Mitsubishi Electric FR-F500 Instruction Manual page 6

• The load used should be a three-phase induction motor only. Connection of any other electrical
equipment to the inverter output may damage the equipment.
• Do not modify the equipment.
• The electronic overcurrent protection does not guarantee protection of the motor from overheating.
• Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter input for frequent starting/stopping of the inverter.
•Use a noise filter to reduce the effect of electromagnetic interference. Otherwise nearby electronic
equipment may be affected.
• Take measures to suppress harmonics. Otherwise power harmonics from the inverter may heat/damage
the power capacitor and generator.
• When a 400V class motor is inverter-driven, it should be insulation-enhanced or surge voltages
suppressed. Surge voltages attributable to the wiring constants may occur at the motor terminals,
deteriorating the insulation of the motor.
• When parameter clear or all clear is performed, each parameter returns to the factory setting. Re-set the
required parameters before starting operation.
• The inverter can be easily set for high-speed operation. Before changing its setting, examine the
performance of the motor and machine.
• In addition to the inverter's holding function, install a holding device to ensure safety.
• Before running an inverter which had been stored for a long period, always perform inspection and test
operation.
(5) Emergency stop
• Provide a safety backup such as an emergency brake which will prevent the machine and equipment
from hazardous conditions if the inverter fails.
(6) Maintenance, inspection and parts replacement
• Do not carry out a megger (insulation resistance) test on the control circuit of the inverter.
(7) Disposing of the inverter
• Treat as industrial waste.
(8) General instructions
Many of the diagrams and drawings in this instruction manual show the inverter without a cover, or partially
open. Never run the inverter like this. Always replace the cover and follow this instruction manual when
operating the inverter.
