Why does hunting (vibration or acoustic noise) occur in the motor or the machine of my Mitsubishi Electric FR-E820-0330E?
- D
  David StricklandAug 14, 2025
  Hunting in your Mitsubishi Electric Inverter's motor or machine can occur due to several reasons: * The speed control gain might be too high. Try setting Pr.820 lower and Pr.821 higher. * The torque control gain might be too high. Try setting Pr.824 Torque control P gain 1 (current loop proportional gain) lower. * The motor wiring might be incorrect. Verify the wiring.

What to do if motor speed fluctuates in Mitsubishi Electric Inverter?
- W
  William RamirezAug 17, 2025
  If the motor speed fluctuates with your Mitsubishi Electric Inverter, consider the following: * Check that the speed command sent from the controller is correct and take EMC measures. Also, try setting Pr.72 lower and Pr.822 Speed setting filter 1 higher. * Torque shortage can cause speed fluctuations. Raise the torque limit. * The speed control gain might not be suitable for the machine, potentially causing resonance. Adjust Pr.820 Speed control P gain 1 and Pr.821 Speed control integral time 1.

Why Mitsubishi Electric FR-E820-0330E motor does not run at the correct speed?
- S
  Sheila KochAug 21, 2025
  If your Mitsubishi Electric Inverter motor isn't running at the correct speed, it could be due to: * The speed command from the controller differing from the actual speed, possibly affected by noise. Ensure the speed command is correct and implement EMC measures. You can also lower the setting of Pr.72 PWM frequency selection. * An incorrect setting for the number of encoder pulses. Verify the Pr.369 setting (under Vector control). * A difference between the command speed and the speed recognized by the inverter. Readjust the bias and gain (Pr.125, Pr.126, C2 (Pr.902) to C7 (Pr.905)) of the speed command. * Motor constant variations due to increased motor temperature. Enable online auto-tuning at startup by setting Pr.95 (Pr.574) = "1" (under Real sensorless vector control).

Why doesn't the speed accelerate to the command speed in my Mitsubishi Electric FR-E820-0330E?
- S
  Samantha GonzalezAug 25, 2025
  If the speed of your Mitsubishi Electric Inverter does not accelerate to the command speed, it may be due to: * Torque shortage or the torque limit operating. Try raising the torque limit or increasing the capacity. * Only P (proportional) control being performed. Speed deviation occurs under P control when the load is heavy, so select PI control.

What causes unstable machine movement with a Mitsubishi Electric FR-E820-0330E?
- M
  Michael SalasAug 28, 2025
  Unstable machine movement with a Mitsubishi Electric Inverter can be caused by: * Speed control gain that is not suitable for the machine. Adjust Pr.820 and Pr.821. * Slow response due to the inverter's acceleration/deceleration time setting. Set the optimum acceleration/deceleration time.

Why is the acceleration/deceleration time different from the setting on my Mitsubishi Electric FR-E820-0330E Inverter?
- J
  Jacqueline FitzgeraldSep 1, 2025
  If the acceleration/deceleration time differs from the setting on your Mitsubishi Electric Inverter, it might be due to: * Torque shortage. Try raising the torque limit. * Load inertia being too high. Set acceleration/deceleration time suitable for the load.

How to resolve rotation ripple during low-speed operation of Mitsubishi Electric Inverter?
- J
  Justin RichmondSep 5, 2025
  To resolve rotation ripple during low-speed operation of your Mitsubishi Electric Inverter: * A high carrier frequency may be affecting the motor rotation. Try setting Pr.72 lower. * The speed control gain might be too low. Set Pr.820 higher.
