The inverter accepts a variety of stand-alone option units as required.
Incorrect connection will cause inverter damage or accident. Connect and operate the option unit carefully in accordance with the corresponding option unit manual.
2.5.1 Connection of the dedicated external brake resistor (FR-ABR)
The built-in brake resistor is connected across terminals P/+ and PR. Fit the external dedicated brake resistor (FR- ABR) when the built-in brake resistor does not have enough thermal capability for high-duty operation (22K or lower).
At this time, remove the jumper from across terminals PR and PX (7.5K or lower) and connect the dedicated brake resistor (FR-ABR) across terminals P/+ and PR.
(For the locations of terminal P/+ and PR, refer to the terminal block layout (page 16).)
Removing jumpers across terminals PR and PX disables the built-in brake resistor (power is not supplied).
Note that the built-in brake resistor is not need to be removed from the inverter.
The lead wire of the built-in brake resistor is not need to be removed from the terminal.
Set parameters below.

2.5.5 Connection of the high power factor converter (FR-HC/MT-HC)
When connecting the high power factor converter (FR-HC/MT-HC) to suppress power harmonics, perform wiring securely as shown below.
Incorrect connection will damage the high power factor converter and inverter.
(1) Connection with the FR-HC (55K or lower)
After making sure the wiring is correct, set the following parameters.
Pr. 19 Base frequency voltage (under V/F control) or Pr. 83 Rated motor voltage (under a control method other than V/F control) = "rated motor voltage"
Pr. 30 Regenerative function selection = "2"
*1 When the power supply is 400V class, install a step-down transformer.
*2 For capacity 7.5K or lower, remove the jumper across terminals PR and PX.
CAUTION
⋅ The wiring distance between the inverter, brake unit and resistor unit should be within 2m. If twisted wires are used, the distance should be within 5m.
⋅ If the transistors in the brake unit should become faulty, the resistor can be unusually hot, causing a fire. Therefore, install a magnetic contactor on the inverter's power supply side to configure a circuit so that a current is shut off in case of fault.
⋅ Do not remove a jumper across terminal P/+ and P1 except when connecting a DC reactor.
*1 Remove the jumpers across the inverter terminals R/L1 and R1/L11, S/L2 and S1/L21, and connect the control circuit power supply to the R1/L11 and S1/L21 terminals. Always keep the power input terminals R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 open. Incorrect connection will damage the inverter. (E.OPT (option alarm) will occur. (Refer to page 412.))
*2 Do not insert the MCCB between terminals P/+ and N/- (P/+ and P/+, N/- and N/-). Opposite polarity of terminals N/-, P/+ will damage the inverter.
*3 Use Pr. 178 to Pr. 189 (input terminal function selection) to assign the terminals used for the X10 (X11) signal. (Refer to page 231)
For communication where the start command is sent only once, e.g. RS-485 communication operation, use the X11 signal when making setting to hold the mode at occurrence of an instantaneous power failure. (Refer to page 209.)

2.5.6 Connection of the power regeneration common converter (FR-CV)
When connecting the power regeneration common converter (FR-CV), make connection so that the inverter terminals (P/+, N/-) and the terminal symbols of the power regeneration common converter (FR-CV) are the same (55K or lower).
After making sure that the wiring is correct, set "2" in Pr. 30 Regenerative function selection. (Refer to page 207.)
*1 Remove the jumpers across terminals R/L1 and R1/L11 and S/L2 and S1/L21 of the inverter, and connect the control circuit power supply across terminals R1/L11 and S1/L21. Always keep the power input terminals R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 open.
Incorrect connection will damage the inverter. (E.OPT (option alarm) will occur. (Refer to page 412))
*2 Do not insert the MCCB between the terminals P/+ and N/- (between P/L+ and P/+, between N/L- and N/-). Opposite polarity of terminals N/-, P/+ will damage the inverter.
*3 Assign the terminal for X10 signal using any of Pr. 178 to Pr. 189 (input terminal function selection). (Refer to page 231)
*4 Be sure to connect the power supply and terminals R/L11, S/L21, T/MC1.
Operating the inverter without connecting them will damage the power regeneration common converter.
*5 Always connect the terminal RDYB (of FR-CV) to a terminal where the X10 or MRS signal is assigned in the inverter.
Always connect the terminal SE (of FR-CV) to the terminal SD (of the inverter). Not doing so may damage FR-CV.
CAUTION
⋅ The voltage phases of terminals R/L11, S/L21, T/MC1 and terminals R2/L1, S2/L2, T2/L3 must be matched.
⋅ Use sink logic (factory setting) when the FR-CV is connected. The FR-CV cannot be connected when source logic is selected.
⋅ Do not connect a DC reactor to the inverter when FR-CV is connected.
⋅ Do not remove a jumper across terminal P/+ and P1.

2.5.7 Connection of power regeneration converter (MT-RC)
When connecting a power regeneration converter (MT-RC), perform wiring securely as shown below. Incorrect connection will damage the regeneration converter and inverter (75K or higher). After connecting securely, set "1" in Pr.
30 Regenerative function selection and "0" in Pr. 70 Special regenerative brake duty.
2.5.8 Connection of the power factor improving DC reactor (FR-HEL)
(1) Keep the surrounding air temperature within the permissible range (-10°C to +50°C). Keep enough clearance around the reactor because it heats up. (Take 10cm or more clearance on top and bottom and 5cm or more on left and right regardless of the installation direction.)
(2) When using the DC reactor (FR-HEL), connect it between terminals P1 and P/+.
For the 55K or lower, the jumper connected across terminals P1 and P/+ must be removed. Otherwise, the reactor will not exhibit its performance.
For the 75K or higher, a DC reactor is supplied. Always install the reactor.
CAUTION
⋅ When using the FR-A700 series together with the MT-RC, install a magnetic contactor (MC) at the input side of the inverter so that power is supplied to the inverter after 1s or more has elapsed after powering ON the MT-RC. When power is supplied to the inverter prior to the MT-RC, the inverter and the MT-RC may be damaged or the MCCB may trip or be damaged.
⋅ Refer to the MT-RC manual for precautions for connecting the power coordination reactor and others.
CAUTION
⋅ The wiring distance should be within 5m.
⋅ The size of the cables used should be equal to or larger than that of the power supply cables (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3). (Refer to page 19) DCL
