Mitsubishi FR-E800 Compact Inverter

The Mitsubishi FR-E800 Compact Inverter is the latest generation of Mitsubishi Electric's most popular compact drive family, engineered for the full breadth of light-industrial and commercial applications across Saudi Arabia's fast-growing manufacturing and building services sectors. Covering 0.1 kW to 15 kW on both 200 V and 400 V supply networks, the FR-E800 integrates sensorless vector control, a built-in EMC filter to EN 61800-3 Category C2, and a safe torque off (STO) function certified to SIL 2 / PLd in a package small enough to mount inside a standard cabinet with 30 mm side clearance. Its one-touch auto-tuning routine characterises the connected motor in under 60 seconds without the motor needing to rotate, slashing commissioning time on sites where rotating equipment tests are restricted for safety reasons — a common constraint in Saudi petrochemical plants and food-processing facilities.

The FR-E800 employs Mitsubishi's optimum excitation control algorithm, which continuously calculates the optimal motor excitation current to deliver maximum efficiency at every load point. Independent tests confirm energy savings of up to 17% versus constant V/f control on centrifugal pump loads at 80% rated speed — directly translating into reduced kWh costs under Saudi Electricity Company tariffs. The built-in PLC function (up to 128 steps of ladder logic) eliminates external sequencing relays for simple start/stop, speed selection, and alarm logic, reducing panel component count. Communication options include RS-485 Modbus RTU as standard, with optional CC-Link, PROFIBUS-DP, EtherNet/IP, and LONWORKS modules for integration into any plant-wide automation architecture.

Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 industrial diversification programme is driving rapid investment in light manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and logistics across MODON industrial cities from Riyadh to Jeddah, Dammam, and Yanbu. The FR-E800 is the standard compact inverter specification for conveyor lines, packaging machines, small pump sets, and exhaust fans in these facilities, chosen for its compact DIN-rail-compatible footprint, 50°C rated ambient operation without derating, and Mitsubishi's proven reliability track record in the GCC. NWC (National Water Company) contractors also deploy FR-E800 units in district pressure-boosting stations and small irrigation pump panels across Saudi municipalities.

Razz Middle East stocks the full FR-E800 range — single-phase 200 V (FR-E820S) and three-phase 400 V (FR-E840) — in Riyadh for immediate delivery across the Kingdom. Our engineers provide panel-mount installation guidance, parameter backup, and remote commissioning support. All units carry Mitsubishi Electric's standard 18-month warranty, and Razz offers extended service contracts to 36 months. SAR pricing is available within 4 hours of RFQ submission. Contact our Riyadh office for volume pricing on projects exceeding 10 units.
