FRN0004C2S-2U

The FRENIC-Mini (C2) is a general purpose micro drive that is easy to use and packed with features in a compact housing.

Standard functions of the FRENIC-Mini include high starting torque, synchronous motor control, optimum energy savings, PID control and built-in Modbus RTU.

The standard rating on the FRENIC-Mini is IP20 UL Open Type (UL50). The optional NEMA/UL Type 1 kit allows you to use this drive in stand alone applications and is used for finger protection for indoor use. There is also a DIN rail adapter (up to 5hp) and a remote/USB keypad accessory.

The FRENIC-Mini is available in:

• 1 phase, 115V from 1/8 to 1hp
• 1 phase, 230V from 1/8 to 3hp
• 3 phase, 230V from 1/8 to 20hp
• 3 phase, 460V from 1/8 to 20hp

The Fuji FRENIC-Mini has a simplified torque vector control system with automatic torque boost function. 

• Fan, Pump applications: automatic energy-saving function, PID control function, and cooling fan ON/OFF control function
• Target industries include transverse conveyors, conveyors for food processing, mixers, chemical equipment and wood processing machines

With improved voltage control capability and reduced motor instability at low speed (about half compared with that of conventional models at 1Hz), the Mini can be used to drive mixers, chemical equipment, wood processing machines and a range of other applications.

Fuji is the world's top manufacturer of general purpose inverters in the 5hp or below class!

Effective July 1, 2015: FRENIC-Mini now has the following features (Part Number changed from 'C1S' to 'C2S':)

• Compatible with Fuji Electric's loader software
