Converters Offer "Green" Alternative

Print
Enlarge
The RCU Series of regenerative converter units are designed to offer an affordable “green” alternative to traditional dynamic braking (DB) systems. 

Instead of wasting regenerative energy as heat, these converters
reclaim that energy, converting it into 3-phase alternating current
(AC) power. The energy is recycled through the AC line, resulting in
increased energy efficiency and reduced energy consumption. The
converters need only five connections for basic operation. They
incorporate LC-filtering to mitigate harmonics and an LED display for
monitoring of operation and faults. Available in several sizes, the
units can be parallel-connected for higher power handling.
