FR-E840-0040-4-60 FREQROL-E800 1.5kW/2.2kW 400V Inverter | Mitsubishi

The Original New Mitsubishi FR-E840-0040-4-60 is a three-phase 400 V class inverter from the FREQROL-E800 series, Mitsubishi Electric's next-generation compact drive platform. It delivers a normal duty (ND) rating of 1.5 kW / 4.0 A and a light duty (LD) rating of 2.2 kW / 5.5 A, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial motor control applications. The drive supports both induction motors and permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motors, with advanced control methods including Real Sensorless Vector Control, Magnetic Flux Vector Control, and PM Sensorless Vector Control. Built-in Safe Torque Off (STO) safety function, RS-485 Modbus-RTU communication, and a 2K-step PLC function reduce the need for external components, while the spring clamp terminal block enables tool-free wiring for faster commissioning. This model serves as the direct replacement for the discontinued FR-E740-1.5K series.
