls or jumpers. Select the cable size so that inverter capacities
are added in order, beginning with the farthest inverter.
2)For connection of more than one inverter, connect them in sequence of larger capacities.

Note: 1.Terminals SD and SE are common to the I/O signals and are isolated from each other. Do not
earth (ground) .
2.Use shielded or twisted cables for connection to the control circuit terminals and run them
away from the main and power circuits (including the 200V relay sequence circuit).
3.Since the control circuit input signals are micro currents, use two parallel micro signal contacts
or a twin contact to prevent a contact fault.
4.Keep the free termina ls ( NC) unc on nected. Otherwise, the high
power factor converter may become faulty.
5.When connecting two crimping terminals to one of the control
circuit terminals, round or square open-ended crimping terminals
of the size as shown on t he r igh t s hou ld be use d b ack to ba ck.
Do not use the free terminals (NC) of the control circuit. Using them will lead to the
failure of the high power factor converter and inverter.
Steep distortion or sinking in power may cause the reactor 2 (FR-HCL02) to generate
unusual noise. This phenomenon occurs due to a power fault and is not attributable to
a damaged high power factor converter (FR-HC).
When the load is light, harmonic suppression effects will decrease.
Be sure to connect terminal RDY of the FR-HC to the X10 or MRS signal assigned
terminal of the inverter, and connect terminal SE of the FR-HC to terminal SD of the
inverter. Without proper connecting, FR-HC will be damaged.
This termi nal is used to connect transistor output (open coll ector output)
such as a pr ogrammable controller (P C). Connecting the external power
supply common for transistor outpu t to the PC terminal prevents a faulty
operation caused by a sneak current.
(The power supply voltage of the PC terminal should be 24VDC.)

2.If the alar m is still displayed on the parameter unit after reme dy, t he internal circuit may be faulty.
Consult your sales representative.
3.For the E.THT error, the electronic overcurrent protection of th e inverter should ac tivate earlier than
that of the high power factor converter. However, the inverter’s electronic overcurrent protection
“E.THT” has the proper ty that it is activated earlie r at a higher carrier freq uency and later at a lower
carrier frequency. Therefore, when the carrier frequency of the inverter is low, the electronic
overcurrent protection of the high power factor converter may be activated earlier.

3.2MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
The high power factor converter is a static unit consis ting mainly of semiconductor
devices. Daily inspection must be performed to pr event any fault from occurring due
to adverse influence by the installati on environment, such as temperature, humidi ty,
dust, dirt and vibration, changes in the parts with time, service life, and other
factors.
3.2.1Precautions for maintenance and inspection
For some shor t time af ter the power is switched off, the smoothi ng capac itor remai ns at a high voltage. Before
accessing the high power factor converter for inspection, make sure that the charge lamp is off and check that
the voltage across th e main circui t termin als P-N of the hig h power factor converter is 30VDC or less using a
tester, etc. (F o r th e lo ca ti on of the cha rg e la mp, see the terminal block ar r a ng em en t on pa g e 60 .)
CAUTION
The reactors 1 and 2 are hot. Take care not to get burnt.

3.2.3Replacement of parts
The high power factor converter consists of many electronic parts such as semiconductor devices.
The following parts may deteriorate with age because of their structures or physical charact eristics, leading
to reduced perfor mance or failure of the high power factor converter. For preventive maintenance, the par ts
must be changed periodically.
See the following table for the high power factor conver ter par ts r eplacement gui de. Lamps and other shor tlife parts must also be changed during periodic inspection.

