Taking drives to the M-MAX

Additional EMC filtering options, configurable analogue inputs and enhanced fieldbus connectivity are among the new features that have been added to the latest M-MAX variable speed drives from Eaton's Electrical Sector, which are available with ratings up to 7.5kW.

Featuring compact book-style construction, competitively-priced M-MAX drives can be configured by the user for either V/f or sensorless vector control. This makes them suitable for energy-saving fan and pump applications, and for general industrial applications where accurate speed control is needed.

A large built-in display and operating unit makes it easy to configure the drives and monitor performance, while an electronic setpoint potentiometer facilitates accurate speed setting. Versatility is further enhanced by the 1.5x shortterm overload capacity, flying-start feature, PID functionality and, on larger units, an integrated brake chopper.
