The Fuji Electric FRN0037E3S-4G is a FRENIC-Ace E3 Basic type variable frequency drive for a three-phase 380 to 480 V supply, rated 11 kW (15 HP) at 24 A on the HHD specification and 15 kW (20 HP) at 35 A on the HND specification.
It is the 0037 capacity code in the three-phase 400 v FRENIC-Ace E3 lineup, supplied as the S (Basic type) enclosure with global English documentation. The drive uses fan cooling, is built to IP20 enclosed type and UL open type, and weighs 5.2 kg (11 lbs). A braking transistor is built in, and a DC reactor and braking resistor are available as options.
Specifications on this page are taken from the Fuji Electric FRENIC-Ace Series catalog, revision 24A1-E-0174c.
Best For

- Installations on a 3-Phase 380 to 480 V supply with an in-panel, IP20 mounting location
Warranty
Fuji Electric warrants this product for 1 year from the date of purchase or 24 months from the manufacturing date stamped on the nameplate, whichever comes first. Parts restored by Fuji Electric's Service Department carry a 6 month warranty from the date repairs are completed. The warranty does not cover breakdowns caused by use outside the conditions stated in the catalog or operation manual, by modification or repair by a third party, or by events outside Fuji Electric's responsibility.
Key Features
4 duty ratings in one drive
Selectable HHD / HND / HD / ND ratings let one drive cover a 11 kW (15 HP) HHD load at 24 A or a 15 kW (20 HP) HND load at 35 A.
Built-in braking transistor
A braking transistor is built in. Adding an optional braking resistor rated 40Ω minimum raises braking capability for frequent stops and high-inertia loads.
Output to 599 Hz
Maximum output frequency is 5 to 599 Hz, with base frequency variable across the same range for high-speed spindle and machine-tool work.
Carrier frequency up to 16 kHz
Carrier frequency is variable from 0.75 to 16 kHz on the HHD specification, so motor noise can be traded against thermal headroom.
Fine frequency resolution
Analog setting resolution is 1/3000 of maximum output frequency. Digital setting is 0.01 Hz below 99.99 Hz and 0.1 Hz from 100.0 to 599.0 Hz.
Fan cooled in an IP20 enclosure
This capacity uses fan cooling in an IP20 enclosed, UL open type housing for in-panel mounting. Unit weight is 5.2 kg (11 lbs).
