Inverter-Driven 400V Class Motor - Mitsubishi Electric FR-E540-0.4K-EC Instruction Manual

z Countermeasures
y Use the electronic overcurrent protection of the inverter.
y Decrease the carrier frequency. Note that motor noise increases. Selection of
Soft-PWM will make it unoffending.
To ensure that the motor is protected against line-to-line leakage currents, it is
recommended to use a temperature sensor to directly detect motor temperature.

2.3.4 Inverter-driven 400V class motor

In the PWM type inverter, a surge voltage attributable to wiring constants is generated
at the motor terminals. Especially for a 400V class motor, the surge voltage may
deteriorate the insulation. When the 400V class motor is driven by the inverter,
consider the following measures:
z Measures
It is recommended to take either of the following measures:
(1) Rectifying the motor insulation
For the 400V class motor, use an insulation-rectified motor. Specifically
1) Specify the "400V class inverter-driven, insulation-rectified motor".
2) For the dedicated motor such as the constant-torque motor and
low-vibration motor, use the "inverter-driven, dedicated motor".
(2) Suppressing the surge voltage on the inverter side
On the secondary side of the inverter, connect the optional surge voltage
suppression filter (FR-ASF-H).
