Focus 3
Rugged and Robust
OVERVIEW
The Focus 3 is a single-phase analog drive for DC
motors with power ranges from 1/4 to 5 HP. Years of
proven engineering design matched with surface mount
technology make this newest Focus product rugged and
reliable.
Customer feedback guided the development of the
Focus 3. Many features that were typically available only
as options are now standard, expanding its versatility
and simplifying installation.
Control Techniques’ Focus 3 provides flexibility. You can
