HydroDrive™ Variable Frequency Drive for Metering Pumps

The HydroDrive AC Variable Frequency Drive is a variable speed control in a NEMA-4X / IP-65 washdown, watertight enclosure

The HydroDrive™ AC Variable Frequency Drive is a variable speed control in a NEMA-4X / IP-65 washdown, watertight enclosure. It is designed to operate 208-230 Volt 3-phase AC induction motors through 3.6 Amps RMS. The sine wave coded Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) output operates at a frequency of 16Hz which provides high torque and high efficiency at a low noise level.

Standard Features:

Motor Overload Protection**

200% Starting Torque

Electronic Inrush Current Limit

Short Circuit Protection

Regeneration Protection

Slip Compensation with Boost

Ride Through Power Interruptions

Diagnostic LEDs

100% Holding Torque at 0 RPM

Barrier Terminal Block

NEMA-4X / IP-65 Enclosure

Notes: **UL approved as an electronic overload protector for motors.