Description
Note:For part replacement, contact the nearest Mitsubishi FA center.
(1) Cooling fan
The cooling fan cools heat-generating parts su ch as the main circuit semi conductor devices. The life of
the cooling fan bearing is usually 10, 000 to 35,000 hours. Hence, the cooling fan must be changed every
2 to 3 years if the high power factor converter is run continuously. When unusual noise and/or vibration is
noticed during inspection, the coo li ng fan must be changed immediately.
(2) Smoothing capacitors
A large-capacity al uminum el ectroly tic capa citor is used for smoothi ng the DC in the main circui t, and an
aluminum electrolyti c capacitor is also u sed for stabilizing the contr ol power in the control ci rcuit. Their
characteristics are adversely affected by ripple current, etc. When the high power factor converter is
operated in ordinary, air-conditioned environment, change the capacitors about every 5 years.
When 5 years have elapsed, the capacitors will deteriorate more rapidly. Check the capacitors at leas t
every year (less than six months if the life will be expired soon).
Check the following:
1) Case (side faces and bottom face for ex pansion)
2) Sealing plate (for remarkable warp and extreme crack)
3) Explosion-proof valve (for excessive val ve expansion and operation)
4) Appearance, external crack, discoloration, leakage.
When the measured capacitance of the capacitor has reduced below 85% of the rating, change the
capacitor. For capacitance measurement, it is recommended to use a handy device available on the
market.
(3) Relays
To prevent a contact fault, etc., relays must be changed according to the number of accumulative
switching times (switching life).

3.2.4Measurement of main circuit voltages, currents and powers
r
• Measurement of voltages and currents
When instruments for commercial frequency are used for measurement, measure the following circuits
using the following instruments.
• When installing instruments, etc. on the high power factor converter output side
When the wiring distance is long between the high power factor converter and inverter, the instruments
may generate heat due to line leakage currents in especially 400V class. Select the devices which have
large enough current rating.
• There is an output voltage across te rmi nals P-N of th e high power factor converter and thi s voltage can be
measured by a moving-coil instrument (tester). This voltage varies with the power supply voltage and
reduces when load is applied.

4. PRECAUTIONS FOR SELECTION
This chapter provides details on “precautions for selection”
in using this product.
Always read the precautions, etc. before starting use.

4.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR SELECTING PERIPHERAL DEVICES .................. 52
4.1PRECAUTIONS FOR SELECTING PERIPHERAL DEVICES
4.1.1Measures against noises
In this section, noises indicate those of more than 40th to 50th high frequencies in a power distribution
system, which assume generally irregular conditions.
Some noises enter the high power factor converter to adversely affect it and others ar e radiated by the high
power factor converter to adversely affect peripheral devices. Though the high power factor converter is
designed to be im mune to noise s, it handles low-level signals, so it re quires the following bas ic measures to
be taken. Also, since the high p ower factor converter chops ou tput voltage at hi gh carr ier frequency, it could
generate noises. If these noise s affect peripheral devices, measures should be taken to suppress noises.
The measures differ slightly depending on noise propagation paths.
1) Basic measures
• Do not run the power cables (I/O cables) and signal cables of the high power factor converter in parallel with each
other and do not bundle them.
• Use twisted shield cables for the detector connecting and control signal cables and connect the screen of the shield
cables to terminal SD.
• Ground the reactors 1, 2, external box, high power factor converter, inverter, motor, etc. at one point.
2) Measures against noises which enter and affect the high power factor converter
When devices which generate many noises (which use magnetic contactors, magnetic brakes, many relays, for
example) are installed near the high power factor converter and the high power factor converter may be affected by
noises, the following measures must be taken:
• Provide surge suppressors for devices that generate many noises to suppress noises.
• Fit data line filters to signal cables.
• Ground the shields of the detector connection and control signal cables with a metal cable clamp.
3) Measures against noises which are radiated by the high power factor converter to affect peripheral
devices
Noises generated by the high power factor converter are largely classified into those radiated by the cables connected
to the high power factor converter and high power factor converter’s main circuit (I/O), those electromagnetically and
electrostatically inducted to the signal cables of the peripheral devices close to the main circuit power supply, and
those transmitted through the power supply cables.

