Matrix filters promise harmonic solutions
With mains-borne harmonic corruption increasing year on year, filter technology needs to develop significantly from its current level.
Silverteam is Hitachi's sole agent for drives and automation products in the UK.
Managing Director Stuart Harvey comments: "The likes of building services and water treatment applications are big potential markets, but they place particular requirements of drives in terms of environmental protection and expected simplicity of installation and setup".
"With the L100IP and L300IP, you can take the drive straight out of the box, bolt it to the wall, add the mains supply and motor cables, and away you go".
The L100IP is available in powers from 0.4 to 2.2kW for 200V single-phase supplies, and in powers from 0.7 to 7.5kW for 400V three-phase supplies.
The L300IP extends powers to 132kW for 400V three-phase supplies.
Both provide advanced features such as motor synchronisation, PID control, automatic energy saving and user macro functions.
A user-friendly integrated display makes it simple to adjust parameters on the fly, and the in-built RS422/485 communications interface allows a standard PC to be connected for setup and commissioning using Windows-based programming software.
The RS422/485 interfaces also allow ready connection to a PLC or other control equipment, and fieldbus interfaces for Profibus, LonWorks, DeviceNet and others are available as modular options.
Further options include a harmonic line reactor, and an embedded PLC board which turns the drive into a powerful, single box, control system.
The L100IP and L300IP conform to a range of global standards, including CE, UL, c-UL and CTick, allowing their use anywhere in the world.
