Counterfeiting is the deliberate use of a false trademark that is identical with or substantially indistinguishable from a registered trademark. It is often a problem when buying online from a company with whom you are not familiar. Most people are aware of counterfeit DVD’s, CD’s, computer games, clothing, fragrances and jewellery, but the fact […]
When a motor load needs to be stopped quickly, dynamic braking is often used. In an inverter drive application, this involves applying a braking torque to the motor to bring it to a stop. The energy released during this process is normally absorbed by a braking circuit and dissipated through braking resistors in the […]
The quickest way to optimise your use of Mitsubishi FR-series inverters is to follow the Tech Tips from their website. The following examples show communication and configuration tips: Tip 86 – FR-Configurator communication to D700 and E700 Inverters Connecting FR-Configurator to the D700 and E700 Series inverters is a little different to the F700 and […]
The the new Energy Savings Estimator program for Mitsubishi Electric variable speed inverter drives estimates electrical energy consumption for fan and pump applications when using an AC motor in combination with an Variable Speed Drive. The software compares the use of an Adjustable Speed Drive against conventional control methods such as outlet dampers, inlet vanes, throttling […]
Both. Inverter is a term frequently used to describe a type of ac variable speed drive. However, inverter is also the term used for a device that converts a supply voltage from dc to ac: a typical inverter application may be to convert 12V dc from a car battery to 240V ac to run […]
