Schneider Electric Variable Speed Drive, 90 kW, 3 Phase, 480 V, 173 A, Altivar Series

Control your equipment precisely using this variable speed drive from Schneider Electric's Altivar range. You can install it between the power supply and your motor to regulate the power according to your needs and to minimise energy wastage. The Modbus serial communications protocol allows the drive to control processes accurately and at speed while accessing data to monitor performance. Screw terminals help you to make quick and secure electrical connections.

• IP21 rating means it's touch-proof and protected from objects bigger than 12mm
• 3-phase configuration makes it suitable for use with industrial power supplies

• Industrial plant
• Machine systems
• Data centres

As well as offering you more precise control of your equipment, a variable speed drive can help you run processes more efficiently, cut noise emissions and meet environmental goals.

A rectifier inside the variable speed drive converts incoming AC power to DC power, which is fed to capacitors to smooth out the electrical waveform. The clean supply is then fed to an inverter that converts it back into output AC power with the frequency and voltage adjusted to your needs.
