Thank you for choosing this Mitsubishi Inverter.
This Instruction Manual provides instructions for advanced use of the FR-A700 series inverters.
Incorrect handling might cause an unexpected fault. Before using the inverter, always read this Instruction Manual and the Instruction Manual
(basic) [IB-0600225ENG] packed with the product carefully to use the equipment to its optimum.
This section is specifically about safety matters
Do not attempt to install, operate, maintain or inspect the inverter
until you have read through Instruction Manual (Basic) and
appended documents carefully and can use the equipment
correctly. Do not use the inverter until you have a full knowledge
of the equipment, safety information and instructions. In this
Instruction Manual, the safety instruction levels are classified into
"WARNING" and "CAUTION".
WARNING
CAUTION
CAUTION
The level may even lead to a serious consequence
according to conditions. Both instruction levels must be followed
because these are important to personal safety.
1. Electric Shock Prevention
Incorrect handling may cause hazardous
conditions, resulting in death or severe
injury.
Incorrect handling may cause hazardous
conditions, resulting in medium or slight
injury, or may cause only material damage.
WARNING
• While power is ON or when the inverter is running, do not open
the front cover. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
• Do not run the inverter with the front cover or wiring cover
removed.
Otherwise you may access the exposed high-voltage terminals
or the charging part of the circuitry and get an electric shock.
• Even if power is off, do not remove the front cover except for
wiring or periodic inspection. You may accidentally touch the
charged inverter circuits and get an electric shock.
• Before wiring, inspection or switching EMC filter ON/OFF
connector, power must be switched OFF. To confirm that, LED
indication of the operation panel must be checked. (It must be
OFF.) Any person who is involved in wiring, inspection or
switching EMC filter ON/OFF connector shall wait for at least
10 minutes after the power supply has been switched OFF and
check that there are no residual voltage using a tester or the
like. The capacitor is charged with high voltage for some time
after power OFF, and it is dangerous.
• This inverter must be earthed (grounded). Earthing (grounding)
must conform to the requirements of national and local safety
regulations and electrical code (NEC section 250, IEC 536
class 1 and other applicable standards).
A neutral-point earthed (grounded) power supply for 400V
class inverter in compliance with EN standard must be used.
• Any person who is involved in wiring or inspection of this
equipment shall be fully competent to do the work.
• The inverter must be installed before wiring. Otherwise you
may get an electric shock or be injured.
• Setting dial and key operations must be performed with dry
hands to prevent an electric shock. Otherwise you may get an
electric shock.
• Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress,
heavy loads or pinching. Otherwise you may get an electric
shock.
• Do not replace the cooling fan while power is on. It is
dangerous to replace the cooling fan while power is on.
• Do not touch the printed circuit board or handle the cables with
wet hands. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
• When measuring the main circuit capacitor capacity (Pr. 259
Main circuit capacitor life measuring = "1"), the DC voltage is
applied to the motor for 1s at powering off. Never touch the
motor terminal, etc. right after powering off to prevent an
electric shock.
2. Fire Prevention
CAUTION
• Inverter must be installed on a nonflammable wall without
holes (so that nobody touches the inverter heatsink on the rear
side, etc.). Mounting it to or near flammable material can cause
a fire.
• If the inverter has become faulty, the inverter power must be
switched OFF. A continuous flow of large current could cause a
fire.
• When using a brake resistor, a sequence that will turn OFF
power when a fault signal is output must be configured.
Otherwise the brake resistor may overheat due to damage of
the brake transistor and possibly cause a fire.
• Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals P/+ and
N/-. Doing so could cause a fire.
3. Injury Prevention
CAUTION
• The voltage applied to each terminal must be the ones
specified in the Instruction Manual. Otherwise burst, damage,
etc. may occur.
• The cables must be connected to the correct terminals.
Otherwise burst, damage, etc. may occur.
• Polarity must be correct. Otherwise burst, damage, etc. may
occur.
• While power is ON or for some time after power-OFF, do not
touch the inverter since the inverter will be extremely hot.
Doing so can cause burns.
4. Additional Instructions
Also the following points must be noted to prevent an accidental failure, injury,
electric shock, etc.
(1) Transportation and installation
CAUTION
• The product must be transported in correct method that
corresponds to the weight. Failure to do so may lead to injuries.
• Do not stack the boxes containing inverters higher than the
number recommended.
• The product must be installed to the position where withstands
the weight of the product according to the information in the
Instruction Manual.
• Do not install or operate the inverter if it is damaged or has
parts missing. This can result in breakdowns.
• When carrying the inverter, do not hold it by the front cover or
setting dial; it may fall off or fail.
• Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the product.
• The inverter mounting orientation must be correct.
• Foreign conductive objects must be prevented from entering
the inverter. That includes screws and metal fragments or
other flammable substance such as oil.
• As the inverter is a precision instrument, do not drop or subject
it to impact.
• The inverter must be used under the following environment:
Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.

