Setting the pace

Pacesetter is a family of AC inverter duty motors, gearmotors and AC variable speed controls. The five-stage insulation system is designed to meet NEMA MG 1. The inverter-grade magnet wire and Class F insulation offer protection against spikes and corona damage caused by the inverter. Pacesetter gearmotors are UL recognized for construction, CSA certified and in compliance with the Low Voltage Directive CE. Motors and gearmotors are rated from 1/25 – ¾ HP, 230 VAC, 60 Hz, 3-phase for operation with a wide range of inverter products.

Testing, testing

The DynoLab LT offers the test control and data acquisition capabilities required for basic electric motor testing as well as all of the benefits of an AC motoring dynamometer. It offers a fixed I/O configuration optimized for basic electric motor testing. The system has provisions for measuring speed and torque, and optional voltage and current supply to the motor under test. From this data, the system is able to calculate values such as input and output power and efficiency.

Inverter for conveying

The Movitrac LTE frequency inverter is a system designed to meet the size and startup constraints that industrial applications typically place on frequency inverters. It is suited for applications that include fan and ventilation systems (HVAC), pumps, conveying, and material handling systems. The inverter comes equipped with predefined parameter settings and a user-friendly integrated control unit for standard applications. Its “plug in and drive” operation eliminates cost-intensive and time-consuming startup procedures.

Reduced voltage starter

The sixth generation SSW06 reduced voltage motor starter has been designed to include all of the features required in today’s industrial environment. These features allow for simple set-up and programming to meet the unique needs of each application. The microprocessor-based system provides constant monitoring of the AC motor and quick response to protect the soft starter and AC motor from all real-world industrial situations. Designed to be used with all international voltages, 220-575 V, the SSW06 initially is available from 30-350 hp with higher horsepower units up to 1,400 A available in late 2005.
