Mitsubishi Electric FR-D800 series inverters

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

Compact and intuitive with a focus on user-friendliness, the inverters feature a door-style surface cover and integrated wiring for faster and easier installation.

The inverter is claimed to be up to 37% smaller than its equivalent predecessor; reducing enclosure size requirements, and 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 inverters are engineered to help save energy with advanced synchronous motor control, which reduces power consumption and cuts operating costs.

A high-efficiency motor drive and lower standby power consumption also contribute to a reduced carbon footprint, supporting more sustainable production practices.

The 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, thanks to circuit board protection meeting IEC 60721-3-3:1994 3C2/3S2 standards.

Furthermore, the inverters can 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 enables integration into existing industrial networks, so users can quickly integrate the inverters into their digital manufacturing and smart production environments.

The series is designed for easy maintenance and has models for different voltage requirements, including single-phase 100 V and 200 V, and three-phase 400 V options.
