What this 15 kW drive is for
The FR-A740-15K is a 15 kW, 400 V class, 50 Hz inverter from the Mitsubishi FR-A700 series — a general-purpose drive family built for induction motor control in conveyor, pump, fan, and compressor applications that need reliable speed regulation and a robust power stage. Rated speed is 1500 r/min, matching a standard 4-pole motor at 50 Hz line supply — the drive can run the motor above base speed up to 3000 r/min where the load permits.
End-of-life — sourcing reality
Availability is limited to independent surplus and broker stock. Quantities are lot-specific, and current pricing is confirmed at RFQ — no stock-holding claim is made here.
The FR-A740-15K is a panel-mount drive — no DIN-rail clip. It bolts into the enclosure backplate, and the power wiring (400 V three-phase input, motor output) runs through the screw terminals on the main bus bar. The control wiring lands on the plug-in terminal block for the I/O and fieldbus interface.
