Variable Frequency Drives Improve Motor Efficiency
The A800 series all-in-one variable frequency drive (VFD) from Mitsubishi Electric Automation combines traditional induction and permanent magnet motors into a single inverter for high-performance response and energy-efficient motor control.
The A800 series all-in-one variable frequency drive (VFD) from Mitsubishi Electric Automation combines traditional induction and permanent magnet motors into a single inverter for high-performance response and energy-efficient motor control.
Suitable for motor control applications that demand increased motor efficiency and energy savings, the A800 series can serve as a replacement for systems such as hydraulic drives and gear motors in the process and material handling industries, among others. According to the company, the series is suitable for low-performance applications, such as pumps and fans, as well as high-performance industrial applications. The VFD’s flexibility across a number of different applications and motor types can lead to reduced training, inventory and long-term support.
The drives are designed to meet the need for multiple-capacity VFDs for OEMs, end users and systems integrators, and can be used in both induction motors and next-generation interior permanent motors. Traditional chassis, large system/component, and fully enclosed, severe environment styles are offered, in 200-, 400-, 575- and 690-V classes. The VFD also provides adaptable connectivity and communication options.
