Product Spotlight: Ac drives

Inverters

X200-series inverters deliver power and flexibility in a compact contactor-style package.

Features & benefits

• Power input at top, motor output at bottom of unit

• UL, c-UL, CE, and C-certified; RoHS compliant

• Safe Stop provides hardware-based emergency stop

• Decelerate and stop motor using regenerative energy from the load when ac supply power is lost

• Trip avoidance and automatic energy saving function, built-in timing logic, analog input math (PLC) functions, and RS485 Modbus/RTU communication interface
