VFD / AC Drive Panel
AC drive panels built around variable frequency drives to control motor speed, save energy on pumps and fans, and give smooth starting.
- Drive
- VFD rated to your motor
- Cooling
- Louvres and fans sized to drive losses
- Operating voltage
- 380 / 415 / 440 V AC, 3-phase, 4-wire
- Frequency
- 50 Hz
Overview
A variable frequency drive (VFD) controls a motor's speed by changing the frequency of its supply. On pumps and fans, running slower when full output isn't needed saves energy, and the gentle acceleration reduces mechanical stress.
Our AC drive panels house the drive with its protection, cooling and control wiring, ready to connect to your motor and automation system.
Key features
- Variable frequency drive with incoming protection
- Forced ventilation sized to the drive's heat load
- Local and remote speed control, with run and fault indication
- Bypass starter where specified
- Can be integrated with PLC control
