Features

Power Source and Machine Friendly

  • Current harmonic at the power source conforms the IEEE 519-1992 guidelines without line side harmonic filters.
  • Multi-level PWM approximates output waveforms to sine curves and reduces motor insulation stress.
  • Multi-winding isolation transformer and diode converter help achieve a power factor of 0.95 or better.

State-of-the-art Technology and High Performance

  • Stable operation is assured for applications needing high starting torque and high intermittent torque.
  • Patented “external pre-charging method” helps reduce the parts count and down time.
  • Automatic restarting function helps continuous operation in cases of instant power failure.
  • Motor Speed accuracy is ±0.5% at the rated 100% speed without a speed sensor device.
    (±0.1% with speed sensor device)

High Reliability

  • IGBT, the most reliable, available and widely installed power semiconductors in industry are used.
  • Quality production in manufacturing eliminates human error during manufacturing.
  • “Realtime simulator” helps prevent axial vibration and minimize the commissioning period.

Operator Friendly

  • Large touch-screen panel shows easy-to-understand information and assures user friendly operation.
  • Windows ® PC based maintenance software is supplied by Hitachi for user friendly operation.
