They are situated between an electrical supply and a motor. Electrical motors run many things we use in our society today and inverter drives are used for speed control in a range of applications, such as simple fan and pump loads. Inverter drives are also used widely in industrial applications for high torque machine control. Most inverter drives now have features such as digital operation and LED displays allowing for easy set-up, monitoring, and adjustment of parameters by the user._x000D_ How does an Inverter Drive work?_x000D_ Inverter drives are controlled by inputting specific frequencies or parameters into the device. When power goes through the drive the inverter adjusts the frequency and voltage that is supplied to the motor. They ensure that an electrical motor receives only the necessary amount of power it requires to function, in order to reduce waste or loss of electrical energy, thereby making it more efficient to run. They can also gradually ramp up power for a slower, safer machine start up. Inside the inverter, incoming AC power is converted to DC power via a rectifier made up of diodes, which is then smoothed to a clean, constant voltage by capacitors, and is then fed back out as AC power via output transistors._x000D_ The 22F-D8P7N113 PowerFlex 4M drive has an input voltage of 480VAC, 3PH, and an output current of 8.7 Amps. It has a power rating of 3.7 kW. It is frame size B with a width of 100mm and a length of 174mm. It is ingress protection rated to IP20 (Open). For quick and easy operation it features a 4-digit LED Display and fixed digital keypad. It also has an internal CE compliant filter. There is no brake drive.
