Variable Speed Drives
Our Variable Speed Drives are supplied by Frecon, who are established worldwide and part of Sino International Limited. Continental Engineering is an authorised distributor. Frecon covers the full spectrum of Variable Speed Drives including medium voltage.
The emphasis on functionality and reliability comes from the selection of components from the best suppliers worldwide:
- SPANSION (USA), new generation motor control dedicated processor, dominant frequency 144MHZ.
This allows Frecon to obtain from a market leader the latest algorithms for VSD functionality and to set a perfect base for local
and other communication protocols. - PCBA (Germany) with original conformal coating to improve life
and complete reliability.
All electronic PCB boards are coated in this highly specialized and patented German product. One of the critical reasons is the establishment of the -10 to +40ºC operating temperature.
The typical problems of Variable Speed Drives starting to fail with changing climate conditions causing critical failures are thus eliminated. - HITACHI (Japan) electrolytic capacitor technology with redundancy design.
Hitachi – a market leader with electrolytic capacitor design – ensures that this critical part of the Variable Speed Drive is managed with specific design and redundancy. - Infineon (Germany) latest design in IGBT technology.
The IGBT, being the core of the electrical switching system, is the best choice for reliability and excellent cooling characteristics.
Independent air duct design, maximum 50ºC. Extra care was taken for best duct design for effective cooling.
Frecon selected the best technologies worldwide in order to ensure a quality and competitive product. From a technical and commercial point of view the products on offer are an excellent addition to the OEM and other markets.
