FAQs
Installation begins with verifying supply voltage, current capacity, and enclosure suitability. Connect the drive to a three-phase supply, wire the motor to the output, and configure basic parameters such as rated power and current limits. Use STO safety features, ensure proper grounding, and align with your PLC or HMI for seamless control. Commissioning should include a ramp-up profile, torque limits, and fault handling tests to prevent nuisance trips during startup.
This drive delivers a nominal power rating of 1100 kW with an input current capacity of 1530 A, enabling robust control of large motors. Expect precise speed and torque regulation, smooth acceleration and deceleration, and improved process stability. Energy efficiency benefits come from optimized motor current profiles, while protection features help extend motor life under peak loads and variable duty cycles.
Yes. The 1100 kW, 1530 A capability is well-suited for large pumps, conveyors, and other high-current machinery. The drive’s control algorithms support smooth torque delivery and ramping to handle varying loads, reducing mechanical stress and energy waste. Its modular design and robust protection make it a reliable choice for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.
Verify CE conformity for Europe and applicable UL/CSA listings for North America, along with any region-specific standards. Certification availability can depend on configuration and options.
