What voltage does the FR-A720-1 require?

The FR-A720-1 operates on 200-240V, 3-phase input at 50/60 Hz frequency.

What size motor can this inverter control?

The 1.5kW (1.5 horsepower) rating matches 3-phase motors up to 1.5kW at rated conditions.

Is the FR-A720-1 still available new?

No, this model is end-of-life. Mitsubishi recommends the FR-A740 or FR-A8 series as modern replacements with enhanced features.

What applications is this drive suitable for?

Common applications include HVAC units, centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyors, and general industrial machinery requiring adjustable speed control.

Does it support communication networks?

The FR-A720-1 features Mitsubishi-proprietary multi-function terminals for discrete signal control. Advanced networking requires compatible adapters.

What kind of motor control does it provide?

The drive uses vector control technology for precise torque and speed regulation, enabling efficient energy use across varying loads.

Can it be mounted in tight spaces?

Yes. Its compact dimensions (340 x 130 x 170 mm) and light weight (4.5 kg) allow flexible mounting on walls or DIN rail.

What is the expected lifespan?

With proper installation and maintenance, the FR-A720-1 typically operates 10-15 years. Capacitor replacement may be needed after 5-7 years in high-temperature environments.
