Original Press Release:

VFD05-D230-PCM: PWM, Dual Voltage, Isolated, Chassis AC Drive

South Beloit, IL: Minarik Drives announces the release of the VFD05-D230-PCM Volts/Hertz AC drive. The VFD05-D230-PCM series has all the features of the original VFD series with several additional enhancements. They include an isolated front end,
minimum speed adjustment potentiometer, DC injection braking, automatic or manual restarts.

The dual voltage, isolated VFD05-D230-PCM inverter can accept a speed reference signal without a separate isolation card. They can be used with a variety of motors including 3-phase induction, single-phase permanent split capacitor (PSC), shaded pole and synchronous motors.

Packed with features, the VFDO5-D230-PCM have a "doubling" jumper that can be set to output 230VAC to a motor when only 11 5VAC power supply is available. A jumper also determines if the VFD-PCM is set for automatic or manual restarting.

If automatic restart is selected, the inverter will restart after a low voltage fault or power loss, when the input voltage is restored to a minimum level. Another jumper selectable
option is DC injection braking or coast-to-stop. Customizing the brake time and current is easy with adjustable trimmer pots.

Available to 1.5 hp, the VFD05-D230-PCM series has the features, flexibility and compact size expected in a full-featured AC drive.
