Technical Specifications

Full Product Description

The AC15 Compact Drive is an easy-to-use, reliable and cost-effective solution for everyday motor control applications www.ge-drive.com requiring speed or torque control in the 0.37 KW to 30 KW power range. the AC15 is compactly sized and offers features normally only associated with higher-specification drives, including safe torque shutdown, Ethernet communications, sensorless vector modes for controlling permanent magnet (PMAC) and AC induction motors, and a wide range of other features. With a sensorless vector mode for controlling permanent magnet (PMAC) and AC induction motors, and a 1-minute 150% overload, the AC15 provides an optimized solution for OEM machine builders looking for a compact, cost-effective drive without compromising performance.

Capture of rotating loads – “Flytrap”: the fan control algorithm allows the AC15 to detect when the fan is freewheeling and regain control of the fan before running it at the commanded speed.PID control: multiple PID control loops can be programmed to monitor process variables and adjust the speed of the motor accordingly to achieve the desired variable setpoints. PID control: Multiple PID control loops can be programmed to monitor the process variables and adjust the motor speed accordingly to achieve the desired variable setpoint. Basic Service (Fire Mode):Selec through digital inputs, Ignition Mode will cause the drive to run continuously at the maximum programmed speed, ignoring all other control signals and alarm conditions. Energy Optimization:The motor power waveform from the drive is optimized to reduce motor energy consumption without compromising performance under afraid speed conditions. Frequency Jumping: Up to 4 programmable speeds and frequency bands to avoid resonance points on the load, reducing vibration, wear and noise. Programmable Multi-Stage Speed Control: 8 programmable cyclic stages can be programmed for different operating speeds and times. Process Timer: Multiple hourly run timers can be programmed to generate text alarms on the drive keypad to coincide with process maintenance intervals, -70 software “function blocks” that can be interconnected with up to 100 “links” to provide a powerful application platform.
