1. Electric Shock Prevention
WARNING
z While power is on or when the inverter is running, do not open the front cover. You may get an electric shock.
z 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.
z 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.
z Before starting wiring or inspection, check to make sure that the inverter power indicator lamp 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.
z 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).
z Any person who is involved in wiring or inspection of this equipment should be fully competent to do the work.
z Always install the inverter before wiring. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock or be injured.
z Perform setting dial and key operations with dry hands to prevent an electric shock.
z Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or pinching. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock.
z Do not change the cooling fan while power is on. It is dangerous to change the cooling fan while power is on.
2. Fire Prevention
CAUTION
z Install the inverter on an incombustible wall without holes, etc. Mounting it to or near combustible material can cause a fire.
z If the inverter has become faulty, switch off the inverter power. A continuous flow of large current could cause a fire.
z When a brake resistor is used, use an alarm signal to switch power off. Otherwise, the brake resistor will overheat abnormally due to
a brake transistor or other fault, resulting in a fire.
z Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals P, N. This could cause a fire.
3.Injury Prevention
CAUTION
z Apply only the voltage specified in the instruction manual to each terminal to prevent damage etc.
z Ensure that the cables are connected to the correct terminals. Otherwise damage etc. may occur.
z Always make sure that polarity is correct to prevent damage etc.
z While power is on and for some time after power-off, do not touch the inverter or brake resistor as they are hot and you may get burnt.
4. Additional Instructions
Also note the following points to prevent an accidental failure, injury, electric shock, etc.
1) Transportation and installation
CAUTION
z When carrying products, use correct lifting gear to prevent injury.
z Do not stack the inverter boxes higher than the number recommended.

2) Wiring
CAUTION
z Do not fit capacitive equipment such as power factor correction capacitor, surge suppressor or radio noise filter (option FR-BIF) to
the inverter output side.
z The connection orientation of the output cables (terminals U, V, W) to the motor will affect the direction of rotation of the motor.
3) Trial run
CAUTION
z Check all parameters, and ensure that the machine will not be damaged by a sudden start-up.
4) Operation
WARNING
z When you have chosen the retry function, stay away from the equipment as it will restart suddenly after an alarm stop.
z Since the [STOP] key is valid only when functions are set (refer to page 115) provide a circuit and switch separately to make an
z Make sure that the start signal is off before resetting the inverter alarm. A failure to do so may restart the motor suddenly.
z The load used should be a three-phase induction motor only. Connection of any other electrical equipment to the inverter output may
damage the equipment.
z Do not modify the equipment.
z Do not perform parts removal which is not instructed in this manual. Doing so may lead to fault or damage of the inverter.
CAUTION
z The electronic thermal relay function does not guarantee protection of the motor from overheating.
z Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter input for frequent starting/stopping of the inverter.
z Use a noise filter to reduce the effect of electromagnetic interference. Otherwise nearby electronic equipment may be affected.
z Take measures to suppress harmonics. Otherwise power supply harmonics from the inverter may heat/damage the power capacitor
and generator.
z When a 400V class motor is inverter-driven, please use an insulation-enhanced motor or measures taken to suppress surge
voltages. Surge voltages attributable to the wiring constants may occur at the motor terminals, deteriorating the insulation of the
motor.
z When parameter clear or all clear is performed, each parameter returns to the factory setting. Each parameter returns to the factory
setting.
z The inverter can be easily set for high-speed operation. Before changing its setting, fully examine the performances of the motor and machine.
z In addition to the inverter's holding function, install a holding device to ensure safety.
z Before running an inverter which had been stored for a long period, always perform inspection and test operation. In addition to the

Control circuit terminal specifications
1.4.1Connecting the control circuit to a power supply separately from the main circuit
If the magnetic contactor (MC) in the inverter power supply is opened when the protective circuit is operated, the
inverter control circuit power is lost and the alarm output signal cannot be kept on. To keep the alarm signal on
terminals R1 and S1 are available. In this case, connect the power supply terminals R1 and S1 of the control circuit
to the primary side of the MC.