(2) Wiring
• Do not install a power factor correction capacitor, surge
suppressor or radio noise filter on the inverter output side.
These devices on the inverter output side may be overheated
or burn out.
• The connection orientation of the output cables U, V, W to the
motor affects the rotation direction of the motor.
(3) Test operation and adjustment
CAUTION
CAUTION
• Before starting operation, each parameter must be confirmed
and adjusted. A failure to do so may cause some machines to
make unexpected motions.
(4) Operation
• Any person must stay away from the equipment when the retry
function is set as it will restart suddenly after trip.
• Since pressing key may not stop output depending on
the function setting status, separate circuit and switch that
make an emergency stop (power OFF, mechanical brake
operation for emergency stop, etc.) must be provided.
• OFF status of the start signal must be confirmed before
resetting the inverter fault. Resetting inverter alarm with the
start signal ON restarts the motor suddenly.
• The inverter must be used for three-phase induction motors.
Connection of any other electrical equipment to the inverter
output may damage the equipment.
• Performing pre-excitation (LX signal and X13 signal) under
torque control (Real sensorless vector control) may start the
motor running at a low speed even when the start command
(STF or STR) is not input. The motor may also run at a low
speed when the speed limit value = 0 with a start command
input. It must be confirmed that the motor running will not
cause any safety problem before performing pre-excitation.
• Do not modify the equipment.
• Do not perform parts removal which is not instructed in this
manual. Doing so may lead to fault or damage of the inverter.
WARNING
CAUTION
• The electronic thermal relay function does not guarantee
protection of the motor from overheating. It is recommended to
install both an external thermal and PTC thermistor for
overheat protection.
• Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter input for
frequent starting/stopping of the inverter. Otherwise the life of
the inverter decreases.
• The effect of electromagnetic interference must be reduced by
using a noise filter or by other means. Otherwise nearby
electronic equipment may be affected.
• Appropriate measures must be taken to suppress harmonics.
Otherwise power supply harmonics from the inverter may heat/
damage the power factor correction capacitor and generator.
• When driving a 400V class motor by the inverter, the motor
must be an insulation-enhanced motor or measures must be
taken to suppress surge voltage. Surge voltage attributable to
the wiring constants may occur at the motor terminals,
deteriorating the insulation of the motor.
• When parameter clear or all parameter clear is performed, the
required parameters must be set again before starting
operations because all parameters return to the initial value.
• The inverter can be easily set for high-speed operation. Before
changing its setting, the performances of the motor and
machine must be fully examined.
• Stop status cannot be hold by the inverter's brake function. In
addition to the inverter's brake function, a holding device must
be installed to ensure safety.
• Before running an inverter which had been stored for a long
period, inspection and test operation must be performed.
• For prevention of damage due to static electricity, nearby metal
must be touched before touching this product to eliminate
static electricity from your body.
(5) Emergency stop
• A safety backup such as an emergency brake must be
provided to prevent hazardous condition to the machine and
equipment in case of inverter failure.
• When the breaker on the inverter input side trips, the wiring
must be checked for fault (short circuit), and internal parts of
the inverter for a damage, etc. The cause of the trip must be
identified and removed before turning ON the power of the
breaker.
• When any protective function is activated, appropriate
corrective action must be taken, and the inverter must be reset
before resuming operation.
CAUTION
A-2
(6) Maintenance, inspection and parts replacement
CAUTION
• Do not carry out a megger (insulation resistance) test on the
control circuit of the inverter. It will cause a failure.
(7) Disposing of the inverter
CAUTION
• The inverter must be treated as industrial waste.

Installation of the inverter and enclosure
design
1.4Installation of the inverter and enclosure design
When an inverter enclosure is to be designed and manufactured, heat generated by contained equipment, etc., the
environment of an operating place, and others must be fully considered to determine the enclosure structure, size and
equipment layout. The inverter unit uses many semiconductor devices. To ensure higher reliability and long period of
operation, operate the inverter in the ambient environment that completely satisfies the equipment specifications.
1.4.1Inverter installation environment
As the inverter installation environment should satisfy the standard specifications indicated in the following table,
operation in any place that does not meet these conditions not only deteriorates the performance and life of the
inverter, but also causes a failure. Refer to the following points and take adequate measures.

(1) Temperature
The permissible surrounding air temperature of the inverter is between -10°C and +50°C. Always operate the inverter
within this temperature range. Operation outside this range will considerably shorten the service lives of the
semiconductors, parts, capacitors and others. Take the following measures so that the surrounding air temperature of
the inverter falls within the specified range.
1) Measures against high temperature
• Use a forced ventilation system or similar cooling system. (Refer to page 10.)
• Install the enclosure in an air-conditioned electrical chamber.
• Block direct sunlight.
• Provide a shield or similar plate to avoid direct exposure to the radiated heat and wind of a heat source.
• Ventilate the area around the enclosure well.
2) Measures against low temperature
• Provide a space heater in the enclosure.
• Do not power OFF the inverter. (Keep the start signal of the inverter OFF.)
3) Sudden temperature changes
• Select an installation place where temperature does not change suddenly.
• Avoid installing the inverter near the air outlet of an air conditioner.
• If temperature changes are caused by opening/closing of a door, install the inverter away from the door.
(2) Humidity
Normally operate the inverter within the 45 to 90% range of the ambient humidity. Too high humidity will pose problems
of reduced insulation and metal corrosion. On the other hand, too low humidity may produce a spatial electrical
breakdown. The insulation distance specified in JEM1103 "Control Equipment Insulator" is defined as humidity 45 to
85%.
1) Measures against high humidity
• Make the enclosure enclosed, and provide it with a hygroscopic agent.
• Take dry air into the enclosure from outside.
• Provide a space heater in the enclosure.
2) Measures against low humidity
What is important in fitting or inspection of the unit in this status is to discharge your body (static electricity)
beforehand and keep your body from contact with the parts and patterns, besides blowing air of proper humidity into
the enclosure from outside.
3) Measures against condensation
Condensation may occur if frequent operation stops change the in-enclosure temperature suddenly or if the outsideair temperature changes suddenly.
Condensation causes such faults as reduced insulation and corrosion.
• Take the measures against high humidity in 1).
• Do not power OFF the inverter. (Keep the start signal of the inverter OFF.)
8
Installation of the inverter and enclosure
design
(3) Dust, dirt, oil mist
Dust and dirt will cause such faults as poor contact of contact points, reduced insulation or reduced cooling effect due
to moisture absorption of accumulated dust and dirt, and in-enclosure temperature rise due to clogged filter.
In the atmosphere where conductive powder floats, dust and dirt will cause such faults as malfunction, deteriorated
insulation and short circuit in a short time.
Since oil mist will cause similar conditions, it is necessary to take adequate measures.
Countermeasures
• Place in a totally enclosed enclosure.
Take measures if the in-enclosure temperature rises. (Refer to page 10.)
• Purge air.
Pump clean air from outside to make the in-enclosure pressure higher than the outside-air pressure.
(4) Corrosive gas, salt damage
If the inverter is exposed to corrosive gas or to salt near a beach, the printed board patterns and parts will corrode or
the relays and switches will result in poor contact.
In such places, take the measures given in Section (3).
(5) Explosive, flammable gases
As the inverter is non-explosion proof, it must be contained in an explosion proof enclosure.
In places where explosion may be caused by explosive gas, dust or dirt, an enclosure cannot be used unless it
structurally complies with the guidelines and has passed the specified tests. This makes the enclosure itself expensive
(including the test charges).
The best way is to avoid installation in such places and install the inverter in a non-hazardous place.
(6) Highland
Use the inverter at the altitude of within 1000m.
If it is used at a higher place, it is likely that thin air will reduce the cooling effect and low air pressure will deteriorate
dielectric strength.
(7) Vibration, impact
The vibration resistance of the inverter is up to 5.9m/s2 (2.9m/s2 for the 160K or higher) at 10 to 55Hz frequency and
1mm amplitude for the directions of X, Y, Z axes.
Vibration or impact, if less than the specified value, applied for a long time may make the mechanism loose or cause
poor contact to the connectors.
Especially when impact is imposed repeatedly, caution must be taken as the part pins are likely to break.
Countermeasures
• Provide the enclosure with rubber vibration isolators.
• Strengthen the structure to prevent the enclosure from resonance.
• Install the enclosure away from sources of vibration.

