POWERDRIVE FX: Ultra compact regenerative drive solution

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Powerdrive FX is an ultra-compact regenerative drive solution designed for variable speed applications, offering power ratings from 22 kW to 90 kW (30 hp to 125 hp) and operating voltages between 400 V and 480 V. It utilizes innovative 'C-Light 4 Quadrant' technology for high-performance sensorless Permanent Magnet motor control.
Innovative Technology: The drive features dynamic braking with a naturally regenerative rectifier, eliminating the need for a braking resistor and enhancing efficiency. It offers reduced Total Harmonic Distortion (THDI) better than IEC 61000-3-12 standards, leading to smaller power supply components and no over-voltage on motor terminals.
Integrated Safety Functions: Powerdrive FX includes Safe Torque Off inputs compliant with SIL3 - PLe standards, a security mode for emergency operations, and diagnostic capabilities with event recording.
Outdoor Suitability: The drive can be installed in compact IP 54 (NEMA 12) enclosures, suitable for harsh environments, with integrated PLC functions and reduced internal losses.
Control Modes: It supports asynchronous and Permanent Magnet synchronous motors with sensorless control, providing high starting torque and full torque at low speeds.
Conformity and Standards: The drive complies with various standards, including IP 20 protection, temperature and humidity tolerances, altitude adjustments, and electromagnetic immunity and emissions standards.
Benefits: Powerdrive FX offers installation and operating cost savings by eliminating the need for additional components like braking resistors and overload relays. It enhances productivity and environmental protection with recyclable components and no electrolytic capacitors.
Applications: The drive is suitable for various industries, including wood, textile, material handling, and ventilation, offering specific benefits like increased safety, compactness, and energy optimization.
Technical Specifications: Detailed ratings and dimensions are provided for different models, along with communication and environmental options, operator interfaces, and protection devices.
