Installation of the inverter and enclosure design When designing or manufacturing an inverter enclosure, determine the structure, size, and device layout of the enclosure by fully considering the conditions such as heat generation of the contained devices and the operating environment. An inverter uses many semiconductor devices.
NOTE • For the amount of heat generated by the inverter unit, refer to page Humidity Normally operate the inverter within the ambient air humidity of 45% to 95%. Too high humidity will pose problems of reduced insulation and metal corrosion. On the other hand, too low humidity may cause a spatial electrical breakdown. The humidity conditions for the insulation distance defined in JEM 1103 standard "Insulation Distance from Control Equipment"...
Vibration, impact The vibration resistance of the inverter is as follows: the maximum amplitude is 0.075 mm (frequency range: 10 to 57 Hz), and the maximum acceleration speed is 1G (frequency range: 57 to 150 Hz). Subjecting the product to vibration and impacts over a long period of time may loosen the structure and cause poor contacts of connectors, even if those vibration and impacts are within the specified values.
2.3.3 Cooling system types for inverter enclosure From the enclosure that contains the inverter, the heat of the inverter and other equipment (transformers, lamps, resistors, etc.) and the incoming heat such as direct sunlight must be dissipated to keep the in-enclosure temperature lower than the permissible temperatures of the in-enclosure equipment including the inverter.
2.3.4 Inverter installation Inverter placement • Install the inverter on a strong surface securely with screws. • Leave enough clearances and take cooling measures. • Avoid places where the inverter is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity. •...

2.5.5 Earthing (grounding) precautions • Always earth (ground) the motor, the inverter, and the converter unit. Purpose of earthing (grounding) Generally, an electrical apparatus has an earth (ground) terminal, which must be connected to the ground before use. An electrical circuit is usually insulated by an insulating material and encased. However, it is impossible to manufacture an insulating material that can shut off a leakage current completely, and actually, a slight current flows into the case.

Two female connectors are initially connected to the OFF (disabled) male connectors.
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.
All capacity and all models of general-purpose inverter used by specific consumers are now covered by "the Harmonic Suppression Guidelines for Consumers Who Receive High Voltage or Special High Voltage" (hereinafter referred to as "the Specific Consumer Guidelines"). • "Specific Consumer Guidelines" This guideline sets forth the maximum harmonic currents outgoing from a high-voltage or especially high-voltage receiving consumer who will install, add or renew harmonic generating equipment.
Page 107
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 105), harmonics must be calculated by the equation in next subheading.
Page 108
Harmonic suppression techniques Item Description With the DC reactor equipped on its DC side, the converter unit (FR-CC2M) can suppress the outgoing Reactor installation (FR- harmonic current. Install an AC reactor (FR-HAL) on the AC side of the inverter to further suppress HAL) outgoing harmonic currents.
Installation of a reactor When the inverter is connected near a large-capacity power transformer (1000 kVA or more) or when a power factor correction capacitor is to be switched over, an excessive peak current may flow in the power input circuit, damaging the converter circuit. To prevent this, always install an AC reactor (FR-HAL), which is available as an option.
Power shutdown and magnetic contactor (MC) Converter unit input side magnetic contactor (MC) On the converter unit input side, it is recommended to provide an MC for the following purposes. (Refer to page 24 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.).
Page 111
NOTE • Before wiring or inspection for a PM motor, confirm that the PM motor is stopped. In an application, such as fan and blower, where the motor is driven by the load, a low-voltage manual contactor must be connected at the inverter's output side, and wiring and inspection must be performed while the contactor is open.
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. When the 400 V class motor is driven by the inverter, consider the following countermeasures: ...

Refer to Check by Checkpoint Countermeasure page user • Make sure that terminal P/+ of the converter unit and terminal P/+ of the inverter, and terminal N/- of the converter unit and terminal N/- of the inverter are correctly connected. Connecting the opposite polarity of terminals N/- and P/+ will damage the inverter.
Page 115
Refer to Check by Checkpoint Countermeasure page 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 by reducing A countermeasure is provided for current at locked condition, starting current, etc.
Failsafe system which uses the inverter When a fault is detected by the protective function, the protective function activates and outputs the Fault signal. However, the 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.

Checking the inverter operating status by using the start signal input to the inverter and the Inverter running signal output from the inverter ... (c) The Inverter running (RUN) signal is output when the inverter is running. (The RUN signal is assigned to terminal RUN in the initial setting.) Check if the RUN signal is output while a start signal (the STF/STR signal for forward/reverse rotation command) is input to the inverter.

Page 137
Replacement procedure of the cooling fan The replacement interval of the cooling fan used for cooling the parts generating heat such as the main circuit semiconductor is greatly affected by the surrounding air temperature. When unusual noise and/or vibration are noticed during inspection, the cooling fan must be replaced immediately.
Smoothing capacitors A large-capacity aluminum electrolytic capacitor is used for smoothing in the DC section of the main circuit, and an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is used for stabilizing the control circuit power in the control circuit. Adverse effects from ripple currents deteriorate capacitors.