Precautions for use of the vector inverter
1.5Precautions for use of the vector inverter
The FR-V500 series is a highly reliable product, but incorrect peripheral circuit making or operation/handling
method may shorten the product life or damage the product.
Before starting operation, always recheck the following items.
(1) Use insulation-sleeved crimping terminals for the power supply and motor cables.
(2) The inverter will be damaged if power is applied to the inverter output terminals (U, V, W).
(3) After wiring, wire offcuts must not be left in the inverter.
Wire offcuts can cause an alarm, fault 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) Wire the cables of the recommended size to make a voltage drop 2% or less.
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 high frequency.
Refer to Instruction Manual (basic) for the recommended wire sizes.
(5) The overall wiring length should be 100m maximum.
Especially for long distance wiring, the fast response current limit function may be reduced or the equipment
connected to the secondary side may malfunction or become faulty under the influence of a charging current
due to the stray capacity of the wiring. Therefore, note the overall wiring length.
(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, install the optional FR-BIF radio
noise filter (for use on the input side only) or FR-BSF01 or FR-BLF line noise filter to minimize interference.
(7) Do not install a power factor correction capacitor, surge suppressor or radio noise filter (FR-BIF option) on the
output side of the inverter.
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. (When the FR-BIF radio noise filter is connected, switching power off during motor
operation may result in E. UVT. In this case, connect the radio noise filter in the primary side of the magnetic contactor.)
(8) Before starting wiring or other work after the inverter is operated, 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.
(9) A short circuit or earth (ground) fault in 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
caused by peripheral circuit inadequacy or an earth (ground) fault caused by wiring inadequacy or reduced
motor insulation resistance may damage the inverter modules.
• Fully check the to-earth (ground) insulation and inter-phase insulation of the inverter secondary side before power on.
Especially for an old motor or use in hostile atmosphere, securely check the motor insulation resistance etc.
(10) Do not use the inverter power supply side magnetic contactor to start/stop the inverter.
Always use the start signal (turn on/off terminals STF, STR-SD) to start/stop the inverter. (Refer to page 14.)
(11) Across the 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 terminals 10E-5.
(13) Use of single-phase power supply
Do not use single-phase power input.
(14) Precautions for use of any motor other than the vector control dedicated motor (SF-V5RU, SF-VR) and
standard motor with encoder (SF-JR)
a)Vector control cannot be exercised without encoder.
b)Connect the encoder to the backlash-free motor shaft.
(15) Since the rated voltage differs from the commercial power supply voltage, the Mitsubishi dedicated motor
cannot perform bypass operation.

1.6.1Leakage currents and countermeasures
Leakage currents flow through static capacitances existing in the inverter I/O wiring and motor. Since their values
depend on the static capacitances, carrier frequency, etc., take the following measures.
(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 breakers and earth (ground) leakage relays
unnecessarily.
z Countermeasures
• When the carrier frequency setting is high, decrease the carrier frequency (Pr. 72) of the inverter.
Note that motor noise increases. Selection of Soft-PWM (Pr. 240) will make it unoffending.
• By using earth (ground) 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).
(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 smallcapacity model (7.5kW or less), the external thermal relay is likely to operate unnecessarily because the ratio of the
leakage current to the rated motor current increases.

unoffending.
For other than the dedicated motor (SF-V5RU), using a temperature sensor to directly detect the motor
temperature is recommended to ensure that the motor is protected against line-to-line leakage currents.
z 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
primary side. Select the MCCB according to the power supply 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 breaker, use the Mitsubishi earth (ground)
leakage breaker designed for harmonics and surges.

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 secondary 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.

1.6.2Power off and magnetic contactor (MC)
(1) Inverter primary side magnetic contactor (MC)
On the inverter primary side, it is recommended to provide an MC for the following purposes.
( Refer to the Instruction Manual (basic) for selection.)
1)To release the inverter from the power supply when the inverter protective function is activated or the drive
becomes faulty (e.g. emergency stop operation)
When cycle operation or heavy-duty operation is performed with an optional brake resistor connected,
overheat and burnout of the discharging resistor can be prevented if a regenerative brake transistor is
damaged due to insufficient heat capacity of the discharging resistor and excess regenerative brake duty.
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 rest the inverter for an extended period of time
The control power supply for inverter is always running and consumes a little power. When stopping the
inverter for an extended period of time, powering off the inverter will save power slightly.
4)To separate the inverter from the power supply to ensure safe maintenance and inspection work
Since the MC on the inverter input side is used for the above purposes, they correspond to the standard duties.
Therefore, when making an emergency stop during running, select a JEM1038 class AC3 MC for the inverter
input side currents.
REMARKS
The MC may be switched on/off to start/stop the inverter. However, since repeated inrush currents at power on will shorten the
life of the converter circuit (switching life is about 100,000 times), frequent starts and stops must be avoided. Turn on/off the
inverter start controlling terminals (STF, STR) to run/stop the inverter.
.

As shown on the right, always use the start
signal (turn on/off terminals STF, STR-SD) to

REMARKS

protective circuit is activated. At this time, remove jumpers across terminals R-R1 and S-S1. (Refer to page 10 for
removal of jumpers)
(2) Handling of secondary side magnetic contactor
In principle, do not provide a magnetic contactor between the inverter and motor and switch it from off to on during
operation. If it is switched on during inverter operation, a large inrush current may flow, stopping the inverter due to
overcurrent shut-off. When an MC is provided for switching to the commercial power supply, for example, switch it
on/off after the inverter and motor have stopped.

1.6.3Installation of reactor
When the inverter is connected near a large-capacity power transformer (1000kVA or more and wiring length 10m
max.) or when a power capacitor is to be switched over, an excessive peak current may flow in the power input
circuit, damaging the converter circuit. To prevent this, always install the DC reactor or AC reactor (FR-HEL/BEL or

Use a tinned crimping terminal which does not contain zinc to connect the earth (ground) cable. Tighten the
screw, taking care not to break its threads.
z Use the largest possible gauge for the earth (ground) cable. The gauge should be equal to or larger than those
indicated in the following table. The earthing (grounding) point should be as near as possible to the inverter to
minimize the earth (ground) cable length.

