AC Drive Panels, also known as Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), are used to control motor speeds, either as a process requirement or for energy-saving purposes. These panels are ideal for controlling the speed of pumps, blowers, agitators, conveyors, and other equipment. To ensure efficient heat dissipation, AC Drive panels are properly ventilated. Additionally, appropriately sized chokes are provided on both the input and output sides of the VFD as needed for optimal performance.
One of the primary features of AC drives is their ability to provide precise control over the speed of AC motors. By adjusting the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor, AC drives can regulate the rotational speed of the motor within a wide range, from very low speeds to maximum rated speeds. This feature allows for energy savings, improved process control, and reduced wear and tear on machinery.
AC drives are instrumental in improving the energy efficiency of motor-driven systems. By controlling the speed of the motor according to the required load, AC drives prevent motors from running at full speed when it is unnecessary, thus reducing energy consumption. This feature is particularly beneficial in applications where the load varies over time or where precise control over motor speed is essential for optimal operation.
AC drives offer various built-in protections and control functionalities to safeguard the motor and the driven machinery. These protections may include overload protection, overvoltage and undervoltage protection, short circuit protection, and thermal protection. Advanced control features such as PID control and torque control enable precise performance tuning for specific applications, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
We use high-quality MS CRCA sheet steel with thicknesses of 14 gauge 2mm and 16 gauge 1.66mm for panel fabrication. Our panels are supported by robust 75x40 or 100x50 base channels. We offer panels with protection classes of IP 42, IP 52, IP 55, and IP 65, tailored to meet specific client requirements.
Our sheet metal is treated to prevent corrosion and coated with epoxy-based powder to 80-100 microns, using a seven-tank pretreatment process. Panels are then baked at up to 200°C for durability and a high-quality finish. Painting options include oven-drying or powder-coating based on client specifications
Our Busbar System is engineered to leverage the thermal and mechanical properties of the busbar material, effectively resisting short-circuit currents while promoting efficient heat dissipation to maintain cooler temperatures. For added safety and stability, the busbars are supported by SMC insulators, and all joints are secured with specified torque and sealed with a paint mark for verification.
We adhere to the latest IS standards for engineering and wiring in our panels. During assembly, we carefully consider the panel layout to ensure ease of access for operation and maintenance. Each component is clearly labeled to facilitate quick and accurate identification, enhancing both functionality and serviceability.