1.4.2Cooling system types for inverter enclosure
From the enclosure that contains the inverter, the heat of the inverter and other equipment (transformers, lamps,
resistors, etc.) and the incoming heat such as direct sunlight must be dissipated to keep the in-enclosure temperature
lower than the permissible temperatures of the in-enclosure equipment including the inverter.
The cooling systems are classified as follows in terms of the cooling calculation method.
1) Cooling by natural heat dissipation from the enclosure surface (Totally enclosed type)
2) Cooling by heat sink (Aluminum fin, etc.)
3) Cooling by ventilation (Forced ventilation type, pipe ventilation type)
4) Cooling by heat exchanger or cooler (Heat pipe, cooler, etc.)

REMARKS
For replacing the cooling fan of the 160K or higher, 30cm of space is necessary in front of the inverter. Refer to page 431 for fan
replacement.
(3) Inverter mounting orientation
Mount the inverter on a wall as specified. Do not mount it horizontally or any other way.
(4) Above the inverter
Heat is blown up from inside the inverter by the small fan built in the unit. Any equipment placed above the inverter
should be heat resistant.
1
(5) Arrangement of multiple inverters
When multiple inverters are placed in the same
enclosure, generally arrange them horizontally as
shown in the right figure (a). When it is inevitable to
arrange them vertically to minimize space, take such
Inverter
measures as to provide guides since heat from the
bottom inverters can increase the temperatures in the
top inverters, causing inverter failures.
When mounting multiple inverters, fully take caution
not to make the surrounding air temperature of the
inverter higher than the permissible value by providing
ventilation and increasing the enclosure size.
(a) Horizontal arrangement
(6) Placement of ventilation fan and inverter
Heat generated in the inverter is blown up from the bottom of
the unit as warm air by the cooling fan. When installing a
ventilation fan for that heat, determine the place of ventilation
fan installation after fully considering an air flow. (Air passes
through areas of low resistance. Make an airway and airflow
plates to expose the inverter to cool air.)

2.1.2EMC filter
This inverter is equipped with a built-in EMC filter (capacitive filter) and common mode choke.
Effective for reduction of air-propagated noise on the input side of the inverter.
The EMC filter is factory-set to disable (OFF).
To enable it, fit the EMC filter ON/OFF connector to the ON position.
The input side common mode choke, built-in the 55K or lower inverter, is always valid regardless of on/off of the EMC
filter on/off connector.
The FR-A720-0.4K and 0.75K are not provided with the EMC filter ON/OFF connector. (The EMC filter is always valid.)
<How to disconnect the connector>
(1) Before removing a front cover, check to make sure that the indication of the inverter operation panel is OFF, wait
for at least 10 minutes after the power supply has been switched OFF, and check that there are no residual voltage
using a tester or the like. (Refer to page 6.)
(2) When disconnecting the connector, push the fixing tab and pull the connector straight without pulling the cable or
forcibly pulling the connector with the tab fixed. When installing the connector, also engage the fixing tab securely.
(If it is difficult to disconnect the connector, use a pair of long-nose pliers, etc.)
⋅ Fit the connector to either ON or OFF.
⋅ Enabling (turning on) the EMC filter increases leakage current. (Refer to page 53)
WARNING
While power is ON or when the inverter is running, do not open the front cover. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.

(2) Notes on earthing (grounding)
Always earth (ground) the motor and inverter.
1)Purpose of earthing (grounding)
Generally, an electrical apparatus has an earth (ground) terminal, which must be connected to the ground before
use.
An electrical circuit is usually insulated by a insulating material and encased. However, it is impossible to
manufacture an insulating material that can shut off a leakage current completely, and actually, a slight current flow
into the case. The purpose of earthing (grounding) the case of an electrical apparatus is to prevent operator from
getting an electric shock from this leakage current when touching it.
To avoid the influence of external noises, this earthing (grounding) is important to audio equipment, sensors,
computers and other apparatuses that handle low-level signals or operate very fast.
2)Earthing (grounding) methods and earthing (grounding) work
As described previously, earthing (grounding) is roughly classified into an electrical shock prevention type and a
noise-affected malfunction prevention type. Therefore, these two types should be discriminated clearly, and the
following work must be done to prevent the leakage current having the inverter's high frequency components from
entering the malfunction prevention type earthing (grounding):
(a) If possible, use (l) independent earthing (grounding) in figure below for the inverter. If independent earthing
(grounding) is not available, use (ll) common earthing (grounding) in the figure below where the inverter is
connected with the other equipment at an earthing (grounding) point.
The (lll) common earthing (grounding) as in the figure below, which inverter shares a common earth (ground)
cable with the other equipment, must be avoided.
A leakage current including many high frequency components flows in the earth (ground) cables of the
inverter and inverter-driven motor. Therefore, use the independent earthing (grounding) and separate the
earthing (grounding) cable of the inverter from equipment sensitive to EMI.
In a high building, it may be effective to use the EMI prevention type earthing (grounding) connecting to an
iron structure frame, and electric shock prevention type earthing (grounding) with the independent earthing
(grounding) together.
(b) This inverter must be earthed (grounded). Earthing (Grounding) must conform to the requirements of national
and local safety regulations and electrical codes. (NEC section 250, IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable
standards).
Use an neutral-point earthed (grounded) power supply for 400V class inverter in compliance with EN
standard.
(c) Use the thickest possible earth (ground) cable. The earth
indicated in the table on the previous page.
(d) The earthing (grounding) point should be as close as possible to the inverter, and the earth (ground) wire
length should be as short as possible.
(e) Run the earth (ground) cable as far away as possible from the I/O wiring of equipment sensitive to noises and
run them in parallel in the minimum distance.
(ground) cable size should be no less than the size

When driving a 400V class motor by the inverter, surge voltages attributable to the wiring constants may occur at the
motor terminals, deteriorating the insulation of the motor.
Refer to page 62 for measures against deteriorated insulation.
CAUTION
· Especially for long-distance wiring, the inverter may be affected by a charging current caused by the stray capacitances of the
wiring, leading to a malfunction of the overcurrent protective function or fast response current limit function or a malfunction or fault
of the equipment connected on the inverter output side. If fast response current limit function malfunctions, disable this function.

communication cable, a user program can run and
monitor the inverter or read and write to parameters.
For the Mitsubishi inverter protocol (computer link
operation), communication can be performed with the
PU connector and RS-485 terminal.
For the Modbus-RTU protocol, communication can be
performed with the RS-485 terminal.

