FDU AC DRIVES

Developed for Variable Torque Applications

The Emotron FDU Variable Frequency Drive offers unmatched performance and control for variable torque applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, and blowers. A wide array of features such as patented Shaft Power Monitoring, and multi-pump control are also standard.

Secure the Flow and Save Energy

The Emotron FDU controls both flow and pressure. It offers efficient and reliable operation of the driven equipment, all while reducing energy and maintenance costs. The series covers powers of up to 4,000 HP (3,000 kW) and is available in both NEMA 12 (IP54) and NEMA 1 (IP20/21) certified enclosures.

KEY FEATURES

  • 3 - 2,500 Amps

  • NEMA-rated enclosure (available in NEMA 1 and NEMA 12 configurations)

  • Unique Shaft Power Load Curve Monitoring and Protection

  • Pump control for up to 7 pumps

  • Automatic Pump Rinsing

  • Sleep function

  • Process language feature, i.e., display GPM

  • Copy function via detachable display keypad

  • Smaller footprint than competing VFDs

BUILT FOR PURPOSE.

The Emotron FDU is available in both NEMA 1 (IP20/21) and NEMA 12 (IP54) configurations. The robust steel construction of the NEMA 12 version means that the drive can be installed close to the application, reducing the cost of additional cabinets and motor cables. The 300 - 1,500A units (NEMA 1 classified) are also available in compact CG-designed NEMA 12 cabinets. The 25 - 244A, NEMA 1 series units are optimized for mounting in control cabinets or on an electrical room wall. Its robust yet compact design allows for easy access to power terminals.

  • Protection from damage and downtime

    Soft starts and stops protect your equipment. Reduced start currents result in smaller fuses, cables, and energy bills. Controlled stops eliminate the risk of water hammer and other costly damage.

    A built-in shaft power monitor and unique Load Curve Protection function protect your process by immediately detecting any situation that could cause inefficiency or damage. Early warning and safety stops allow preventative action.

  • Energy Savings & Optimized Operation

    The FDU regulates flow and pressure by continuously adapting motor speed. No energy wasted and no unnecessary equipment wear. Sleep and automatic pump rinsing functions further reduce energy and increase efficiency.

    Multiple pump or compressor control is a reliable and cost-efficient method of keeping a constant flow or pressure despite varying demands. The FDU can control up to seven pumps.

  • User-Friendly & Reliable Operation

    Operation parameters can be set in your own process unit - m3/min, bar, Pascal, etc. - making monitoring easier and more reliable. The removeable control panel has a copy function for transferring settings to other FDU units.

    Switching between local and remote control can be accomplished with the push of a single key on the control panel. The virtual connection of logical functions, comparators, and timers, means no cables or external I/Os are required.