(grounding).
z Earth (Ground) the motor on the inverter side using one wire of the 4-core cable.
z 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 an 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) Where possible, use independent earthing (grounding) for the inverter.
If independent earthing (grounding) (I) is impossible, use joint earthing (grounding) (II) where the inverter is
connected with the other equipment at an earthing (grounding) point. Joint earthing (grounding) as in (III)
must be avoided as the inverter is connected with the other equipment by a common earth (ground) cable.
Also a leakage current including many high frequency components flows in the earth (ground) cables of the
inverter and inverter-driven motor. Therefore, they must use the independent earthing (grounding) method
and be separated from the earthing (grounding) of equipment sensitive to the aforementioned noises.
In a tall building, it will be a good policy to use the noise malfunction prevention type earthing (grounding)
with steel frames and carry out electric shock prevention type earthing (grounding) in the independent
earthing (grounding) method.
(b) 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).
(c) Use the thickest possible earth (ground) cable. The earth (ground) cable should be of not less than the size
indicated in the above table.
(d) The earthing (grounding) point should be as near as possible to the inverter to minimize the earth (ground)
cable length.
(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.
(f) Use one wire in a 4-core cable with the earth (ground) terminal of the motor and earth (ground) it on the
inverter side.

1.6.5Inverter-generated noises and their reduction techniques
Some noises enter the inverter to malfunction it and others are radiated by the inverter to malfunction peripheral
devices. Though the inverter is designed to be insusceptible to noises, 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
noises. If these noises cause peripheral devices to malfunction, measures should be taken to suppress noises.
These techniques differ slightly depending on noise propagation 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 twisted pair shielded 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 noises that enter and malfunction the inverter
When devices that generate many noises (which use magnetic contactors, magnetic brakes, many relays, for
example) are installed near the inverter and the inverter may be malfunctioned by noises, the following
measures must be taken:
•Provide surge suppressors for devices that generate many noises to suppress noises.
•Fit data line filters (page 18) to signal cables.
•Earth (Ground) the shields of the detector connection and control signal cables with cable clamp metal.
3)Techniques to reduce noises that are radiated by the inverter to malfunction peripheral devices
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.

• By decreasing the carrier frequency, the mains terminal interface voltage* can be reduced. When motor noise
does not pose a problem, set the carrier frequency to a low value using Pr. 72.
(*Mains terminal interface voltage represents the magnitude of noise propagated from the inverter to the power
supply side.)
• Using shield cables as signal cables, induction noise can be reduced greatly (to 1/10 - 1/100). Induction noise
can also be reduced by separating the signal cables from the inverter output cables. (Separation of 30cm
reduces noise to 1/2-1/3.)
By fitting the FR-BSF01 or BLF on the inverter output side, induction noise to the signal cables can be reduced.

Measures
When devices that handle low-level signals and are liable to malfunction due to 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
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) Insert line noise filters into I/O and radio noise filters into input to suppress cable-radiated noises.
(5) Use shielded 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 shielded 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) Install the radio noise filter (FR-BIF) to the power cables (input cables) of the inverter.
(2) Install the line noise filter (FR-BLF, FR-BSF01) to the power cables (I/O 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.
Noise entry can be prevented by providing a data line filter for the detector cable etc.

1.6.6Power supply harmonics
Power supply harmonics may be generated from the converter section of the inverter, affecting the power supply
equipment, power capacitors, etc. Power supply harmonics are different in generation source, frequency and
transmission path from radio frequency (RF) noise and leakage currents. Take the following measures.
z The differences between harmonics and RF noises are indicated below:

The harmonic current generated from the inverter
to the power supply 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, the
adequate method is to obtain them under rated
load at the maximum operating frequency.

CAUTION
The power factor improving capacitor and surge suppressor on the inverter output side may be
overheated or damaged by the high frequency components of the inverter output. Also, since an
excessive current flows in the inverter to activate overcurrent protection, do not provide a capacitor and
surge suppressor on the inverter output side when the motor is driven by the inverter. To improve the
power factor, insert a reactor on the inverter's primary side or in the DC circuit.

1.6.7Harmonic 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
guideline for household appliances and general-purpose products" and other models are covered by "Harmonic
suppression guideline for consumers who receive high voltage or special high voltage". However, the generalpurpose inverter has been excluded from the target products covered by "Harmonic suppression guideline for
household appliances and general-purpose products" in January 2004. Later, this guideline was repealed on
September 6, 2004. All capacities of all models are now target products of "Harmonic suppression guideline for
consumers who receive high voltage or special high voltage" (hereinafter referred to as "guideline for specific
consumers").
"Guideline for specific consumers"
This guideline sets forth the maximum values of harmonic currents outgoing from a high-voltage or especially
high-voltage 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.

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 (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 required for actual inverter drive.
2)Calculation of outgoing harmonic current
Outgoing harmonic current = fundamental wave current (value converted from received power voltage)
× operation ratio × harmonic content
• Operation ratio: Operation ratio = actual load factor × operation time ratio during 30 minutes
• Harmonic contents: Found in Table 4

3)Harmonic suppression technique requirement
If the outgoing harmonic current is higher than the maximum value per 1kW contract power × contract power, a
harmonic suppression technique is required.
