Mitsubishi Electric Inverters
Mitsubishi Electric began manufacturing drives in 1981 and is now not only our trusted supplier for inverters but also the World’s No.1 manufacturer by volume.
Mitsubishi Inverter Product Range
The DEAF range: D800, E800, F800, A800
DEAF is an anagram for the ranges, consisting mainly of the latest 800 range, with new and exciting advancements such as AI integration. These are split into different families contingent on the application of the motor and its power.
D800
(Up to 7.5kW Single-phase 240VAC / 15kW Three-phase 415VAC)
Mitsubishi’s entry-level inverters provide versatile solutions suitable for a wide range of general-purpose motor speed control applications.
Commonly used in feeder and conveyor drives, machining tools, and gate and door operations.
E800
(Up to 22kW 3phase 415VAC)
The E800 is designed to reduce energy use and lower costs, combining advanced quality, performance and predictive maintenance.
Typical applications- transfer (production lines), lifts, food packing, machine tools, press and printing.
F800
(Up to 630kW Three-phase 415VAC)
Inverters for fans, pumps, and air conditioning.
These applications benefit from significant energy savings due to the cube law relationship, where a 10% reduction in speed can result in up to 30% energy savings
A800
(Up to 630k/W Three-phase 415VAC)
The A800 Series inverters are Mitsubishi Electric’s flagship models, offering high-performance solutions for demanding applications.
Commonly used in cranes, conveyors, and crushers, providing precise control and reliability in these critical operations
AI Intergration | 800 Series
Mitsubishi inverters’ AI will predict motor failures early (around a month in advance), therefore motors consequential to an operation can be quickly replaced or repaired, minimising downtime.
Main detected issues include:
- Bearing Failures
- Overheating (Thermal Issues)
- Insulation Breakdown
- Rotor and Stator Faults
- Voltage & Current Imbalances
- Mechanical Misalignment or Load Issues
Key Features
Fire Mode Enabled
The D&F 800 Series inverters feature ‘Fire Mode Enabled’ for emergencies. When activated, the inverter overrides standard protections and keeps the motor running under extreme conditions. It bypasses faults like overtemperature, overload, and voltage fluctuations to maintain operation, typically powering smoke extraction fans, emergency ventilation, or fire suppression systems.
Master-Slave Function
Easily manage multiple inverters with the Master-Slave function. Set one inverter as the master and the rest follow automatically, simplifying setup, maintenance, and ensuring all drives run in sync.
FR Configurator Software
Simplify setup with Mitsubishi Electric’s FR Configurator software. Configure drive parameters, optimise motor performance, and access key settings like speed, frequency, acceleration, and voltage limits. The interface highlights changes, includes AI diagnostics, and offers a simulation mode to test settings before applying. The mobile app lets you configure and monitor systems on the go.
Free On-Site Energy Monitoring
BAWCo provides a free on-site service to identify applications that can benefit from modern, energy-efficient solutions. Using our energy monitoring device, we assess whether IE3, IE4, or IE5* motors are best for your application and whether pairing them with an inverter will maximise energy savings. We calculate costs, payback periods, and potential savings, providing clear justification data for any upgrades.
We can run tests on-site or lend equipment to your engineers, all free of charge.
*IE5 motors, due to their design, will require an inverter to operate
Why Choose a Mitsubishi Inverter?
Energy saving
• Energy saving is a key reason for using an inverter, especially electric drives in the F800 series, which is mainly for fans and pumps.
• Traditional dampers are no longer common in the industrial industry.
• Two factors affect energy savings:
1. The size of the inverter
2. The ability of the process to allow a speed reduction
• Mitsubishi Electric provides an energy-saving calculator for specific energy calculations, applicable to any client’s specific application.
Improved Process Control & Efficiency
• Provides precise speed and torque control, which can be vital in industries such as woodworking.
• Reduces mechanical stress, leading to fewer breakdowns and less downtime.
Increased Equipment Lifespan
• Soft-start function prevents sudden power surges, reducing wear and tear.
• Minimises overheating and vibrations, leading to longer service life.
Better Power Factor & Reduced Demand Charges
• Optimises energy use, lowering peak demand charges in factories.
• Improves power stability and reliability, reducing strain on the grid.
Smooth Operation & Noise Reduction
• Eliminates sudden starts/stops, allowing motors to run quieter and smoother.
• Reduces vibrations, preventing damage to materials on conveyor belts.
