When it comes to AC drives vs DC drives, DC drives are commonly considered problematic, despite their prestige for having simple circuits, providing high start-up torque, and being ideal for applications with constant speed due to the requirement of commutators and brush assemblies in their motors. These motors can become worn over time, have operational issues, and will likely require labor to pr...

If the drive faults, the drive output is disabled so that the drive stops controlling the motor, and the following fault code will be displayed on the keypad, the fault contact output operates too. Even if a fault is the same, they are displayed differently on LCD keypad and LED keypad. These are all explained in the below table. For details, refer to the following table to identify and correct th...

Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) can be used in lots of fields. Variable frequency drives are widely used to control the speed of AC motors, like conveyor systems, blower speeds, pump speeds, machine tool speeds, & other applications that require variable speed with variable torque. In some applications such as speed control for a conveyor, the variable frequency drive is installed with a remote...

AC drive is a device that is used to control the speed of an electric motor. The speed is controlled by changing the frequency of the electrical supply to the motor. The three-phase voltage in the national electrical grid connected to a motor creates a rotating magnetic field in it. The rotor of the electrical motor will follow this rotating magnetic field. Motor Speed Control The speed is control...

To ensure the AC drive functions reliably, proper considerations must be given to installation such as the specification of the motor, incoming, outgoing cables and the environmental parameter it operates in. As with any electrical types of equipment, AC drives can deteriorate after prolonged use even if it was installed properly. It helps to spot signs of imminent damage on the AC Drive early on ...

The following fault code will be displayed on the operation panel, the fault contact output operates, and the output to motor is disable, the motor will coast to stop. For details, refer to the following table to identify and correct the cause of the fault. Fault No. Fault display on panel Fault description Possible causes Corrective actions 1 E.oc1 Over current during acceleration Low grid voltag...
