Parker AC30 series of variable speed AC drives is designed to offer a blend of performance and ease of use for a wide range of industrial applications.
The AC30V variable speed drives provide users with exceptional levels of motor control for general purpose industrial applications up to 132kW. A range of communications, feedback and I/O options are available separately.
Features
The AC30 variable speed drive range has been designed to provide users with exceptional levels of control, from simple open-loop pumps and fans through to closed-loop process line applications. Its flexible and highly modular construction enables a wide range of communications and I/O modules to be easily added as required.
- The AC30 has been designed with simplicity in mind, but this doesn’t compromise its functionality.
- Integrated macros for a range of applications and PLC functionality enable more capable users to create sophisticated control that would previously have required a separate PLC.
- Designed for operation in environment class 3C3 and 3C4 for Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) as standard (tested at 25 ppm for 1200 hours) and temperatures up to 50 °C.
- The AC30 also utilises a DC link choke to reduce line harmonics and is available with an optional integrated EMC filter to C2 1st environment.
