With its price, flexibility and power range now extended to reach 30HP,
the SMVector NEMA1 drive is well-suited for traditional VFD
applications, as well as environments in which inverter technology was
once considered too costly, says the vendor.
The drive’s increased capabilities include an additional programmable digital input, RS-485 terminals and an enhanced keypad. Features include four modes of operation—V/Hz, Enhanced V/Hz, Vector Speed, and Torque—plus high starting torque, auto-tuning, advanced low-speed control and dynamic speed regulation. The Electronic Programming Module or EPM, is a removable chip that is the drive’s memory and allows users to program multiple drives in seconds.
