Introducing the S4 Frame: More Power, More Efficiency


SDB-1-2450-A | 3~480V 45kW-60 HP

Clean Power Variable Frequency Drive, input 3x 480V, rated output 82A, IP20, embedded AFE.

Description

The SmartD Clean Power Variable Frequency Drive is a compact AC drive utilizing SmartD’s patented own algorithms combined with WBG transistor technology. Producing a clean and pure sine wave to power and control 3-phase AC induction motors has never been easier. The SmartD VFD has essential features built-in for space, wiring and time savings, it eliminates the need for filters on the output, and guarantees longer motor lifetime.
