Mitsubishi Electric FR-E720-0.1K Instruction Manual page 17

Wiring
(1) Cable size and other specifications of the main circuit terminals and the earthing terminal
Select the recommended cable size to ensure that a voltage drop will be 2% at maximum.
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 low frequency.
The following table indicates a selection example for the wiring length of 20m.


The cable size is that of the cable (HIV cable (600V class 2 vinyl-insulated cable) etc.) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 75°C. Assumes
that the surrounding air temperature is 50°C or less and the wiring distance is 20m or less.

The recommended cable size is that of the cable (THHW cable) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 75°C. Assumes that the surrounding air
temperature is 40°C or less and the wiring distance is 20m or less. (For the use in the United States or Canada, refer to page 56.)

The recommended cable size is that of the cable (PVC cable) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 70°C. Assumes that the surrounding air
temperature is 40°C or less and the wiring distance is 20m or less. (Selection example for use mainly in Europe.)

The terminal screw size indicates the terminal size for R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, U, V, W, PR, P/+, N/-, P1 and a screw for earthing (grounding).
A screw for earthing (grounding) of the FR-E720-15K is indicated in ( ).
For single-phase power input, the terminal screw size indicates the size of terminal screw for R/L1, S/L2, U, V, W, PR, P/+, N/-, P1 and a screw for earthing
(grounding).
NOTE
 Tighten the terminal screw to the specified torque. A screw that has been tighten too loosely can cause a short circuit
or malfunction. A screw that has been tighten too tightly can cause a short circuit or malfunction due to the unit
breakage.
 Use crimp terminals with insulation sleeve to wire the power supply and motor.
The line voltage drop can be calculated by the following formula:
3 × wire resistance [mΩ/m] × wiring distance [m] × current [A]
Line voltage drop [V]=
Use a larger diameter cable when the wiring distance is long or when it is desired to decrease the voltage drop (torque
reduction) in the low speed range.
