      Key Features

      • High Power Rating: Precisely rated for 160 kW (approximately 215 HP) motor applications, suitable for heavy-duty industrial loads.
      • Advanced Motor Control: Supports various control modes including V/F, Sensorless Vector Control, and optional Closed-Loop Vector Control for superior torque and speed regulation.
      • Robust Industrial Enclosure: Housed in a durable, NEMA-rated (e.g., NEMA 12/IP54 or NEMA 4/IP65) panel, offering excellent protection against dust, dirt, dripping water, and corrosive elements.
      • Integrated Protection Features: Comprehensive motor and drive protection including overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overheat, ground fault, short circuit, and motor overload.
      • Energy Efficiency Optimisation: Advanced algorithms minimize energy waste, ensuring significant cost savings and reduced carbon footprint.
      • Soft Start/Stop Functionality: Eliminates damaging current surges and mechanical shock, extending the life of motors, gearboxes, and connected machinery.
      • User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive HMI (Human Machine Interface) with clear display and keypad for easy parameter setting, monitoring, and diagnostics.
      • Extensive Communication Options: Equipped with standard Modbus RTU and optional support for industrial protocols like Profibus, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, and DeviceNet for seamless integration into existing control systems.
      • Harmonic Mitigation: Includes built-in DC reactors and/or optional active front-end or harmonic filters to meet strict harmonic distortion standards (e.g., IEEE 519).
      • Bypass Functionality (Optional): Manual or automatic bypass option for critical applications, allowing the motor to run directly from the mains in case of VFD fault or maintenance.
      • Dynamic Braking Support: Provision for external dynamic braking resistors for applications requiring rapid deceleration.

      Applications

      Our 160 kW VFD Panel is ideal for a broad spectrum of industrial sectors, including:

      • Water & Wastewater Treatment: Large pumps, blowers, agitators.
      • HVAC Systems: High-capacity fans and chilled water pumps in commercial buildings and industrial facilities.
      • Manufacturing: Conveyor systems, extruders, mixers, crushers, grinders, industrial fans.
      • Oil & Gas: Pumps for extraction, refining, and pipeline operations.
      • Mining & Aggregates: Crushers, screens, large conveyors.
      • Power Generation: Cooling tower fans, boiler feed pumps.
      • Pulp & Paper: Refiners, pumps, and fan drives.

      Benefits of Choosing Our 160 kW VFD Panel

      • Significant Energy Savings: Reduce electricity consumption by precisely matching motor speed to load requirements, especially in variable torque applications.
