New VFDs offer quick, easy setup

August 4, 2016 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

The new ACF Series from American Control Electronics is an open chassis microprocessor-based variable frequency drive (VFD) that offers the simplicity of a DC drive. ACF700 drives are designed for quick and easy setup without any programming, in contrast to the complex programming associated with standard VFDs. The drives are equipped with user-adjustable trim pots to set Max/Min Speeds, Slip Comp, Boost, Torque Limit, Accel and Decel/Injection Braking parameters. The 115 Vac/230 Vac single-phase input can provide single or three-phase outputs of 115 Vac or 230 Vac, making it ideal for sub-fractional horsepower motors and gear motors. An onboard microprocessor allows custom programming for a variety of OEM applications.

ACF Series features include:

  • Horsepower: 1/60 to 1 hp
  • Voltage (Vac): 115/230
  • Maximum current (AAC): 4 A
  • Carrier frequency: 1.6 or 16 kHz
  • Adjustable base frequency
  • DC injection braking
  • Protects against overheating as a result of frequent overload
