FAQs
The drive is designed for LV wall-mounted installations and supports a 575 V three-phase supply with 242 A current, featuring an IP21 standard enclosure and optional IP55 flange configurations to suit harsher environments and space-constrained plant layouts.
Sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, and quick ramps reduce cycling losses and water hammer, while the built-in energy calculator quantifies potential savings for ROI tracking.
Yes. The drive supports standard LV electrical interfaces, wall-mounted installation, and is aided by the Hand-Off-Auto panel and Drive Composer PC tool for straightforward commissioning and PLC/SCADA integration.
Absolutely. Multipump control sequences pumps efficiently to meet demand, maintain system pressure, and minimize energy usage in parallel pumping configurations.
Dry-run protection reduces pump damage, sensorless control lowers instrumentation needs, and energy savings accumulate over time, delivering favorable payback with predictable operating costs and reduced downtime.
