Mitsubishi FR-V500 FR-V520-1.5K Inverter F.A.Q.

How do I reset the Mitsubishi FR-V500 FR-V520-1.5K inverter to factory settings?

To reset the inverter to factory settings, turn off the power supply, press and hold the reset button located on the front panel, then turn the power back on while continuing to hold the button for at least 5 seconds until the display shows "F00". Release the button and the inverter will reset.

What should I do if the inverter displays an overcurrent fault?

First, check the motor and wiring for any short circuits or grounding issues. Ensure the load is within the inverter's specifications. If the problem persists, inspect the inverter's settings for any incorrect parameters and adjust them as necessary.

How can I program a specific acceleration time on the FR-V520-1.5K inverter?

Access the parameter settings by pressing the 'PU' button. Navigate to parameter 'C1' which controls acceleration time. Enter the desired time in seconds and press 'SET' to save the setting.

Why is the inverter not starting the motor?

Check if the run command has been given and if the input terminals are correctly wired. Ensure that all safety interlocks are closed and no error codes are displayed on the panel. Verify that the motor is properly connected and the inverter's output is not restricted.

What maintenance is required to ensure optimal performance of the FR-V500 inverter?

Regularly inspect the cooling fan for dust accumulation and clean it as needed. Check all electrical connections for tightness. Inspect the inverter for any signs of wear or damage, and ensure that the ambient temperature is within operational limits.

How do I connect the FR-V520-1.5K inverter to a PLC?

Use the RS-485 communication port to connect the inverter to the PLC. Ensure the communication settings such as baud rate and parity match between the devices. Use the inverter's manual to configure the appropriate parameters for communication.

Can I use the FR-V520-1.5K inverter with a single-phase input?

No, the FR-V520-1.5K inverter is designed for a three-phase input. Using a single-phase input can lead to improper functioning or damage. Always follow the manufacturer's specifications for input requirements.

What is the procedure for updating the firmware on the Mitsubishi FR-V500 inverter?

To update the firmware, download the latest firmware version from Mitsubishi's official website. Connect the inverter to a computer using the specified communication cable. Use the manufacturer's software to upload the firmware file to the inverter, following the on-screen instructions.

How can I monitor the output frequency of the inverter in real-time?

Use the monitor mode on the inverter's display panel by navigating to the frequency monitoring option. This will display the output frequency in real-time. Alternatively, connect the inverter to a monitoring system via communication protocols to track the frequency.

What should I do if the inverter overheats during operation?

Ensure that the cooling fan is operational and not obstructed. Check the installation environment for adequate ventilation and remove any heat sources nearby. Reduce the load if necessary, and allow the inverter to cool down before resuming operation.
