2nd Quarter 2012Electrical switching & drive systems & components
SEW-Eurodrive recently launched the new Movitrac LTP B frequency inverter. This new unit series is extremely versatile and can be used with a variety of different motors: asynchronous motors, permanent-field synchronous motors and servomotors. With their IP55 degree of protection, these inverters do not even need a space in the control cabinet.
This new frequency inverter is the perfect match for a large variety of drive solutions in a wide range of applications. It is easy to install, highly reliable, and particularly efficient. The series can be used universally. The wide range of application options for different motor types and tasks allows for an optimum drive solution in terms of efficiency and energy consumption. In addition to the energy saving function that reduces consumption in part-load operation and the sleep mode that switches off entire areas (as long as they are not needed), the operation of synchronous motors in speed control mode is another aspect that characterises this sustainable product.
The Movitrac LTP B is available in six frame sizes from 0,37 kW to 160 kW for a line voltage of 230 V or 400 V. The IP55/NEMA 12 degree of protection ensures that this inverter series can be used in rough ambient conditions. In this way, the Movitrac frequency inverters operate reliably and flexibly, even when exposed to dust or water. This drive solution is also ideally suited for solutions outside the control cabinet, where less enclosed space is required.
