VLT® DriveMotor: FCM 106 / FCP 106-5

Constant Torque at 160% overload in industrial applications, e.g. conveyors reduces THiD to less than 46%. This results in extended drive lifetime and minimized harmonic load of mains. Industrial features Built-in Smart Logic Controller The Smart Logic Controller is a simple but clever way to keep your drive, motor and application working together without a PLC. The controller monitors a specified event. When an event occurs, the controller triggers a specified act and starts monitoring the next event, continuing for up to 20 steps before returning to step one. Motor thermistor If increased temperature...
