*1 : At 3.7 kW with no load. Differs depending on the load conditions and motor capacity.
*2 : The option (FR-A8AP, FR-A8AL, or FR-A8TP) is required.
Speed response: The speed response indicates how fast the inverter follows the change in the speed command. (The larger value indicates the better speed trackability.)

·            *1 : Models can be alternatively indicated with the inverter rated current (SLD rating).
(IP55 compatible models have LD and ND rating types only. However, the SLD rated current of standard models is used to represent the model.)

·            *2 : Specification differs by the type as follows.

·             

Type	Monitor output	Initial setting
		Built-in EMC filter	Control logic	Rated frequency	Pr.19 Base frequency voltage
FM (terminal FM equipped model)	Terminal FM (pulse train output) Terminal AM (analog voltage output (0 to ±10 VDC))	OFF	Sink logic	60 Hz	9999 (same as the power supply voltage)
CA (terminal CA equipped model)	Terminal CA (analog current output (0 to 20 mADC)) Terminal AM (analog voltage output (0 to ±10 VDC))	ON	Source logic	50 Hz	8888 (95% of the power supply voltage)

·            *3 : Available for the 5.5K or higher.

·            *4 : For using the 75K or higher inverter and a 75 kW or higher motor, always install a DC reactor (FR-HEL), which is available as an option.

·            *5 : Always install the converter unit (FR-CC2). (Not required when a high power factor converter (FR-HC2) is used.)

Compliance with EU EMC Directive with inverter alone

Troublesome acquisition of standards is unnecessary.

 · The FR-A800 series is equipped with an EMC filter as standard for compliance with EMC Directive with the inverter alone. (EN 61800-3 2nd Environment Category C3)

 · The newly developed drive technology and the power supply technology minimize the EMI emitted from inverters.

55K or lower	Standard (built-in)	Standard (built-in)	Option (sold separately)
75K or higher	Standard (built-in)	Option (sold separately)	Option (sold separately)

Global compatibility

Compliance with a variety of standards

Complies with UL, cUL, and EC Directives (CE marking), and the Radio Waves Act (South Korea) (KC marking). It is also certified as compliant with the Eurasian Conformity (EAC).

 · Being RoHS compliant, the FR-A800 series inverters are friendly to people and to the environment.

 · For the 400 V class^*1, compliance with various countries ship classifications allows use on ship equipment. (A noise filter is required for the FR-A840 inverter and the FR-CC2 converter unit, and a ferrite core is required for the FR-A846 inverter. (Refer to page 175).)

·            *1 : The IP55 compatible model with a built-in C3 filter is not compliant with the ship classification standards.

·            *2 : The IP55 compatible model will be certified as compliant with the ship classification standards soon.

Protected in hazardous environment

Circuit board coating

The inverters with PCB coating (IEC60721-3-3 3C2/3S2) and conductive plating are available for improved environmental resistance. ("-60" or "-06" is affixed to the end of the inverter model name.)

 

Wire saving, space saving

Built-in brake transistor 

In addition to the 22K and lower, 400 V class 30 to 55K models have also been equipped with a built-in brake transistor. In an application where the motor is hardly decelerated, connecting a brake resistor can shorten the deceleration time; no brake unit or power regeneration converter is required. Wiring, space, and ultimately the cost will be all saved.

 

Direct installation by the machine

IP55 compatible 

Inverters can be installed nearby the machine, minimizing cable length between the inverter and motor.

 · Support is available for use even in high-humidity or dusty environments, facilitating a more flexible choice of installation locations.

 · By enclosing a DC reactor, it requires less wiring and less space.

 · Compatible with cable glands to meet the IP55 specification at the wiring section.
