Benefits

Saves Time

Easy to Install and Simple to Operate
Does not require programming
or commissioning

Up and running in less than 10 minutes.

Motors Last Longer

Proprietary CL Software

Provides overload protection,
prevents motor burnout
and eliminates nuisance tripping.
UL approved as electronic overload
protector for motors.

Energy Saving

Uses only the power the application requires

Energy savings is realized by using variable motor speed
vs. constant speed motors.

Economical to Use

Combines Soft Start with Variable Speed

Adjustable Soft Start.

Additional Features

Sensorless Flux Vector Control

Flux Vector Compensation with Static Auto-Tune provides excellent speed regulation
with high torque loads throughout the entire speed range. Auto energy saving at light
loads. Smooth motor torque.

Electronic Inrush Current Limit (EICL™) Protection

Eliminates harmful inrush AC line current during power up.

Ride-Through

Provides smooth recovery to the previous set speed during a momentary power loss.

Holding Torque at Zero Speed

Resists motor shaft rotation when the drive is in “Stop” mode.

Regeneration Protection

Eliminates tripping due to high bus voltage caused by rapid deceleration of high
inertial loads.

Undervoltage and Overvoltage Protection

Shuts down the drive if the AC line input voltage goes above or below
the operating range.

D-800B

Short Circuit Protection

Shuts down the drive if a short circuit occurs at the motor (phase-to-phase).

Basic, Programmable, Trimpot Adjustments

Min. Speed, Max. Speed, Accel, Decel, Current Limit, Slip Comp.
