FR-A840-00038 — Mitsubishi FR-A800 Advanced Inverter
The Mitsubishi FR-A800 Advanced Inverter is Mitsubishi Electric's flagship general-purpose high-performance drive, delivering real sensorless vector control technology for demanding industrial applications that require fast dynamic response, high torque at low speed, and tight speed regulation without encoder feedback. Available from 0.4 kW to 90 kW on 400 V three-phase supply (FR-A840 series), the FR-A800 generates rated torque from 0.5 Hz in sensorless vector mode — enabling direct drive of heavily loaded conveyors, extruders, and winders from standstill without hunting or speed droop. Its speed response of 50 rad/s (sensorless) rivals the closed-loop performance of drives that require encoder feedback, significantly reducing installation cost on applications where fitting an encoder to the motor is impractical or expensive.
The FR-A800 integrates Mitsubishi's Advanced Magnetic Flux Vector control, which continuously estimates motor flux and adjusts voltage vector in real time to achieve torque ripple of less than 3% across the speed range. The built-in regenerative braking unit handles overhauling loads — crane hoists, inclined conveyors, centrifuge deceleration — returning energy to the DC bus rather than dissipating it in a brake resistor, improving overall system efficiency by up to 30% on high-cycle duty applications. Standard communication includes RS-485 Modbus RTU, with optional CC-Link IE Field Network, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS-DP, and PROFINET adapters available for direct integration into MELSEC PLC and third-party DCS architectures without gateway hardware.
Saudi Arabia's industrial modernisation under Vision 2030 is creating strong demand for high-performance drives in sectors ranging from automotive assembly at Al-Jubail manufacturing parks, to plastics and rubber processing in Riyadh industrial cities, to mining and minerals at Ma'aden phosphate and aluminium facilities in Al-Ba'itha. The FR-A800's ability to handle demanding dynamic loads — rapid acceleration/deceleration cycles, variable torque profiles, and high overload during starting — makes it the natural upgrade path for facilities replacing ageing DC drives or first-generation inverters. Saudi Aramco engineering standards for motor control in process utility systems accept the FR-A800 as a qualified product, and Mitsubishi's local type-testing documentation supports SEC and SASO compliance requirements.
Razz Middle East provides the FR-A800 with full parameter engineering services, including application-specific motor characterisation, acceleration/deceleration ramp design, and multi-speed preset configuration. Our drive engineers hold Mitsubishi Electric FA product certifications and can commission FR-A800 systems at any Saudi site. SAR pricing with 18-month warranty is available within 4 hours of RFQ. Razz also offers preventive maintenance contracts covering annual drive inspection, parameter backup, and cooling fan replacement.

Key Features & Benefits
- Real sensorless vector control achieves rated torque from 0.5 Hz and speed regulation of ±0.2% without encoder feedback, matching closed-loop performance at open-loop installation cost.
- Advanced Magnetic Flux Vector control reduces torque ripple to less than 3%, enabling smooth low-speed operation on precision conveyor, winder, and extruder applications.
- Built-in regenerative braking unit returns overhauling load energy to the DC bus rather than dissipating it in brake resistors, improving system efficiency by up to 30% on high-cycle duty.
- 150% overload capacity for 60 seconds absorbs heavy starting and shock loads on conveyors, crushers, and compressors without nuisance tripping.
- CC-Link IE Field Network and EtherNet/IP option cards enable direct integration into MELSEC iQ-R and third-party DCS systems without gateway hardware.
- Built-in STO function certified SIL 2 / PLd eliminates external safety relay hardware in many machine guarding applications.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Automotive body and assembly line conveyor drives at manufacturing parks in Jubail and Riyadh, where fast dynamic response and high starting torque reduce cycle time and improve throughput.
- Plastics extruder and injection moulding machine drives in MODON industrial cities, where the low torque ripple of Advanced Magnetic Flux Vector control improves product surface quality.
- Ma'aden phosphate and aluminium conveyor and crusher drives at Al-Ba'itha and Ras Al-Khair, where 150% overload capacity handles the high inertia of heavy mineral processing equipment.
- Crane hoist and gantry traverse drives in port facilities at King Abdulaziz Port, Dammam, where regenerative braking returns lowering energy to the supply and reduces operating costs.
- Centrifuge and decanter drives in industrial wastewater treatment and food processing, where precise speed control at low frequency enables consistent separation quality.
