FAQs
This model is designed as a wall-mounted LV AC drive with standard IP21 protection and supports optional IP55 and flange mounting configurations. It operates at 230 V AC and rated current of 6.7 A, delivering 1.1 kW of output. For a reliable installation, ensure proper wiring per IEC references, provide secure mounting on a clean surface, and verify compatible motors with the 1.1 kW rating to prevent overloading. Refer to the Drive Composer toolkit for wiring diagrams and parameter presets to match pump duty cycles.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates flow rate by analyzing motor performance and pump characteristics, eliminating the need for separate flow meters in many configurations. This reduces hardware cost, simplifies installation, and enables real-time monitoring of pump performance. In wastewater and water networks, it improves control accuracy during variable demand, supports energy optimization, and helps detect abnormal flow patterns early to prevent surge conditions.
Yes, the drive supports multipump control, allowing coordinated sequencing and optimization of several pumps. This reduces unnecessary pump starts and stops, lowers energy consumption, and extends motor and pump life. When designing a multi-pump setup, configure inter-pump sequencing in Drive Composer and use level control feedback to ensure smooth transitions between pumps based on demand and tank levels.
The base unit is IP21, suitable for indoor installation. Optional IP55 enclosure and flange-mount configurations provide protection for more demanding environments and alternative mounting arrangements. This flexibility makes it easier to integrate the drive into existing plant layouts, control rooms, or outdoor cabinets while maintaining proper protection for electrical components.
Expect reduced energy costs from optimized pump running, lowered maintenance due to dry run protection and smoother start-ups, and longer pump life from gentler ramps and protective features. The built‑in energy calculator and Drive Composer tool streamline commissioning and ongoing tuning, reducing engineering time and enabling rapid ROI justification for water/wastewater projects.
