Mitsubishi FR-E800 E-300 Inverter 0.75kW

Mitsubishi FR-E820-0.75K Variable Frequency Drive — Compact, Cost-Effective Speed Control for Saudi Industrial Applications

The Mitsubishi FR-E820-0.75K (0.75kW / 1HP) is part of the FR-E800 E-300 series — Mitsubishi's most economical inverter platform for basic speed control applications. At 0.75kW, this inverter is the right choice for small fans, water pumps, conveyor drives, and simple mixer drives commonly found in Saudi MRO environments: small processing workshops in Jeddah's industrial areas, municipal water pumping stations, and HVAC fan control in commercial buildings.

Despite its economy positioning, the FR-E800 offers built-in Modbus RTU (via RS-485 terminal), PID control for pressure/flow loops, and IP20 protection. The FR-E820-0.75K runs on three-phase 380–480V AC input, making it compatible with Saudi Arabia's standard 400V industrial power distribution system.

Key Features for Saudi Applications

Built-in PID Controller: Direct pressure/flow control without external PLC — ideal for SWCC water pumping stations and Aramco utility water systems that need to maintain constant pressure despite variable demand.

Modbus RTU RS-485: Simple serial communication with PLCs or SCADA systems commonly used in Saudi municipal and industrial facilities.

Energy Savings Mode: Automatic energy optimization for pump and fan applications — reduces electricity consumption by up to 30%.

400V Three-Phase Compatible: Runs on Saudi Arabia's standard 380–480V industrial power without transformers.

Applications in Saudi Arabia

Municipal Water Pumping: SWCC booster stations and NWC (National Water Company) pumping stations use FR-E820-0.75K for constant pressure control in distribution networks across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam.

HVAC Fan Control: Commercial building AHU fans in Saudi offices, malls, and hotels — energy reduction during off-peak hours delivers significant electricity cost savings.

Jeddah Industrial Workshops: Small CNC machines, workshop fans, and simple production line drives in Jeddah's small-scale manufacturing sector.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can the FR-E800 be programmed without a PC? Yes — the built-in operating panel (PU controller) allows parameter setting, motor auto-tuning, and operation directly from the keypad. For more complex setups, FR Configurator 2 software connects via USB.

Q2: Is the FR-E800 compatible with Siemens PLCs via Modbus? Yes — the built-in Modbus RTU on the RS-485 terminal is compatible with any Modbus RTU master including Siemens S7-1200 (via Modbus RTU CM1241), Schneider M241, and Mitsubishi iQ-R.

Q3: What is the typical lead time for FR-E820-0.75K in Saudi Arabia? RAZZ stocks FR-E800 series in Jeddah and Dammam. Standard delivery 1–3 business days. Project quantities (10+ units) available with 7–10 day lead time.
