Accepted Answer

Yes, SISL is an authorized Mitsubishi Electric distributor in Bangladesh. All our VFDs including FR-A840-160K-1 are 100% original Japan products with proper documentation and warranty.

Question 8

How much energy can I save with FR-A840-160K-1?

Accepted Answer

VFDs typically save 20-50% energy in pump and fan applications. The FR-A840-160K-1 features optimal excitation control and energy-saving algorithms that automatically reduce power consumption during light load conditions.

Question 9

What is the starting torque of FR-A800?

Accepted Answer

The FR-A800 series provides up to 250% starting torque, making it ideal for demanding applications like cranes, hoists, and extruders that require high torque at low speeds.

Question 10

What network protocols does FR-A800 support?

Accepted Answer

FR-A800 supports multiple industrial networks including CC-Link IE TSN, EtherNet/IP, Profinet, Modbus TCP, and DeviceNet. This flexibility allows easy integration into any factory automation system.

Question 11

Does FR-A800 support sensorless and sensored vector control?

Accepted Answer

Yes, FR-A800 supports both sensorless and sensored (with encoder feedback) vector control modes. Sensored mode provides even better torque accuracy and speed regulation for precision applications.

Question 12

Is VFD and inverter the same thing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) and inverter are the same thing. Other names include variable speed drive (VSD), AC drive, adjustable frequency drive (AFD), and frequency converter. All refer to devices that control motor speed by varying frequency.

Question 13

Which is better: VFD or soft starter?

Accepted Answer

VFD provides continuous speed control and energy savings, while soft starter only reduces starting current. For applications requiring variable speed or energy efficiency (pumps, fans), VFD is better. For fixed-speed applications with occasional starts, soft starter may be more economical.

Question 14

How to select VFD size for motor?

Accepted Answer

Match VFD rated current to motor full-load current (FLA) with 10-20% safety margin. For 160kW motor, FR-A840-160K-1 with 432A output is recommended. Always verify motor nameplate and application requirements.
