Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents 3.1.1 Leakage currents and countermeasures Capacitances exist between the inverter I/O cables, other cables and earth and in the motor, through which a leakage current flows. Since its value depends on the static capacitances, carrier frequency, etc., low acoustic noise operation at the increased carrier frequency of the inverter will increase the leakage current.
Page 74
Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents Selecting the rated sensitivity current for the earth leakage circuit breaker When using an earth leakage circuit breaker with the inverter circuit, select its rated sensitivity current as follows, independently of the PWM carrier frequency. •...
Page 75
Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents NOTE • Install the earth leakage circuit breaker (ELB) on the input side of the converter unit. • In the connection earthed-neutral system, the sensitivity current is blunt against a ground fault in the inverter output side. Earthing (Grounding) must conform to the requirements of national and local safety regulations and electrical codes.
Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents 3.1.2 Precautions against inverter-generated EMI Some electromagnetic noises enter the inverter or the converter unit to cause its malfunction, and others are radiated by the inverter or the converter unit to cause the peripheral devices to malfunction. Though the inverter or the converter unit is designed to have high immunity performance, it handles low-level signals, so it requires the following basic techniques.
Page 77
Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents Noise Countermeasure propagation path When devices that handle low-level signals and are liable to malfunction due to electromagnetic noises, e.g. instruments, receivers and sensors, are contained in the enclosure that contains the inverter or the converter unit, or when their signal cables are run near the inverter, the devices may malfunction due to by air-propagated electromagnetic noises.

Inverter Line noise Converter power Inverter Motor filter filter unit supply Use 4-core cable for motor Separate inverter, power cable and use one cable converter unit and as earth (ground) cable.
Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents 3.1.3 Converter unit (FR-CC2) built-in EMC filter The converter unit (FR-CC2) is equipped with a built-in EMC filter (capacitive filter). These filters are effective in reducing air-propagated noise on the input side of the converter unit. To enable the EMC filter, fit the EMC filter ON/OFF connector to the ON position.
Power supply harmonics 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.
Power supply harmonics 3.2.2 Harmonic Suppression Guidelines in Japan Inverters have a converter section (rectifier circuit) and generate a harmonic current. Harmonic currents flow from the inverter to a power receiving point via a power transformer. The Harmonic Suppression Guidelines was established to protect other consumers from these outgoing harmonic currents. The three-phase 200 V input specifications 3.7 kW or lower were previously covered by "the Harmonic Suppression Guidelines for Household Appliances and General-purpose Products"...

Page 88
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.
Failsafe system which uses the inverter Failsafe system which uses the inverter When a fault is detected by the protective function, the protective function is activated 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 90
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 (Y12) signal is output when the inverter operates and current flows into the motor. Check if the Y12 signal is being output while inputting a start signal to the inverter.

Inspection item 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 power in the control circuit. Adverse effects from ripple currents deteriorate capacitors.
Inspection item 5.1.7 Removal and reinstallation of the control circuit terminal block The FR-A800 series inverter has a removable control circuit terminal block, which can be replaced with a new one or a control terminal option. Removal and reinstallation 1) Loosen the two mounting screws at the both side of the control circuit terminal block. (These screws cannot be removed.) Slide down the control circuit terminal block to remove it.
Measurement of main circuit voltages, currents and powers Measurement of main circuit voltages, currents and powers Since the voltages and currents on the inverter power supply and output sides include harmonics, measurement data depends on the instruments used and circuits measured. When instruments for commercial frequency are used for measurement, measure the following circuits with the instruments given on the next page.

Measurement of main circuit voltages, currents and powers Measuring points and instruments Item Measuring point Measuring instrument Remarks (reference measured value) Power supply Across R/L1 and S/L2, Commercial power supply voltage S/L2 and T/L3, Within permissible AC voltage fluctuation (Refer T/L3 and R/L1 page 110.)
Measurement of main circuit voltages, currents and powers ∗1 Use an FFT to measure the output voltage accurately. A tester or general measuring instrument cannot measure accurately. ∗2 When the carrier frequency exceeds 5 kHz, do not use this instrument since using it may increase eddy current losses produced in metal parts inside the instrument, leading to burnout.
Measurement of main circuit voltages, currents and powers 5.2.6 Measurement of inverter output frequency In the initial setting of the FM-type inverter, a pulse train proportional to the output frequency is output across the pulse train output terminals FM and SD of the inverter. This pulse train output can be counted by a frequency counter, or a digital multimeter can be used to read the mean value of the pulse train output voltage.