* As the terminal block of the FR-A7AP is an insertion type, earth cables need to be modified. (See below)
• When using the dedicated encoder cable (FR-JCBL, FR-V5CBL, etc.) for the conventional motor, cut the crimpling
terminal of the encoder cable and strip its sheath to make its cables loose.
Also, protect the shielded cable of the shielded twisted pair cable to ensure that it will not make contact with the
conductive area.
Wire the stripped cable after twisting it to prevent it from becoming loose. In addition, do not solder it.

• Use shielded twisted pair cables (0.2mm
and position detector. Cables to terminals PG and SD should be connected in
parallel or be larger in size according to the cable length.
To protect the cables from noise, run them away from any source of noise (e.g.
the main circuit and power supply voltage).
Wiring LengthParallel ConnectionLarger-Size Cable
Within 10mAt least two cables in parallel
Within 20mAt least four cables in parallel
Within 100m *At least six cables in parallel
*When differential line driver is set and a wiring length is 30m or more
The wiring length can be extended to 100m by slightly increasing the power by 5V (approx. 5.5V)
using six or more cables with gauge size of 0.2mm
or more. Note that the voltage applied should be within power supply specifications of encoder.
• To reduce noise of the encoder cable, earth (ground) the encoder
shielded cable to the enclosure (as close as possible to the inverter)
with a P-clip or U-clip made of metal.
REMARKS
· For details of the optional encoder dedicated cable (FR-JCBL/FR-V7CBL), refer to page 35.
· The FR-V7CBL is provided with a P clip for earthing (grounding) shielded cable.

Connection of stand-alone option units
2.5Connection of stand-alone option units
The inverter accepts a variety of stand-alone option units as required.
Incorrect connection will cause inverter damage or accident. Connect and operate the option unit carefully in
accordance with the corresponding option unit manual.
2.5.1Connection of the dedicated external brake resistor (FR-ABR)
The built-in brake resistor is connected across terminals P/+ and PR. Fit the external dedicated brake resistor (FRABR) when the built-in brake resistor does not have enough thermal capability for high-duty operation (22K or lower).
At this time, remove the jumper from across terminals PR and PX (7.5K or lower)
resistor (FR-ABR) across terminals P/+ and PR.
(For the locations of terminal P/+ and PR, refer to the terminal block layout (page 16).)
Removing jumpers across terminals PR and PX disables the built-in brake resistor (power is not supplied).
Note that the built-in brake resistor is not need to be removed from the inverter.
The lead wire of the built-in brake resistor is not need to be removed from the terminal.
Set parameters below.

EMC and leakage currents
3.1EMC and leakage currents
3.1.1Leakage currents and countermeasures
Capacitances exist between the inverter I/O cables, other cables and earth and in the motor, through which a leakage
current flows. Since its value depends on the static capacitances, carrier frequency, etc., low acoustic noise operation
at the increased carrier frequency of the inverter will increase the leakage current. Therefore, take the following
measures. Select the earth leakage circuit breaker according to its rated sensitivity current, independently of the carrier
frequency setting.
(1) To-earth (ground) leakage currents
Leakage currents may flow not only into the inverter's own line but also into the other lines through the earth (ground)
cable, etc. These leakage currents may operate earth (ground) leakage circuit breakers and earth leakage relays
unnecessarily.
Suppression technique
⋅ If the carrier frequency setting is high, decrease the Pr. 72 PWM frequency selection setting. Note that motor noise
increases.Selecting Pr. 240 Soft-PWM operation selection makes the sound inoffensive.
⋅ By using earth leakage circuit breakers designed for harmonic and surge suppression in the inverter's own line and
other line, operation can be performed with the carrier frequency kept high (with low noise).
To-earth (ground) leakage currents
⋅ Take caution as long wiring will increase the leakage current. Decreasing the carrier frequency of the inverter
reduces the leakage current.
⋅ Increasing the motor capacity increases the leakage current. The leakage current of the 400V class is larger than
that of the 200V class.
(2) Line-to-line leakage currents
Harmonics of leakage currents flowing in static capacitances between the inverter output cables may operate the
external thermal relay unnecessarily. When the wiring length is long (50m or more) for the 400V class small-capacity
model (7.5K or lower), the external thermal relay is likely to operate unnecessarily because the ratio of the leakage
current to the rated motor current increases.

Measures
⋅ Use Pr. 9 Electronic thermal O/L relay.
⋅ If the carrier frequency setting is high, decrease the Pr. 72 PWM frequency selection setting. Note that motor noise
increases. Selecting Pr. 240 Soft-PWM operation selection makes the sound inoffensive. To ensure that the motor is
protected against line-to-line leakage currents, it is recommended to use a temperature sensor to directly detect
motor temperature.
Installation and selection of moulded case circuit breaker
Install a moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB) on the power receiving side to protect the wiring of the inverter input
side. Select the MCCB according to the inverter input side power factor (which depends on the power supply voltage,
output frequency and load). Especially for a completely electromagnetic MCCB, one of a slightly large capacity must
be selected since its operation characteristic varies with harmonic currents. (Check it in the data of the corresponding
breaker.) As an earth (ground) leakage circuit breaker, use the Mitsubishi earth (ground) leakage breaker designed
for harmonics and surge suppression.

