Industrial Applications

1. Conveyor Belt Speed Control in Manufacturing

This inverter precisely controls the speed of AC induction motors driving conveyor belt systems in manufacturing facilities. The sensorless vector control enables high torque at low speeds for starting heavy loads or maintaining consistent speeds with varying materials. The integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) function provides a critical safety mechanism for immediate, controlled stops in emergencies, safeguarding personnel and machinery.

Problem Solved

Provides precise speed and torque control for material handling, optimizing throughput, reducing mechanical wear, and ensuring operational safety during production and maintenance.

2. Fan and Pump Control in HVAC Systems

The inverter is well-suited for variable speed control of fans and pumps within industrial HVAC systems. Its 1.5 kW Low Overload (LO) rating is specifically designed for quadratic load applications typical of fans and pumps, allowing for significant energy savings. The integrated Class A filter ensures EMC compliance, while Modbus RTU communication facilitates seamless integration with Building Management Systems (BMS) for centralized control and monitoring.

Problem Solved

Optimizes energy consumption by dynamically adjusting fan and pump speeds according to demand, enhancing system efficiency, reducing operational costs, and maintaining a compliant electrical environment.

3. Small Mixer/Agitator Drives in Industrial Processes

For managing small to medium-sized mixers or agitators in general industrial process areas (excluding washdown zones due to IP20 rating), this frequency inverter provides reliable speed and torque management. The 380-480V three-phase input is standard for industrial power grids, and its robust overload capabilities (up to 200% High Overload) ensure stable operation even with viscous materials or sudden load variations. Its compact size simplifies integration into existing control cabinets.

Problem Solved

Ensures consistent product quality through precise mixing and agitation control, protects the motor from damage due to unexpected load fluctuations, and integrates efficiently into process control architectures via standard fieldbus communication.
