Motor Controller Resists Water

Jan. 23, 2008
The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 40 AC drive and the ArmorStart product lines have packaging options that are now rated by NEMA and NEMA/UL Type 4X/12 (IP66/54) for indoor use.

Both products provide UL-listed protection against circulating dust and high-water pressure. The NEMA 4X AC drive gives users decentralized vector control for applications demanding low-speed and high-torque control, and its National Sanitation Foundation certification helps provide conformity with international food equipment standards. Available in 240, 480 and 600 volts for applications up to 5HP (3.7kW), the drive is also equipped with a configurable I/O including the ability to perform basic logic, timer and counter functions.

The ArmorStart product line is also available in 240, 480 and 600 volts for applications up to 5HP (3.7kW). The NEMA 4X-rated distributed motor controller offers various starting methods that include full voltage, reversing, smart motor controller and variable frequency.
