AC drives

AC drives

AC drives control the speed of electric motors in an energy-efficient way. They have solid-state inverters that adjust the voltage and frequency needed to vary speeds. To maintain a constant relationship between voltage and frequency, AC drives rely on the volts per hertz (V/HZ) ratio.

AC drives are an ideal choice for:

• Damp, corrosive, or potentially explosive ambient motor environments
• Applications requiring smaller and lighter motors
• Controlling multiple motors with a single unit
• Motors that don’t need regular maintenance (because of inaccessibility)

AC drives can provide tight speed regulation and high dynamic response in applications that include material handling, metering, web processes, and more. From the very small to extremely large, LEI represents, services and commissions AC drives for your application.
