Lenz-AC Adds Power and Features to its Drive

Lenze-AC Tech has extended the power range of the SMVector NEMA1 drive to reach 30HP. It is now well-suited for traditional VFD applications, as well as environments in which inverter technology was once considered too costly, says Lenz.

The drive’s increased capabilities include an additional programmable digital input, RS-485 terminals and an enhanced keypad. Features include four modes of operation—V/Hz, Enhanced V/Hz, Vector Speed, and Torque—plus high starting torque, auto-tuning, advanced low-speed control and dynamic speed regulation. The Electronic Programming Module or EPM, is a removable chip that is the drive’s memory and allows users to program multiple drives in seconds.
