Active production, 400 V class, 1.6 A ND — what this VFD delivers
The FR-E840-0016-4-60 is a current-production Mitsubishi Electric AC drive from the FR-E800 series, rated for three-phase 400 V class input and delivering 1.6 A ND (normal duty) rated current. This places it as a compact VFD sized for small motor loads — typically 0.4 kW to 0.75 kW motors in pump, fan, or conveyor applications where the 400 V class line voltage matches European or Asian 380-480 V industrial mains.
Circuit board coating and plated conductor options
This variant includes circuit board coating (conformal coating) as standard, which protects the PCB from moisture, dust, and corrosive atmospheres — a practical choice for installations in humid or mildly aggressive environments like food processing or textile mills. The drive ships without plated conductors on the main circuit, which is the standard configuration for the FR-E800 series in this power class.
I/O configuration: source logic and safety stop
The control terminals are factory-set to source logic (PNP) for input signals, and the safety stop circuit is fixed to source logic as well — meaning the safety input expects a 24 VDC signal to enable drive operation. The initial frequency setting is 50 Hz, matching IEC-standard motor ratings. The analog output (terminal AM) provides a voltage signal for monitoring speed or load.