*For the FR-A720-0.4K and 0.75K, the EMC filter is always valid.
The leakage current is 1mA.
CAUTION
⋅ Install the earth leakage breaker (ELB) on the input side of the inverter.
⋅ In the connection earthed-neutral system, the sensitivity current is blunt against an earth (ground) fault in the inverter output
side. Earthing (Grounding) must conform to the requirements of national and local safety regulations and electrical codes. (NEC
section 250, IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable standards)
⋅ When the breaker is installed on the output side of the inverter, it may be unnecessarily operated by harmonics even if the
effective value is less than the rating. In this case, do not install the breaker since the eddy current and hysteresis loss will
increase, leading to temperature rise.
⋅ The following models are standard breakers....BV-C1, BC-V, NVB, NV-L, NV-G2N, NV-G3NA and NV-2F earth leakage relay
(except NV-ZHA), NV with AA neutral wire open-phase protection

Some electromagnetic noises enter the inverter to malfunction it and others are radiated by the inverter to malfunction
peripheral devices. Though the inverter is designed to have high immunity performance, it handles low-level signals, so
it requires the following basic techniques. Also, since the inverter chops outputs at high carrier frequency, that could
generate electromagnetic noises. If these electromagnetic noises cause peripheral devices to malfunction, EMI
measures should be taken to suppress noises. These techniques differ slightly depending on EMI paths.
1) Basic techniques
⋅ Do not run the power cables (I/O cables) and signal cables of the inverter in parallel with each other and do not
bundle them.
⋅ Use shielded twisted pair cables for the detector connection and control signal cables, and connect the sheathes
of the shield cables to terminal SD.
⋅ Earth (Ground) the inverter, motor, etc. at one point.
2) Techniques to reduce electromagnetic noises that enter and malfunction the inverter (Immunity measures)
When devices that generate many electromagnetic noises (which use magnetic contactors, magnetic brakes, many
relays, for example) are installed near the inverter and the inverter may be malfunctioned by electromagnetic noises,
the following measures must be taken:
⋅ Provide surge suppressors for devices that generate many electromagnetic noises to suppress electromagnetic
noises.
⋅ Fit data line filters (page 55) to signal cables.
⋅ Earth (Ground) the shields of the detector connection and control signal cables with cable clamp metal.
3) Techniques to reduce
electromagnetic noises that are radiated by the inverter to malfunction peripheral devices (EMI
measures)
Inverter-generated noises are largely classified into those radiated by the cables connected to the inverter and
inverter main circuits (I/O), those electromagnetically and electrostatically induced to the signal cables of the
peripheral devices close to the main circuit power supply, and those transmitted through the power supply cables.

Measures
When devices that handle low-level signals and are liable to malfunction due to electromagnetic noises,
e.g. instruments, receivers and sensors, are contained in the enclosure that contains the inverter or when
their signal cables are run near the inverter, the devices may be malfunctioned by air-propagated
electromagnetic noises. The following measures must be taken:
(1) Install easily affected devices as far away as possible from the inverter.
(2) Run easily affected signal cables as far away as possible from the inverter and its I/O cables.
(3) Do not run the signal cables and power cables (inverter I/O cables) in parallel with each other and do
not bundle them.
(4) Set the EMC filter ON/OFF connector of the inverter to the ON position. (Refer to page 15)
(5) Inserting a line noise filter into the output suppresses the radiation noise from the cables.
(6) Use shield cables as 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 malfunction the devices and the following
measures must be taken:
(1) Install easily affected devices as far away as possible from the inverter.
(2) Run easily affected signal cables as far away as possible from the I/O cables of the inverter.
(3) Do not run the signal cables and power cables (inverter I/O cables) in parallel with each other and do
not bundle them.
(4) Use shield cables as 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 inverter in
the same line, inverter-generated noises may flow back through the power supply cables to malfunction
the devices and the following measures must be taken:
(1) Set the EMC filter ON/OFF connector of the inverter to the ON position. (Refer to page 15)
(2) Install the line noise filter (FR-BLF, FR-BSF01) to the power cables (output cables) of the inverter.
When a closed loop circuit is formed by connecting the peripheral device wiring to the inverter, leakage
currents may flow through the earth (ground) cable of the inverter to malfunction the device. In such a
case, disconnection of the earth (ground) cable of the device may cause the device to operate properly.

3.1.3Power supply harmonics
The inverter may generate power supply harmonics from its converter circuit to affect the power generator, power
capacitor etc. Power supply harmonics are different from noise and leakage currents in source, frequency band and
transmission path. Take the following countermeasure suppression techniques.
The differences between harmonics and noises are indicated below:
ItemHarmonicsNoise
Frequency
EnvironmentTo-electric channel, power impedanceTo-space, distance, wiring path
The harmonic current generated from the inverter
to the input side differs according to various
conditions such as the wiring impedance, whether
a reactor is used or not, and output frequency and
output current on the load side.
For the output frequency and output current, we
understand that they should be calculated in the
conditions under the rated load at the maximum
operating frequency.

protection, do not provide a capacitor and surge suppressor on the inverter output side when the motor is driven by the inverter.
For power factor improvement, install a reactor on the inverter input side or in the DC circuit.

3.1.4Harmonic Suppression Guidelines
Harmonic currents flow from the inverter to a power receiving point via a power transformer. The Harmonic
Suppression Guidelines were established to protect other consumers from these outgoing harmonic currents.
The three-phase 200V input specifications 3.7kW or less are previously covered by "Harmonic Suppression Guidelines
for Household Appliances and General-purpose Products" and other models are covered by "Harmonic Suppression
Guidelines for Consumers Who Receive High Voltage or Special High Voltage". However, the general-purpose inverter
has been excluded from the target products covered by "Harmonic Suppression Guidelines for Household Appliances
and General-purpose Products" in January 2004. Later, this guideline was repealed on 6 September 2004. All
capacities of all models are now target products of "Harmonic Suppression Guidelines for Consumers Who Receive
High Voltage or Special High Voltage" (hereinafter referred to as "Specific Consumer Guidelines").
"Specific Consumer Guidelines"
This guideline sets forth the maximum values of harmonic currents outgoing from a high-voltage or especially highvoltage consumer who will install, add or renew harmonic generating equipment. If any of the maximum values is
exceeded, this guideline requires that consumer to take certain suppression measures.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF THE INVERTER
EMC and leakage currents
1) Calculation of equivalent capacity P0 of harmonic generating equipment
The "equivalent capacity" is the capacity of a 6-pulse converter converted from the capacity of consumer's harmonic
generating equipment and is calculated with the following equation. If the sum of equivalent capacities is higher than
the limit in Table 3, harmonics must be calculated with the following procedure:
P0 =
Σ (Ki × Pi) [kVA]
Ki: Conversion factor(According to Table 2)
Pi: Rated capacity of harmonic generating equipment
* [kVA]
i : Number indicating the conversion circuit type
2) Calculation of outgoing harmonic current
Outgoing harmonic current = fundamental wave current (value converted from received power voltage)
ratio × harmonic content
⋅Operation ratio: Operation ratio = actual load factor × operation time ratio during 30 minutes
⋅Harmonic content: Found in Table 4.
Table 5 Rated capacities and outgoing harmonic currents of inverter-driven motors
* 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 required for actual inverter drive.

