American Control Electronics announces ACF Series AC Drive Line

By Miles Budimir | July 12, 2011

Share

American Control Electronics (ACE) today announced the ACF Series variable frequency AC drive product line that incorporates 4 separate platform product models.

The ACF series is a microprocessor based variable frequency drive that enables quick and easy setup without any programming. The drives are equipped with trim pots to adjust Max. Speed, Min. Speed, Slip Comp, Boost, TQ Limit, Accel and Decel / or Braking parameters. ACF100 series models allow 115 VAC in and 115 VAC out. ACF600 series models allow 230 VAC in and 230 VAC out, and are also equipped with a voltage doubler that allows a user the use of a 230 VAC motor when only 115VAC single-phase power is available. 

While the input is single phase, the output can be single or three phase for all ACF series drives. The drive’s internal carrier frequency can be changed from 16kHz to 1.6kHz to minimize switching losses or reduce electrical interference. DC injection braking is also included. The microprocessor-based design is factory programmable for a wide variety of custom OEM parameters. 
According to John Hegel, president of American Control Electronics, “These full featured and compact AC drives are the perfect choice to run any 3 phase, and some single phase motors, rated at 4 amps or below. We’re pleased to be offering the ACF series as a platform for both standard and custom applications.”
