Mitsubishi Electric FR-D800 series inverters 

Mitsubishi Electric has launched its FR-D800 series inverters, designed to deliver better performance, easy operation and improved energy efficiency for a wide range of industrial applications.

With a focus on user-friendliness, the FR-D800 inverters feature a door-style surface cover and integrated wiring to make installation faster and easier. The company says the FR-D800 is up to 37% smaller than its equivalent predecessor, reducing enclosure size requirements, allowing for more flexible mounting and reduced installation costs. A USB Type-C interface lets users set parameters directly from a PC without powering up the inverter, streamlining both setup and maintenance.

The FR-D800 series is suitable for a wide range of applications, from conveyors and pumps to food processing equipment and textile machinery. Selected models are also suitable for harsh, corrosive environments, due to circuit board protection meeting IEC 60721-3-3:1994 3C2/3S2 standards. FR-D800 inverters can also be used to control both induction and permanent magnet (PM) motors, eliminating the need for multiple inverters for different motor types. Built-in support for popular Ethernet protocols including CC-Link IE TSN, Modbus/TCP and EtherNet/IP allows for integration into existing industrial networks.

Preventive maintenance functions include lifetime diagnostics for key components like capacitors and fans. Anomaly detection based on current patterns helps reduce the risk of unexpected downtime, and when a fault does occur, analysis functions solve the problem quickly.