Install an AC reactor (FR-HAL) on the AC side of the inverter or a DC reactor (FR-HEL) on
its DC side or both to suppress outgoing harmonic currents.
This converter trims the current waveform to be a sine waveform by switching in the rectifier
circuit (converter module) with transistors. Doing so suppresses the generated harmonic
amount significantly. Connect it to the DC area of an inverter. The high power factor
converter (FR-HC, MT-HC) is used with the standard accessory.
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 impedances 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.

Power-off and magnetic contactor (MC)
3.3Power-off and magnetic contactor (MC)
(1) Inverter input side magnetic contactor (MC)
On the inverter input side, it is recommended to provide an MC for the following purposes.
(Refer to page 4 for selection.)
1)To release the inverter from the power supply when a fault occurs or when the drive is not functioning (e.g.
emergency stop operation). For example, MC avoids overheat or burnout of the brake resistor when heat capacity of
the resistor is insufficient or brake regenerative transistor is damaged with short while connecting an optional brake
resistor.
To prevent any accident due to an automatic restart at restoration of power after an inverter stop made by a power failure
2)
3)To separate the inverter from the power supply to ensure safe maintenance and inspection work
If using an MC for emergency stop during operation, select an MC regarding the inverter input side current as
JEM1038-AC-3 class rated current.
REMARKS
Since repeated inrush currents at power ON will shorten the life of the converter circuit (switching life is about 1,000,000 times.
(For the 200V class 30K or higher, switching life is about 500,000)), frequent starts and stops of the MC must be avoided. Turn on/
off the inverter start controlling terminals (STF, STR) to run/stop the inverter.
• Inverter start/stop circuit example
As shown on the left, always use the start signal (ON or
OFF of STF (STR) signal) to make a start or stop. (Refer
to page 236)
*1 When the power supply is 400V class, install a step-down
transformer.
*2 Connect the power supply terminals R1/L11, S1/L21 of the
control circuit to the primary side of the MC to hold an
alarm signal when the inverter's protective circuit is
activated. At this time, remove jumpers across terminals R/
L1 and R1/L11 and S/L2 and S1/L21. (Refer to page 23 for
removal of the jumper.)

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF THE INVERTER
Inverter-driven 400V class motor
3.4Inverter-driven 400V class motor
In the PWM type inverter, a surge voltage attributable to wiring constants is generated at the motor terminals.
Especially for a 400V class motor, the surge voltage may deteriorate the insulation. When the 400V class motor is
driven by the inverter, consider the following measures:
Measures
z
It is recommended to take either of the following measures:
(1) Rectifying the motor insulation and limiting the PWM carrier frequency according to the wiring length
For the 400V class motor, use an insulation-enhanced motor
Specifically,
1)Specify the "400V class inverter-driven insulation-enhanced motor".
2)For the dedicated motor such as the constant-torque motor and low-vibration motor, use the "inverter-driven,
dedicated motor".
3)Set Pr. 72 PWM frequency selection as indicated below according to the wiring length
50m or less50m to 100m exceeding 100m
Pr. 72 PWM frequency selection15 (14.5kHz) or less9 (9kHz) or less4 (4kHz) or less
(2) Suppressing the surge voltage on the inverter side
Connect the surge voltage suppression filter (FR-ASF-H/FR-BMF-H) to the 55K or lower and the sine wave filter
(MT-BSL/BSC) to the 75K or higher on the inverter output side.
.
Wiring Length
CAUTION
· For details of Pr. 72 PWM frequency selection , refer to page 284. (When using an option sine wave filter (MT-BSL/BSC) for the 75K
or higher, set "25" (2.5kHz) in Pr. 72. )
· For explanation of surge voltage suppression filter (FR-ASF-H/FR-BMF-H) and sine wave filter (MT-BSL/BSC), refer to the
manual of each option.
· The surge voltage suppression filter (FR-ASF-H/FR-BMF-H) can be used under V/F control and Advanced magnetic flux vector

