To choose the right Vacon AC drive for your needs, the experienced Vacon personnel is pleased to assist you in making the right decision. We know there are several issues to consider. Therefore, we have the know-how and willingness to help you to concentrate on the essentials.

Dimensioning

The load conditions of your application and the ambient temperature are the two main factors that affect most on the correct rating for the drive.

Starting torque   Variable torque   Constant torque   Overloadability   40°C, 45°C and 50°C ambient temperatures   Cooling: liquid or air   Physical size

Performance

The speed and torque accuracy as well as the response times needed for your application determine the type of control and the control mode to be used.

U/f frequency control   Sensorless vector control   Closed-loop vector control   Static and dynamic accuracy of speed and torque

Functionality

The application-specific requirements determine the number of inputs and outputs, control and monitoring principles, and the suitable software application.

System integration   Control logic   Extendable I/O   Fieldbuses   Pump and fan control   PID control   Parameter setting   Performance monitoring

Support

The production and other processes must run continuously without interruptions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Technical support   Local and global presence   24/7 aftersales and service   Commissioning   Diagnostics   Exchange units   Spare parts

Standards

Installations must be designed and carried out according to the safety and other regulations. Compliance with standards ensures that the drive operates properly in the given environment as specified.

Emissions and immunity (EMC)   RFI   Harmonic currents and voltages   Low-voltage directive   Machine directive   Degree of protection (IP classes)   CE, UL, C-UL and other approvals

Promptness

The ordered goods must be delivered at the scheduled time, especially in projects.

Production quality   On-time delivery   Efficient logistics
