Electric Shock Prevention
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 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 access the charged inverter circuits and get an electric shock.
●
Before starting wiring or inspection, check to make sure that the operation panel
indicator 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. The
capacitor is charged with high voltage for some time after power off and it is
dangerous.
●
This inverter must be earthed. Earthing must conform to the requirements of
national and local safety regulations and electrical codes. (JIS, NEC section 250,
IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable standards)
●
Any person who is involved in the wiring or inspection of this equipment should
be fully competent to do the work.
●
Always install the inverter before wiring. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock
or be injured.
●

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 no
t touch the printed circuit board with wet hands. You may get an electric shock.
b
Fire Prevention
CAUTION:
Mount the inverter to non-combustible surface such as metal or concrete. Mounting
●
it to or near combustible material can cause a fire.
●
If the inverter has become faulty, switch off the inverter power. A continuous flow
of large current could cause a fire.
●
When using a brake resistor, make up a sequence that will turn off power when an
alarm signal is output. Otherwise, the brake resistor may excessively overheat due
to damage of the brake transistor and such, causing a fire.
●
Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals P, N. This could cause a fire
and destroy the inverter. The surface temperature of braking resistors can far
exceed 100°C for brief periods. Make sure that there is adequate protection against
accidental contact and a safe distance is maintained to other units and system
parts.

●
wise, burst, damage, etc. may occur.
●
Ensure that the cables are connected to the correct terminals. Otherwise, burst,
damage, etc. may occur.
●
Always make sure that polarity is correct to prevent damage, etc. Otherwise, burst,
damage, etc. may occur.
●
While power is on or for some time after power-off, do not touch the inverter as it
is hot and you may get burnt.

Wiring
CAUTION:
●
Do not install assemblies or components (e. g. power factor correction capacitors)
on the inverter output side, which are not approved from Mitsubishi.
●
The direction of rotation of the motor corresponds to the direction of rotation
commands (STF/STR) only if the phase sequence (U, V, W) is maintained.
Operation
WARNING:
When you have chosen the retry function, stay away from the equipment as it will
●
restart suddenly after an alarm stop.
●
The STOP/RESET key is valid only when the appropriate function setting has been
made. Prepare an emergency stop switch separately.
●
Make sure that the start signal is off before resetting the inverter alarm. A failure
to do so may restart the motor suddenly.
●
The inverter can be started and stopped via the serial port communications link or
the field bus. However, please note that depending on the settings of the
communications parameters it may not be possible to stop the system via these
connections if there is an error in the communications system or the data line. In
configurations like this it is thus essential to install additional safety hardware that
makes it possible to stop the system in an emergency (e.g. controller inhibit via
control signal, external motor contactor etc). Clear and unambiguous warnings
about this must be posted on site for the operating and service staff.
●
The load used should be a three-phase induction motor only. Connection of
anyother electrical equipment to the inverter output may damage the inverter as
well as 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 run also at alow speed
when the speed limit value = 0 with a start command input. Perform pre-excitation
after making sure that there will be no problem in safety if the motor runs.
●
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.
IV
b
CAUTION:
●
The electronic thermal relay function does not guarantee protection of the motor
from overheating.
●
Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter input for frequent starting/stopping
of the inverter.
●
Use a noise filter to reduce the effect of electromagnetic interference and follow
the accepted EMC procedures for proper installation of frequency inverters. Otherwise nearby electronic equipment may be affected.
●
Take appropriate measures regarding harmonics. Otherwise this can endanger
compensation systems or overload generators.
●
Use a motor designed for inverter operation. (The stress for motor windings is
bigger than in line power supply).
●
When parameter clear or all clear is performed, set again the required parameters
before starting operations. Each parameter returns to the initial value.
●
The inverter can be easily set for high-speed operation. Before changing its setting,
fully examine the performances of the motor and machine.
●
The DC braking function of the frequency inverter is not designed to continuously
hold a load. Use an electro-mechanical holding brake on the motor for this purpose.
●
Before running an inverter which had been stored for a long period, always perform
inspection and test operation.
●
For prevention of damage due to static electricity, touch nearby metal before
touching this product to eliminate static electricity from your body.

Diagnosis and Settings
CAUTION:
Before starting operation, confirm and adjust the parameters. A failure to do so
●
may cause some machines to make unexpected motions.
Emergency stop
CAUTION:
Provide a safety backup such as an emergency brake which will prevent the
●
machine and equipment from hazardous conditions if the inverter fails.
●
When the breaker on the inverter primary side trips, check for the wiring fault (short
circuit), damage to internal parts of the inverter, etc. Identify the cause of the trip,
then remove the cause and power on the breaker.
●
When the protective function is activated (i. e. the frequency inverter switches off
with an error message), take the corresponding corrective action as described in
the inverter manual, then reset the inverter, and resume operation.

Enclosure designInstallation
2.4 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.
2.4.1 Inverter 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.

Tab. 2-1:Environmental standard specifications of inverter
Temperature
The permissible ambient temperature of the inverter is between −10 and +50°C (when LD, ND
or HD is set) or −10 and +40°C (when SLD is set). 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 ambient
temperature of the inverter falls within the specified range.
● Measures against high temperature
– Use a forced ventilation system or similar cooling system. (Refer to page 2-9.)
– 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.
● 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.)
● Sudden temperature changes
2 - 6
– 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.