Precautions for use of the inverter
3.5Precautions for use of the inverter
The FR-A700 series is a highly reliable product, but using incorrect peripheral circuits or incorrect operation/handling
methods may shorten the product life or damage the product.
Before starting operation, always recheck the following items.
(1) Use crimping terminals with insulation sleeve to wire the power supply and motor.
(2) Application of power to the output terminals (U, V, W) of the inverter will damage the inverter. Never perform
such wiring.
(3) After wiring, wire offcuts must not be left in the inverter.
Wire offcuts can cause an alarm, failure or malfunction. Always keep the inverter clean. When drilling mounting holes in
an enclosure etc., take care not to allow chips and other foreign matter to enter the inverter.
(4) Use cables of the size to make a voltage drop 2% maximum.
If the wiring distance is long between the inverter and motor, a main circuit cable voltage drop will cause the motor torque
to decrease especially at the output of a low frequency.
Refer to page
(5) The total wiring length should be within the prescribed length.
Especially for long distance wiring, the fast-response current limit function may decrease, or the equipment connected to
the secondary side may malfunction. This is caused by a charging current due to the stray capacity of the wiring. Therefore,
note the overall wiring length. (Refer to page 22.)
19 for the recommended cable sizes.
(6) Electromagnetic wave interference
The input/output (main circuit) of the inverter includes high frequency components, which may interfere with the
communication devices (such as AM radios) used near the inverter. In this case, set the noise filter valid to minimize
interference.
(7) Do not install a power factor correction capacitor, surge suppressor or radio noise filter on the inverter output
side.
This will cause the inverter to trip or the capacitor, and surge suppressor to be damaged. If any of the above devices is
installed, immediately remove it.
(8) For some short time after the power is switched OFF, a high voltage remains in the smoothing capacitor.
When accessing the inverter for inspection, wait for at least 10 minutes after the power supply has been switched OFF,
and then make sure that the voltage across the main circuit terminals P/+ and N/- of the inverter is not more than 30VDC
using a tester.
(9) A short circuit or earth (ground) fault on the inverter output side may damage the inverter modules.
· Fully check the insulation resistance of the circuit prior to inverter operation since repeated short circuits may damage
the inverter modules. These short circuits may be caused by peripheral circuit inadequacy, an earth (ground) fault
caused by wiring inadequacy, or reduced motor insulation resistance.
· Fully check the to-earth (ground) insulation and phase to phase insulation of the inverter output side before power-on.
Especially for an old motor or use in a hostile atmosphere, securely check the motor insulation resistance etc.
(10) Do not use the inverter input side magnetic contactor to start/stop the inverter.
Since repeated inrush currents at power ON will shorten the life of the converter circuit (switching life is about 1,000,000
times. (For the 200V class 30K or higher, switching life is about 500,000)), frequent starts and stops of the MC must be
avoided.
Always use the start signal (ON/OFF of STF and STR signals) to start/stop the inverter.
(Refer to page 15)
(Refer to page 61)
3
(11) Across P/+ and PR terminals, connect only an external regenerative brake discharge resistor.
Do not connect a mechanical brake.
(12) Do not apply a voltage higher than the permissible voltage to the inverter I/O signal circuits.
Application of a voltage higher than the permissible voltage to the inverter I/O signal circuits or opposite polarity may
damage the I/O devices. Especially check the wiring to prevent the speed setting potentiometer from being connected
incorrectly to short across terminals 10E and 5.
63
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF THE INVERTER
Precautions for use of the inverter
(13) Provide electrical and mechanical interlocks for MC1 and
MC2 which are used for bypass operation.
When the wiring is incorrect or if there is an electronic bypass
circuit as shown on the right, the inverter will be damaged by
leakage current from the power supply when it is connected to
the inverter U, V, W terminals due to arcs generated at the time
of switch-over or chattering caused by a sequence error.
(Commercial operation cannot be performed with the vector
dedicated motor (SF-V5RU, SF-THY).)
(14) If the machine must not be restarted when power is restored after a power failure, provide a magnetic contactor
in the inverter's input side and also make up a sequence which will not switch ON the start signal.
If the start signal (start switch) remains ON after a power failure, the inverter will automatically restart as soon as the
power is restored.
(15) A motor with encoder is necessary for vector control. In addition, connect the encoder directly to the backlash-
free motor shaft. (An encoder is not necessary for Real sensorless vector control.)
(16) Inverter input side magnetic contactor (MC)
On the inverter input side, connect a MC for the following purposes. (Refer to page 4 for selection.)
1)To release the inverter from the power supply when a fault occurs or when the drive is not functioning (e.g. emergency
stop operation). For example, MC avoids overheat or burnout of the brake resistor when heat capacity of the resistor is
insufficient or brake regenerative transistor is damaged with short while connecting an optional brake resistor.
2)To prevent any accident due to an automatic restart at restoration of power after an inverter stop made by a power
failure
3)To separate the inverter from the power supply to ensure safe maintenance and inspection work.

If using an MC for emergency stop during operation, select an MC regarding the inverter input side current as

(17) Handling of inverter output side magnetic contactor
Switch the magnetic contactor between the inverter and motor only when both the inverter and motor are at a stop. When
the magnetic contactor is turned ON while the inverter is operating, overcurrent protection of the inverter and such will
activate. When MC is provided for switching to the commercial power supply, for example, switch it ON/OFF after the
inverter and motor have stopped.
(18) Countermeasures against inverter-generated EMI
If electromagnetic noise generated from the inverter causes frequency setting signal to fluctuate and motor
rotation speed to be unstable when changing motor speed with analog signal, the following countermeasures are
effective.
· Do not run the signal cables and power cables (inverter I/O cables) in parallel with each other and do not bundle them.
· Run signal cables as far away as possible from power cables (inverter I/O cables).
· Use shield cables as signal cables.
· Install a ferrite core on the signal cable (Example: ZCAT3035-1330 TDK).
(19) Instructions for overload operation
When performing an operation of frequent start/stop with the inverter, rise/fall in the temperature of the transistor element
of the inverter will repeat due to a continuous flow of large current, shortening the life from thermal fatigue. Since thermal
fatigue is related to the amount of current, the life can be increased by reducing current at locked condition, starting
current, etc. Decreasing current may increase the life. However, decreasing current will result in insufficient torque and
the inverter may not start. Therefore, choose the inverter which has enough allowance for current (up to 2 rank larger in
capacity).
(20) Make sure that the specifications and rating match the system requirements.
64
Failsafe of the system which uses
the inverter
3.6Failsafe of the system which uses the inverter
When a fault occurs, the inverter trips to output a fault signal. However, a fault output signal may not be output at an inverter
fault occurrence when the detection circuit or output circuit fails, etc. Although Mitsubishi assures best quality products,
provide an interlock which uses inverter status output signals to prevent accidents such as damage to machine when the
inverter fails for some reason and at the same time consider the system configuration where failsafe from outside the inverter,
without using the inverter, is enabled even if the inverter fails.
(1) Interlock method which uses the inverter status output signals
By combining the inverter status output signals to provide an interlock as shown below, an inverter alarm can be
detected.

1) Checking by the output of the inverter fault signal
When the inverter's protective function activates and the
inverter trips, the fault output signal (ALM signal) is output.
(ALM signal is assigned to terminal A1B1C1 in the initial
setting).
With this signal, you can check if the inverter is operating
properly.
In addition, negative logic can be set (ON when the inverter
is normal, OFF when the fault occurs).
2) Checking the inverter operating status by the inverter
operation ready completion signal
Operation ready signal (RY signal) is output when the
inverter power is ON and the inverter becomes operative.
Check if the RY signal is output after powering ON the
inverter.
3) Checking the inverter operating status by the start signal
input to the inverter and inverter running signal.
The inverter running signal (RUN signal) is output when the
inverter is running (RUN signal is assigned to terminal RUN
in the initial setting).
Check if RUN signal is output when inputting the start signal
to the inverter (forward signal is STF signal and reverse
signal is STR signal). For logic check, note that RUN signal
is output for the period from the inverter decelerates until
output to the motor is stopped, configure a sequence
considering the inverter deceleration time

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF THE INVERTER
Failsafe of the system which uses the
inverter
4) Checking the motor operating status by the start signal input to the inverter and inverter output current detection signal.
The output current detection signal (Y12 signal) is output when the inverter operates and currents flows in the motor.
Check if Y12 signal is output when inputting the start signal to the inverter (forward signal is STF signal and reverse
signal is STR signal). Note that the current level at which Y12 signal is output is set to 150% of the inverter rated current
in the initial value, it is necessary to adjust the level to around 20% using no load current of the motor as reference with
Pr.150 Output current detection level.
For logic check, as same as the inverter running signal (RUN signal), the inverter outputs for the period from the inverter
decelerates until output to the motor is stopped, configure a sequence considering the inverter deceleration time.

