Lenze Americas: Inverter Drive

Oct. 1, 2011
The compact 8400 motec inverter drive is equipped for all drive functions and scaled to deliver energy efficiency in material handling applications.

The drive’s IP66 enclosure encases three units--the drive, communication and wiring units. Available in a power range from 0.37 to 3.0 KW, the unit can be mounted either on the geared motor or wall-mounted. When employed with asynchronous motors, the drive’s “VFC eco” mode permits the motor to be operated in partial load (in applications with constant or slowly changing loads) providing a 10- to 30 percent increase in energy efficiency. The replaceable memory module stores all parameters. Units feature CANopen, AS-i and Profibus communication options.
