Variable frequency drives (VFD) enable speed control for three-phase AC motors such as those in conveyors, fans, pumps and shop tools. In ratings up to 300hp, the diverse lineup includes GS series, Ironhorse and WEG brands, with various environmental ratings and control modes. A full line of accessories for each drive family ensures a reliable installation.

Line reactors have universal mounting feet with multiple mounting slots and can replace most line reactors using existing mounting holes. Output filter units combine line reactor and resistor-capacitor filter circuit to provide protection against voltage wave reflection, especially on long motor cable runs."
Drive configuration and programming software allows the user to connect to a VFD from a PC for fast, convenient setup and/or programming of a built-in PLC, and offline storage of (multiple) configuration parameters.
Option cards are available to increase the available I/O or add communications capabilities.
Remote keypads, bezels, cables, backup power supplies, memory modules, DIN rail mounting adapters and other accessories are available to complete the installation of your VFD.
Conduit box kits bolt to the bottom of a VFD to provide conduit entry and a/ NEMA 1 rating without the need to install in a separate enclosure. Flange mounting kits extend the heat sinks on the back of the drive through the rear of the enclosure. EMC shield plates allow motor lead shields to be grounded at the drive.
NEMA 4X disconnect switch provides local on/off control to the GS20X drive.