Pr. 190 to Pr. 196 Setting
Positive logic Negative logic
y When using various signals, assign functions to Pr. 190 to Pr.
196 (output terminal function selection) referring to the table on
the left.
CAUTION
⋅ Changing the terminal assignment using Pr. 190 to Pr. 196 (output terminal function selection) may affect the other functions. Make
setting after confirming the function of each terminal.
(2) Backup method outside the inverter
Even if the interlock is provided by the inverter status signal, enough failsafe is not ensured depending on the failure
status of the inverter itself. For example, when the inverter CPU fails, even if the interlock is provided using the inverter
fault signal, start signal and RUN signal, there is a case where a fault signal is not output and RUN signal is kept output
even if an inverter fault occurs.
Provide a speed detector to detect the motor speed and current detector to detect the motor current and consider the
backup system such as checking up as below according to the level of importance of the system.
1) Start signal and actual operation check
Check the motor running and motor current while the start signal is input to the inverter by comparing the start signal to
the inverter and detected speed of the speed detector or detected current of the current detector. Note that the motor
current runs as the motor is running for the period until the motor stops since the inverter starts decelerating even if the
start signal turns off. For the logic check, configure a sequence considering the inverter deceleration time. In addition, it is
recommended to check the three-phase current when using the current detector.
2) Command speed and actual operation check
Check if there is no gap between the actual speed and commanded speed by comparing the inverter speed command
and detected speed of the speed detector.

V/F control (initial setting), Advanced magnetic flux vector control, Real sensorless vector control and vector control are
available with this inverter.
(1)V/F control
⋅ It controls frequency and voltage so that the ratio of frequency (F) to voltage (V) is constant when changing frequency.
(2)Advanced magnetic flux vector control
⋅ This control divides the inverter output current into an excitation current and a torque current by vector calculation
and makes voltage compensation to flow a motor current which meets the load torque.
POINT
If the following conditions are not satisfied, select V/F control since malfunction such as insufficient torque and uneven
rotation may occur.
· The motor capacity should be equal to or one rank lower than the inverter capacity. (Note that the capacity should be
0.4kW or higher.)
· Motor to be used is any of Mitsubishi standard motor (SF-JR 0.4kW or higher), high efficiency motor (SF-HR 0.4kW or
higher) or Mitsubishi constant torque motor (SF-JRCA 4P, SF-HRCA 0.4kW to 55kW). When using a motor other than
the above (other manufacturer's motor, SF-TH, etc.), perform offline auto tuning without fail.
· Single-motor operation (one motor run by one inverter) should be performed.
· Wiring length from inverter to motor should be within 30m. (Perform offline auto tuning in the state where wiring work is
performed when the wiring length exceeds 30m.)
(3)Real sensorless vector control
⋅ By estimating the motor speed, speed control and torque control with more advanced current control function are
enabled. When high accuracy and fast response is necessary, select the Real sensorless vector control and
perform offline auto tuning.
⋅ This control can be applied to the following applications.
⋅ To minimize the speed fluctuation even at a severe load fluctuation
⋅ To generate low speed torque
⋅ To prevent machine from damage due to too large torque (torque limit)
⋅ To perform torque control
POINT
If the following conditions are not satisfied, select V/F control since malfunction such as insufficient torque and uneven
rotation may occur.
· The motor capacity should be equal to or one rank lower than the inverter capacity. (note that the capacity should be
0.4kW or higher)
· Perform offline auto tuning without fail. Offline auto tuning is necessary under Real sensorless vector control even when
the Mitsubishi motor is used.
· Single-motor operation (one motor run by one inverter) should be performed.
(4)Vector control
⋅ When the FR-A7AP/FR-A7AL is mounted, full-scale vector control operation can be performed using a motor with
encoder. Fast response/high accuracy speed control (zero speed control, servo lock), torque control, and position
control can be performed.
⋅ What is vector control?
Excellent control characteristics when compared to V/F control and other control techniques, achieving the control
characteristics equal to those of DC machines.
It is suitable for applications below.
⋅ To minimize the speed fluctuation even at a severe load fluctuation
⋅ To generate low speed torque
⋅ To prevent machine from damage due to too large torque (torque limit)
⋅ To perform torque control or position control
⋅ Servo-lock torque control which generates torque at zero speed (i.e. status of motor shaft = stopped)
POINT
If the conditions below are not satisfied, malfunction such as insufficient torque and uneven rotation may occur.
· The motor capacity should be equal to or one rank lower than the inverter capacity. (note that the capacity should be
0.4kW or higher)
· Motor to be used is any of Mitsubishi standard motor with encoder (SF-JR 0.4kW or higher), high efficiency motor with
encoder (SF-HR 0.4kW or higher) or Mitsubishi constant torque motor with encoder (SF-JRCA 4P, SF-HRCA 0.4kW to
55kW) or vector control dedicated motor (SF-V5RU (1500r/min series)). When using a motor other than the above (other
manufacturer's motor), perform offline auto tuning without fail.
· Single-motor operation (one motor run by one inverter) should be performed.
· Wiring length from inverter to motor should be within 30m. (Perform offline auto tuning in the state where wiring work is
performed when the wiring length exceeds 30m.)

In vector control, the voltage and output frequency are
calculated to control the motor so that the excitation current
and torque current (as shown in the left figure) flow to the
optimum as described below:
(1) The excitation current is controlled to place the internal
magnetic flux of the motor in the optimum status.
(2) Derive the torque command value so that the
torque current
excitation current
id
difference between the motor speed command and the
actual speed (speed estimated value for Real
sensorless vector control) obtained from the encoder
connected to the motor shaft is zero. Torque current is
controlled so that torque as set in the torque command
is developed.
Motor-generated torque (TM), slip angular velocity (ωs) and the motor's secondary magnetic flux (φ2) can be found by
the following calculation:

Vector control provides the following advantages:
(1) Excellent control characteristics when compared to V/
F control and other control techniques, achieving the
control characteristics equal to those of DC machines.
where, L2 = secondary inductance
L2 =
2 + M
(2) Applicable to fast response applications with which
induction motors were previously regarded as difficult
to use. Applications requiring a wide variable-speed
range from extremely low speed to high speed,
frequent acceleration/deceleration operations,
continuous four-quadrant operations etc.

(3) Allows torque control.
(4) Allows servo-lock torque control which generates a
torque at zero speed (i.e. status of motor shaft =
stopped). (Cannot be performed under Real sensorless vector control.)
