Cubical flushed with success
December 1st 2006

Mitsubishi Electric has announced the launch of a new series of easy-instalation space-saving free-standing cubic drives. Incorporation the latest energy-saving FRF7000 variable speed drives, the F700 FSU (floor standing unit) is designed to provide a total solution without the need or cost of building a special panel.

The F700 FSU encompasses the range from 45 KW up to 630 KW and provides a cost effective AC-in, AC-out solution for IP20 stand alone use, such as in a control room.

Assembly and installation usually takes less than an hour with the unit being delivered in easy to handle, pre-drilled sections.

The drive is suitable for a wide range of applications from fans and pumps, conveyors and hydraulics to compressors, pumps and blowers.

The completed unit incorporates a DC choke for reduced harmonics and, if required, an optional high specification EMC filter to meet RF levels specified by EN 61800- 3 standard Environment 2. The F700 FSU is for stand alone floor mounting (with an enclosed rear), can be wall mounted and comes in two sizes (1.65m and 1.9m).

As standard, the F700 unit incorporates an FR-DUO7 operator keypad that is quick and easy to use. The setting dial allows speedy entry of parameter values,with typical set-up being less than 10 minutes. The unit also gives monitoring of I/O, power consumption and energy savings.

The latter derives from the pioneering Optimum Excitation Control that is unique to Mitsubishi Electric FR-F700 inverter drives. By ensuring that optimum flux is delivered to the motor at all times, the drives deliver power savings of around 10% across the spee
