Variable Frequency Drives

AC Technology, a member of the Lenze Group (Uxbridge, MA), has introduced the SMVector drive, featuring a power range of up to 20 Hp. Four modes (v/Hz, enhanced V/Hz, vector speed, and torque), high starting torque, auto-tuning, low-speed control, and dynamic speed regulation are provided. The unit’s input voltage ranges from 120 VAC 1-phase to 600 VAC, 3-phase. The drive also includes an Electronic Programming Module, which is the drive’s memory in a removable chip, allowing users to program multiple drives quickly.
