Parker AC30 variable speed drive offers higher yet simpler control

The AC30 variable speed drive from Wainbee

Wainbee Limited is the supplier that Canadian businesses trust for equipment that excels in efficient design. For example, the company offers the AC30 variable speed drive manufactured by Parker. This device is designed to give users exceptional levels of control, from simple open-loop pumps and fans to closed-loop process-line applications. In addition, it includes features that serve to simplify pump and fan control, mastering both performance and ease of use.

Flexible and highly modular construction

With its flexible and highly modular construction, the AC30 allows users to add a broad variety of communications and I/O modules as required, easily. Parker has designed this variable speed drive with both simplicity and functionality as high priorities. More capable users can create sophisticated control that used to require a separate PLC, due to integrated macros for a range of applications and PLC functionality.

Parker has designed the AC30 variable speed drive for operation in environment classes 3C3 and 3C4 for hydrogen sulphide as standard (tested at 25 parts per million for 1,200 hours) and in temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius with optional integrated EMC filter to C2 1st environment and DC link choke to reduce line harmonics. The unit is compliant with RoHS substance restrictions according to EC Directive 2011/65/EU. In addition, DNV-GL has marine-certified units through 100 horsepower.
