FR-A840-55K-1 | MITSUBISHI | Variateur de vitesse/fréquence (VSD/VFD) / Onduleur avec terminaison FM

Description

Optimizing heavy-duty industrial machinery performance, the Mitsubishi Electric FR-A840-55K-1 is a premium three-phase vector control variable frequency drive engineered for high-torque applications up to 55 kW. This high-performance FR-A800 series inverter features an integrated FM pulse terminal for precise monitoring and supports advanced Real Sensorless Vector Control (RSVC) to achieve exceptional speed and torque accuracy. Designed to integrate seamlessly into complex factory automation architectures, the unit provides reliable power conversion, extensive communications support, and robust energy-saving features to maximize process uptime.

Features

• Advanced Real Sensorless Vector Control and PM sensorless vector control for unmatched motor shaft performance.
• Built-in FM pulse train terminal providing high-resolution analog output configurations for system monitoring.
• Integrated multi-port external communication interfaces supporting RS-485, RS-422, and RS-232 protocols.
• Multi-rating flexibility to adapt to both Normal Duty (ND) and Light Duty (LD) operational demands.
• Compliance with global functional safety standards including safety stop functions to minimize risk in manual intervention areas.

Applications

• High-capacity material handling systems including cranes, hoists, and continuous conveyors.
• Industrial fan systems, heavy-duty blowers, and municipal water supply pumping systems.
• Continuous manufacturing machinery such as extruders, mixers, and winding systems.
• Automated machine tool spindles and deep-well oil recovery pumping applications.

Connections and Interfaces

Alternative Models & Compatibility

The FR-A840-55K-1 serves as a direct functional replacement for legacy FR-A740-55K series drives. When replacing an older A700 series unit, parameter configurations can be transferred using Mitsubishi FR Configurator2 software. Note that although physical cabinet footprints are highly aligned, cooling fan clearances and terminal block configurations should be verified prior to structural integration.

Application Pitfalls & Engineering Notes

To maintain optimal thermal performance under continuous duty in enclosed control cabinets, do not exceed an ambient temperature of 50 Celsius without applying appropriate derating guidelines. When running this unit with high carrier frequencies to eliminate motor audible noise, ensure that the output current rating is adjusted downward according to the manufacturer derating curves to avoid thermal over-current trips (E.THT / E.OC1).

Commissioning & Wiring Tips

For installations utilizing control cable runs longer than 30 meters to the FM pulse terminal, use shielded twisted-pair (STP) cabling. Ensure that the cable shield is grounded strictly at the drive-end ground point (PE terminal) to prevent industrial high-frequency noise from inducing signal distortion or false logic transitions. Always separate control signal wiring from high-power 400 V AC inputs and motor output cabling by a minimum clearance of 30 cm.
