LONGER LASTING, DEEPER DRILLING
ARC-RESISTANT, ADJUSTABLE-FREQUENCY
SC9000 encapsulated power-pole (EP), arc-resistant, adjustable-frequency drive is reported to be the first fully integrated, arc-resistant, medium-voltage (MV) drive certified to Canadian Standards Association's (CSA) C22.2 No.22-11 standard, and witness-tested to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) C37.20.7 standard through extensive assessment at a third-party laboratory. It's engineered with a robust, arc-resistant, Type 2B enclosure to provide the strength needed to resist forces of arc events up to 50 kiloamperes (kA). SC9000 also meets the IEEE 519 guideline for harmonic control and reactive compensation of static-power converters. It's also certified to Underwriters Laboratories' (UL) 347A standard for MV power conversion equipment, as well as Canadian Underwriters Laboratories' (cUL) standards, and it's restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) compliant.Eaton800-386-1911

LOW-COST, CORROSION PROTECTION
PAT 44X-10 series compact, lightweight, low-cost, NEMA 4X-rated DC drives are designed to deliver longer life, better performance and higher corrosion resistance. They accept 115- or 230-V AC inputs for operating 90- and 180-V DC permanent-magnet or shunt-wound DC motors (50, 100 and 200 V DC field voltages) from 1/8 to 2 horsepower. PAT series has the same bolt-in form factors as competitive drives to make changeover easy and cost effective. They also feature power and current-limit LEDs, line fuses, inhibit pins for remote start/stop, and a front-cover-mounted speed potentiometer and on/off switch. Setup is simple with trimmer pot adjustments for minimum speed, maximum speed, acceleration, deceleration, IR compensation and current limit. American Control Electronics844-262-6875

AC DRIVE SAVES ENERGY
Vacon 100 AC drive is a multipurpose, energy-saving drive that's easily installed, simple to operate, and can be rapidly optimized to suit many process control needs. It's ideal for constant power/torque applications; achieves greater than 97% efficiency, and delivers low cost of ownership for many applications. Besides saving energy, they drives can also upgrade existing production machinery. Vacon 100 also offers safety features, such as safe torque off, Safe Stop 1 and ATEX-certified motor over-temperature protection. Standard features include built-in I/O with three option slots, integrated RS-485 and Ethernet-based fieldbus support, and conformal coating. Dedicated features for pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors are available.Vacon

SLIM INVERTERS SAVE ENERGY, OPTIMIZE CONTROL
Low-voltage Frenic-HVAC drives are slim-type inverters designed for energy savings and optimal control of fan and pump applications. Key features include a real-time clock, four PID controls, torque vector control, removable keypad, fire mode and filter-clogging-prevention. They monitor capacitors and other critical components, while maintenance alarms alert users before outages occur. Frenic-HVAC's mean time between failure (MTBF) rating of 398,964 hours means less unplanned downtime, while its modular construction reduces maintenance time.Fuji Electric Corp. of America(732) 560-9410

REDUCED HARMONICS, REGENERATION
U1000 Industrial Matrix Drive is reported to be Yaskawa's greenest drive ever due to its low harmonic distortion and regeneration in a space-saving design that doesn't need added components. U1000's Matrix technology uses nine bi-directional switches arranged in a matrix to convert three-phase AC input voltage directly into three-phase AC output voltage, which eliminates the need for a rectifying circuit and DC smoothing circuit used in traditional AC drive “inverters.” The result is a compact drive with full regenerative capability and reduced harmonic distortion. U1000 is available in the following voltage and power ranges: 240-V class with 10-100 hp normal duty and 7.5-75 hp heavy duty, and 480-V class with 7.5-350 hp normal duty and 5-300 hp heavy duty.Yaskawa America Inc.
