This product features integrated and certified compressor protection to guarantee unit safety. Thermal overload devices (Klixons), circuit breakers (thermal over-current relays), and electromechanical devices (contactors) — if used exclusively for compressor protection or activation in the event of overpressure — are no longer required. This provides cost savings and reduces space requirements.
Location isn’t everything, but it helps. Just ask homeowners selling their property, or restaurant owners. In the HVAC world, it also rings true for some motors and drives and the professionals who work with them. That includes contractors, even if maybe not in the way that one would expect. Some current and next-gen drives will make location matter in a new way: Contractors can spend more time further away from the equipment itself.
The device has the ability to control a wide range of motors for any HVAC application, and it’s preconfigured default — ABB Super-E HVAC motor settings — streamlines commissioning.
The S-Flex™ enclosed A/C drive line has been expanded to include Type 12 and Type 3R enclosure options. The enclosures now enable installation of S-Flex drives in outdoor and roof applications.
The DOE announced a total of $25 million in grants to enable innovative electrical motors used in manufacturing, of which Marathon Motors received $1 million to develop a rare-earth element-free motor.
The CFP2000 Series IP55 NEMA 12 Vector Control Drive offers an IP55 rating for high durability and protection from low-pressure water from all directions and dusty environments.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is frequently introducing tougher motor-efficiency regulations, and manufacturers have shown a willingness to adapt and modify their offerings to keep pace.
The introductory course on motors and variable-speed drives will give participants a better understanding of motors and the theory behind how they work.
