Stalled Relief Efforts Set in Motion Just in Time

Yaskawa Puts Production On Hold To Aid Greensburg Tornado Crisis NEW BERLIN, Wis. (May 17, 2007) - Two weeks ago, the EF-5 tornado that swept through Greensburg, Kansas, effectively leveled the entire town and left thousands of people homeless and the city's infrastructure in distress. Furthermore, the efforts to restore fresh water for fire prevention and leak-testing in water pipes were stalled...

AC Drive has modular layout and configurable features.

Designed as modular system with separate sections for converter and inverter, G5HHP AC drive provides up to 1,750 hp from NEMA 12 FVFF enclosure. Layout lets users customize drives from 400-1,600 A ratings and can be configured with power-related options such as circuit breakers, line reactors, filters, and regenerative front end. Standard non-regenerative front end supports 12, 18, or 24-pulse...

AC Drives feature bypass and electronic control.

Designed for HVAC building automation applications that require redundancy, E7L drive employs 2-contactor bypass to allow motor operation from drive or across ac line. It features electronic touchpad control, PI controller, and embedded communications. AC Drive adjusts output voltage to suit actual motor load. Version E7B provides 3-contactor bypass that uses additional contactor to isolate drive...
