PACMotion VFD
Emerson’s PACMotion VFD is an integrated, rugged, and modular variable frequency drive designed for
a range of applications, including water/wastewater, metro, automotive, mining, food and beverage,
packaging, oil and gas, discrete manufacturing and modular machine designs. The PACMotion VFD
seamlessly integrates with Emerson’s controllers and Field Agent technology. Leveraging the total
system architecture provides continuous feedback that can improve your process and profitability. The
flexible design offers power ranges from 0.75 to 250kW (1 to 350HP) as well as a host of
communications protocols. Options such as a braking resistors, input and output chokes, external
filters, external keypad, and encoder option cards let you customize the PACMotion VFD to your
requirements