Noise PathMeasures
When devices which handle low-level signals and are susceptible to noises (such as instruments, receivers
and sensors) are installed near the high power factor converter and their signal cables are contained in the
same panel as the high power factor converter or are ru n near the high power factor converter, the devices
may be affected by air-propagated noises and the following measures must be taken:
(1) Install easily affected devices as far away from the high power factor converter and inverter as possible.
1, 2, 3
(2) Run easily affected signal cables as far away from the high power factor converter and inverter as
possible.
(3) Do not run the signal cables and power cables (high power factor converter I/O cables) in parallel with
each other and do not bundle them.
(4) Insert line noise filters into I/O and radio noise filters into cables input to suppress cable-radiated noises.
(5) Use shield cables for signal cables and power cables and run them in individual metal conduits to
produce further effects.
When the signal cables are run in parallel with or bundled with the power cables, magnetic and static
induction noises may be propagated to the signal cables to affect the devices and the following measures
must be taken:
(1) Install easily affected devices as far away from the high power factor converter and inverter as possible.
4, 5, 6
(2) Run easily affected signal cables as far away from the high power factor converter and inverter as
possible.
(3) Do not run the signal cables and power cables (high power factor converter and inverter I/O cables) in
parallel with each other and do not bundle them.
(4) Use shield cables for signal cables and power cables and run them in individual metal conduits to
produce further effects.
When the power supplies of the peripheral devices are connected to the power supply of the high power factor
converter in the same line, high power factor converter-generated noises may flow back through the power
7
supply cables to the devices and the following measures must be taken:
(1) Install the radio noise filter (FR-BIF) to the power cables (Input cables) of the high power factor converter.
(2) Install the line noise filter (FR-BLF) to the power cables (I/O cables) of the high power factor converter.
When a closed loop circuit is formed by connecting the peripheral device wiring to the high power factor
8
converter, leakage current may flow through the ground cable of the high power factor converter to affect the
device. In such a case, disconnection of the ground cable of the device may cause the device to operate
properly.

will produce more effective noise reduction. Refer to the noise filter manual
for installation procedure of the noise filter.
Note: 1.Select the NFB according to the capa city of the high power factor converter and install on e NFB
per high power factor converter.
2.For installations in the United States or Canada, the circuit breaker must be inverse time or
instantaneous trip type.
3. When the breaker on the primary side of the high power factor converter tripped, check for wiring
fault (e.g.short circuit), damage to internal parts of the inverter (high power factor converter), etc.
Identify the cause of the breaker trip, then power on the breaker after removing the cause of the trip.
4.1.3Selecting the rated sensitivity current for the earth leakage circuit breaker
When using the earth leakage circuit breaker with the inverter circuit, select its rated sensitivity current as follows:

Note: 1.Install the NV on the primar y (power supply) side
of the power return common converter.
2.Ground fault on the o utput side of t he inverter can
be detected at the running frequency of 120Hz or
lower.
3.In the connection neutral point grounded system,
the sensitivity current becomes worse for ground
faults in the inverter secondary side. Hence, the
protective grounding of the load equipment should
be class C grounding (10 Ω or less).
4.When the breaker is installed in the secondary
side of the inverter, it may be unnecessarily
operated by harmonics if the effective value is
less than the rating. In thi s case, do not ins tall the
breaker since the eddy current and hysteresis
loss increase and the temperature rises.

Note: 1.Select the model carefully.
When using inve rt ers wi th the h igh pow er fac tor conv er te r, the sum of all in ver ter ca pacit ies s hou ld
be within the applicable capacity:
Example: Inverter capacities applicable to FR-HC-15KFR-A520-15K
FR-A520-11K+FR-A520-3.5K
2.The 400V class high power factor converters are provided with H in their type codes.
3.The overload current rati ng % value indicates the ratio of the overlo ad current to the converter ’s
rated input current. F or repeated use, it is necessary to wait until the high power fac tor converter
and inverter return to less than the temperature under 100% load.
4.Storage temperature is applicable during a short period, e.g. in transit.
5.When the 400V class converter is used and the power supply voltage fluctuation is outside the
range 342V to 484V, the internal transformer setting must be changed. (Refer to page 24.)

3.The parameter unit need not be used for calibration.
This resistor is used for calibration of a remotely located frequency
meter. Note that the needle of the frequency meter may not deflec t to
fullscale when the calibration resistor is connected. In this case, use
both the resistor and parameter unit to make calibration.
4.The R, S, T terminals of the high power factor converter (FR-HC) must
be connected to the power supply.
Running the inverter without connecting the terminals to the power

• By using this attachment, the heat sink acting as
the heat generator of the high power factor
converter can be placed at the back of the control
box. Since the converter-generated heat can be
dissipated to the outside of the control box, the
control box can be made compact.
• For the mounting state and panel cut dimensions,
see the outline drawing (page 66).
Note: Since the cooling fan exists in the cooling
section placed out of the box, do not use
this attachment in environments subjected
to water drops, oil mist, dust, etc.
