The certification acknowledges the ability of AC30 to operate reliably and safely in even the most extreme of environments, including marine and offshore. Available in the power range 1 HP to 100 HP the AC30 can be specified in a wide range of applications including towing winches, cranes, hoists, compressors, propulsion and steering.
The only drive on the market offering environmental protection to class 3C3 and 3C4 (H2S), the AC30 features EMC filters and integral DC line chokes to ensure performance and reliability. The feature rich AC30, a modular drive for control of AC induction or permanent magnet (PMAC) motors in both open- and closed-loop applications, is perfectly suited to the demanding applications of the marine industry.
AC30 frames comply with DNV rules for classification of ships and high speed/light craft in as well as DNV offshore standards under type approval E-13861.
