Frequency Inverters

Frequency Inverters, also known as Variable Frequency Drives or AC Drives, transform AC motor control by offering adjustable frequency and voltage to optimise speed and torque. Available in 2 configurations: Loose Configuration is ideal for operators seeking hands-on installation and Pre-Installed Cabinet which comes complete with a control system and calibration, providing a hassle-free setup.

  • 150% overload capacity for demanding conditions
  • Built-in PID controllers
  • Operating LCD display supporting 16 languages
  • Dry-run protection
  • Pre-configured application macros facilitate quick and easy commissioning
  • Optional Extension & Fieldbus Modules
Overview

What are Frequency Inverters for?

Frequency Inverters allow you to control the speed and power of the electric motor in your pump by altering the voltage and magnitude.

The ACS355 series, manufactured by ABB (market leader in the drive systems market), is of the highest quality with great functionality and available in 2 different standards.

  1. Loose – to be installed by the customer
  2. Pre-Installed in a cabinet including control system & calibrated

Key Features of the ACS355 Frequency Inverters:

  1. Exceptionally compact & uniform design
  2. Operating LCD display in 16 different languages
  3. Quick & Easy commissioning with pre-configured application macros
  4. Extension & Fieldbus Modules are optional
  5. Instructions & Catalogues in multiple languages
  6. Dedicated Tapflo Internal Technical Support available

Key Functions of the ACS355 Frequency Inverters:

  1. Built in Dry-Run Protection for Centrifugal Pumps
  2. 2 Built-In PID Controllers for simple pressure or flow control without external controllers
  3. Safe torque-off function (SIL3) as standard
  4. Built-on C3 EMC Filter and brake chopper
  5. Sensorless Vector Control
  6. 150% overload capacity
