Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents 3.1.1 Leakage currents and countermeasures Capacitance exist between the inverter I/O cables, other cables and earth and in the motor, through which a leakage current flows. Since its value depends on the static capacitances, carrier frequency, etc., low acoustic noise operation at the increased carrier frequency of the inverter will increase the leakage current.
Page 70
(Check it in the data of the corresponding breaker.) As an earth leakage current breaker, use the Mitsubishi earth leakage current breaker designed for harmonics and surge suppression. Selecting the rated sensitivity current for the earth leakage circuit breaker When using an earth leakage circuit breaker with the inverter circuit, select its rated sensitivity current as follows, independently of the PWM carrier frequency.
Page 71
Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents NOTE • Install the earth leakage circuit breaker (ELB) on the input side of the inverter. • In the connection earthed-neutral system, the sensitivity current is blunt against a ground fault in the inverter output side. Earthing (Grounding) must conform to the requirements of national and local safety regulations and electrical codes.
Page 72
Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents Noise propagation Countermeasure path When devices that handle low-level signals and are liable to malfunction due to electromagnetic noises, e.g. instruments, receivers and sensors, are near the inverter or when the signal cables are run near the inverter, the devices may malfunction due to by air-propagated electromagnetic noises.
Page 73
Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents 3.1.3 Built-in EMC filter This inverter is equipped with a built-in EMC filter (capacitive filter) and a common mode choke. These filters are effective in reducing air-propagated noise on the input side of the inverter. To enable the EMC filter, fit the EMC filter ON/OFF connector to the ON position.
Power supply harmonics Power supply harmonics 3.2.1 Power supply harmonics The inverter may generate power supply harmonics from its converter circuit to affect the power generator, power factor correction capacitor etc. Power supply harmonics are different from noise and leakage currents in source, frequency band and transmission path.
Page 75
Power supply harmonics 3.2.2 Harmonic suppression guidelines in Japan Inverters have a converter section (rectifier circuit) and generate a harmonic current. Harmonic currents flow from the inverter to a power receiving point via a power transformer. The Harmonic Suppression Guidelines was established to protect other consumers from these outgoing harmonic currents. The three-phase 200 V input specifications 3.7 kW or lower were previously covered by "the Harmonic Suppression Guidelines for Household Appliances and General-purpose Products"...

Power supply harmonics • Harmonic content (Values of the fundamental current is 100%) Reactor 11th 13th 17th 19th 23rd 25th Used (DC side) Used (AC, DC sides) • Calculation of equivalent capacity P0 of harmonic generating equipment "Equivalent capacity" is the capacity of a 6-pulse converter converted from the capacity of consumer's harmonic generating equipment and is calculated by the following equation: If the sum of equivalent capacities is higher than the limit (Refer to page 74), harmonics must be calculated with the following procedure:...
Installation of a reactor • Determining if a countermeasure is required A countermeasure for harmonics is required if the following condition is satisfied: outgoing harmonic current > maximum value per 1 kW contract power contract power • Harmonic suppression techniques Item Description Because a DC reactor is built in on the DC side of this product, outgoing harmonic current can be...
Power-OFF and magnetic contactor (MC) Power-OFF and magnetic contactor (MC) Inverter input side magnetic contactor (MC) On the inverter input side, it is recommended to provide an MC for the following purposes: (Refer to page 17 for selection.) • To disconnect the inverter from the power supply at activation of a protective function or at malfunctioning of the driving system (emergency stop, etc.).
Countermeasures against deterioration of the 400 V class motor insulation Countermeasures against deterioration of the 400 V class motor insulation In the PWM type inverter, a surge voltage attributable to wiring constants is generated at the motor terminals. Especially in a 400 V class motor, the surge voltage may deteriorate the insulation.
Checklist before starting operation Checklist before starting operation The FR-F800 series inverter is a highly reliable product, but incorrect peripheral circuit making or operation/handling method may shorten the product life or damage the product. Before starting operation, always recheck the following points. Refer Check Checkpoint...
Page 81
Checklist before starting operation Refer Check Checkpoint Countermeasure to page by user If the machine must not be restarted when power is restored after a power A countermeasure is provided for failure, provide an MC in the inverter's input side and also make up a power restoration after a power sequence which will not switch ON the start signal.
Although Mitsubishi assures the best quality products, provide an interlock which uses inverter status output signals to prevent accidents such as damage to the machine when the inverter fails for some reason. Also at the same time consider the system configuration where a failsafe from outside the inverter, without using the inverter, is enabled even if the inverter fails.
Page 83
Failsafe system which uses the inverter (d) Checking the motor operating status by the start signal input to the inverter and inverter output current detection signal The Output current detection (Y12) signal is output when the inverter operates and currents flows into the motor. Check if the Y12 signal is being output while inputting a start signal to the inverter.
