Advanced Mitsubishi Technology Creates a Winner
Highly Cost-Effective and Very Powerful
■ High Torque (150 %) at Speeds as Low as 1Hz.
Mitsubishi has achieved a 1Hz 150% torque by combining slip compensation with its original general-purpose flux vector control. Operation
can be controlled by general-purpose flux vector control even when motor characteristics vary simply by using the off-line auto-tuning function.
Sample speed-torque characteristics when general-purpose flux vector control

and slip compensation are selected (with an SF-JR 4P 0.75kW motor)

■ A Brake Resistor can be Connected (0.4K and above).
■ High Response Current Limit.

Thanks to the high-response current limit function, there are fewer trips caused by overcurrent. It even handles instant peak currents when
starting during reverse coasting.
■ Now with a Higher Output Current Rating.

More powerful thanks to the highest output current rating in its class.

● The FR-PU04 is another option available. It takes direct input
from a key pad. It uses a long-life backlit LCD and allows you to
copy parameters. Eight languages are available ( Japanese,
English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, and Finnish).

● We've made parameter user group functions as standard. You can

select just the parameters you need for writing and reading to
simplify parameter management.
● You can use the setup software for parameter settings. We've
provided optional software that lets you use a personal computer
to assist you in everything from starting up the inverter to
maintenance.
■ Easy to Maintain
● Easy access makes changing the cooling fan very simple. Operating

Notes: 1. The indicated control torque size is the short-term average torque (which changes with motor loss) when decelerated at maximum rate from 60Hz when the motor
is operated alone. It is not continuous regenerative torque. Deceleration from frequencies in excess of the base frequency will have lower average deceleration
torque values. The inverters have no built-in brake resistors, so when the regenerative energy is high, use the optional brake resistor. A BU model brake unit may
also be used (except with 0.1K and 0.2K models). The control torque when a brake resistor is used is shown on page 41; the same for when a brake unit is used
is shown on page 36.
