n Compact size: (4.30” x 3.70”) Easy to mount in small spaces with industry standard mounting hole pattern.
n “D” models can double the output: Enables the use of a 230 VAC motor with a 115 VAC power supply.
n Use with a variety of motors: Can be used with 3-phase induction and single-phase permanent split capacitor, shaded
pole and synchronous motors. Quickly and easily change trimmer pot ranges for 1/4 to 1 hp motors.
n Easy to calibrate & set-up: On-board trimmer pot adjustments for boost, maximum speed, acceleration, deceleration, and
torque limit.
n Torque ‘foldback’ feature: Allows up to 200% torque for short periods to overcome intermittent peak loads, then reduces
the torque to a (preset) safe level.
n 16kHz switching frequency, with option to change between 4 and 16 kHz in the field: A high switching frequency
results in quiet motor operation. Adjustments to a lower frequency if desired can be done in the field.
n Optional isolation: Order unit with a -PCM suffix for isolation of inputs
The Volts/Hertz VFD Series has several models in the 1/4 - 1 hp range that
accepts 115 VAC and 230 VAC power. The cost-conscious and compact
chassis design of the VFD Series maintains the industry standard for mount-
ing hole location and the coded LEDs make it easy to visually determine the
drive status. Dual voltage “D” versions have a jumper that causes the drive
to output double the voltage, allowing the use of 230VAC motors when only
a 115 VAC power supply is available.
The unique torque “foldback” feature protects your motor and equipment.
The VFD Series will allow 200% torque for a period of time (to overcome
intermittent peak loads), then it acts to reduce the output current (or torque)
to a preset, safe value which has been set by the TQ Limit trimmer pot. This
results in eliminating potential equipment damage by a continuous 200%
torque input. The VFD Series includes additional features such as an
adjustable carrier frequency of 4-16 kHz, an output frequency range of 0-
120 Hz, and an adjustable torque boost for start up. Enable and Direction
terminals are included for easy start/stop and direction control.
With its compact size, standard features, and application flexibility, the VFD
Series is an excellent choice for most 1 hp and under AC applications.
