US Drives is a manufacturer of Digital
AC Drives and AC Line Regeneration Modules located in Niagara Falls, New York. US Drives products are designed to easily handle the tough applications
and difficult operating conditions that cause most other AC drive products to trip or fail. The US Drives Phoenix AC Drive Control has
been hailed as one of the most reliable products in the industry !
You should be using a US Drives product if
you are experiencing problems with any of the following:
*
High AC Line Voltages - Our products are designed to operate at the higher
voltage levels found in most plants (500 VAC +10% on so called 480 VAC Lines and 600 VAC +10% on 575 VAC Lines). No
more “Overvoltage” Trips.
* Power Line Transients – Input MOV’s and a 3% DC Bus Reactor absorb line voltage transients, reduce ac line harmonics,
and improve input power factor.
* High Ambient Temperatures - Our products are designed to operate in an ambient
temperature of 50°C (122° F), not 40°C (104° F) like most other drives.
* High Starting Torque
Requirements – Smart Power Start
produces higher starting torque than across the line starting with much lower inrush currents.
* High Impact (Shock)
Loads - Our unique DC Bus Follower Circuitry
allows us to handle sudden load changes and intermittent regeneration without “fault” trips. No drive oversizing
is required, and energy wasting bus load resistors are eliminated.
* AC Line Harmonics /
Poor Power Quality – Most AC Drives
introduce undesirable harmonic currents into the AC power system. Our “Clean Power AC Drive” operates with
minimal harmonics – well within the stringent limits of IEEE 519.
* Regenerative Loads – Our Line Regen Modules work with any manufactures PWM AC Drive. Absolutely No Setup is required
and there are only five wires to connect. We also offer a full line of Regenerative AC Drives.
