Mitsubishi inverters are among the most widely used in the market, with the A500 and E500 series being the most common. The A500 series is designed for general-purpose applications that require high starting torque and fast dynamic response. On the other hand, the E500 series is ideal for simpler applications where performance demands are lower, and cost-effectiveness is a priority. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at some of the common faults seen in these models and how to address them. One frequent issue is the OC1 or OC3 fault, which indicates an overcurrent condition. This can occur due to several reasons. For example, improper parameter settings—like a too short acceleration time—can trigger the fault. External factors such as a short circuit in the motor winding (e.g., phase-to-phase or ground short) may also be to blame. Additionally, internal hardware problems like damaged sensors or IGBT modules could cause this issue. In some cases, even after ruling out these common causes, the OC fault may still persist. Replacing the control board might not always resolve the issue, so it's important to check the drive circuit. The A500 series has a highly sophisticated detection system, and any problem within the drive circuit—such as issues with the optocoupler, power supply, or signal feedback—can lead to the fault. If initial troubleshooting doesn’t work, paying close attention to the drive circuit components is essential. Another common fault is UVT, or undervoltage. This typically occurs when the DC bus voltage drops below the expected level. The voltage is sampled through a resistor divider and compared against a reference value. In Mitsubishi A500 inverters, the voltage sampling is done from the switching power supply side and isolated via an optocoupler. During maintenance, we often find that damaged optocouplers are a major cause of this fault. This issue was less common in older models but has become more prevalent in recent repairs. E6 and E7 faults are also well-known among users. These errors usually indicate a communication or signal issue between the CPU and the drive board. One possible cause is damage to the 1302H02 integrated circuit, which handles waveform conversion and multiple detection signals. Any malfunction in this IC can trigger E6 or E7 alarms. Another common cause is damage to the optocouplers used for signal isolation. Poor connections or faulty connectors can also contribute to these faults, especially if cables are bent or pins are misaligned. Switching power supply failures are another frequent problem in A500 inverters. Common components that may fail include the switching FET, start-up resistor, and rectifier diodes. The M51996 waveform generator chip is also prone to failure. This chip controls timing, voltage regulation, and feedback mechanisms. Issues with its power supply (pin 14), voltage reference (pin 7), feedback input (pin 5), or waveform output (pin 2) can all lead to system malfunctions. Power module damage is more commonly seen in the E500 series. For low-power units, the power module is often an intelligent unit that integrates the power device and monitoring circuits. Once damaged, it must be replaced, which can be costly. However, for higher power models like the 5.5KW and 7.5KW E500 inverters, the 7MBR series PIM modules offer a more cost-effective replacement option. Mitsubishi Electric has a long history of innovation and continues to develop advanced products and systems that meet the evolving needs of the industry.
