    Checklist before starting operation Checklist before starting operation The FR-A800 series inverter and FR-CC2 converter unit are highly reliable products, but incorrect peripheral circuit making or operation/handling method may shorten the product life or damage the products. Before starting operation, always recheck the following points. Refer Check Checkpoint...
  • Page 85 Checklist before starting operation Refer Check Checkpoint Countermeasure to page by user • Make sure that the terminal P/+ of the converter unit and the terminal P/+ of the inverter, and the terminal N/- of the converter unit and the terminal N/- of the inverter are correctly connected.
  • Page 86 Checklist before starting operation Refer Check Checkpoint Countermeasure to page by user When performing frequent starts/stops by the inverter, rise/fall in the temperature of the transistor element of the inverter will repeat due to a repeated flow of large current, shortening the life from thermal fatigue. Since thermal fatigue is related to the amount of current, the life can be increased A countermeasure is provided for an by reducing current at locked condition, starting current, etc.
  • Page 87: Failsafe System Which Uses The Inverter

    Failsafe system which uses the inverter Failsafe system which uses the inverter When a fault is detected by the protective function, the protective function activates and outputs a fault signal. However, a fault signal may not be output at an inverter's fault occurrence when the detection circuit or output circuit fails, etc. 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.
  • Page 88 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 signal (Y12 signal) is output when the inverter operates and current flows into the motor. Check if Y12 signal is being output while inputting a start signal to the inverter.
