Designed for extremely harsh environments, the new AC drives bring cost and space savings in installations as no additional enclosures are required. The Vacon 100 Motor Mountable AC drives are available at powers ranging from 1.1 to 30 kW - the widest power range in its class."The Vacon 100 Motor Mountable AC drives are our most robust AC drives, featuring a die-cast frame, and large and open cooling ribs. The enclosure is designed to withstand severe vibrations so it's really made for a rough ride. These drives are not bound to a specific mounting location. so it opens completely new ways of using AC drives," says Heikki Hiltunen, Executive Vice President at Vacon."These AC drives are intelligent and flexible. They have built-in PLC programming capability to meet the special requirements of a machine or an application. The powers go up to 30 kW, which is highest in this class," Hiltunen continues.
