Motors & Drives Information

Available for 200 or 400 V supplies, F700 series inverter features proprietary energy optimization software and can control up to 4 pump or fan motors. Programming is facilitated by jog dial, which provides access to 400 parameters. NEMA 1 structure allows for safe, secure installations in panel or as stand-alone module. Features include Optimum Excitation Control system, power dip ride-through and remote I/O capabilities, and independent RS-485 connections.

VERNON HILLS, ILLINOIS, October 12, 2004 - Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc., a global supplier of automation products to all major industries, has introduced its F700 series of variable frequency drives (VFDs) that can control motors ranging from one to 800 horsepower. The F700 inverter features the latest version of Mitsubishi Electric's proprietary energy optimization software that boosts motor efficiency to new levels and maximizes energy savings.

"This new drive is suitable for virtually any general purpose application that involves a motor, whether it's on the shop floor, air-handling unit or machine room," said Chris Cusick, marketing manager for Mitsubishi Electric Automation. "The unprecedented range of the F700 makes it one of the most versatile VFDs on the market. Available for either 200V or 400 V supplies, from 1-800HP, each VFD can control up to 4 pump or fan motors, resulting in significantly shorter payback times and reductions in maintenance costs in energy saving."

The F700 is a totally new design from Mitsubishi Electric, and features a new power module and hardware. Its NEMA 1 structure allows for safe, secure installations, whether in a panel or as a stand-alone module. Ease-of-programming is also a key benefit made possible by a jog dial that provides fast access to any of its 400 parameters. The F700 also incorporates an Optimum Excitation Control system that maximizes motor efficiency under all load conditions, and can even track and display energy and dollar savings in real time. Robust protective features help ensure that the drive will keep running despite fluctuations or interruptions in power.

The F700 VFD includes these new features:

* NEMA 1 enclosure designs: The drive can be mounted as a stand-alone unit where required.

* Ease-of-Programming: No more tedious scrolling to access parameters thanks to the new DU07 programming dial and FR-Configurator programming software.
