What it is and where it fits
The Mitsubishi FR-A840-00023-2-60 is a current-production 400V class inverter from the FR-A800 series, rated for SLD (Super Light Duty) duty. Its IP20 enclosure and self-cooling design make it suitable for installation inside a dry control cabinet — not in wash-down or wet zones. Rated for three-phase 380 to 500V AC input at 50/60Hz, this inverter handles supply fluctuations from 323 to 550V AC, giving headroom for industrial mains dips.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
This inverter is listed as current production — no phase-out notice, no last-time-buy clock. Sourced against an RFQ, quoted to order; typical lead time runs 1–10 working days under normal supply conditions.
Installation notes for a hygienic environment
IP20 means it must live inside a panel rated to the ambient conditions. The board coating helps against condensation and mild vapors, but this is not a drive you mount on the wall in a CIP zone. Place it in a clean, dry cabinet with adequate airflow — self-cooling relies on convection, so leave clearance above and below per the manual. No fan means no filter to clean and no bearing wear, which suits low-maintenance food-area cabinets.
