Altivar 680/980 Process Drives |
Altivar 660/960 Process Drives |
|||
| Brief Description |
The world’s first three-level low harmonic drive, Altivar 680/980 drive solutions are designed for pumping or mechanical movement applications where harmonic mitigation and overall size is a priority. The ATV680/980 has embedded, industry-leading harmonic mitigation technology, which results in THDi levels of 2.3%. With its small footprint and capability to be customized, the ATV680/980 is a very flexible low harmonic solution. The ATV680/980 is a more efficient, more compact, and higher performing active rectification drive than any of our competitors by the integration of a common mode suppressing filter, and unique active filter resonance control. The ATV680 is capable of 120% regeneration, while the ATV980 is capable of 180% of nameplate current. |
The Altivar 660 Process System provides a wide range of fully tested and ready to connect drive solution. Starting from a compact pre engineered system to a fully engineered complex solution. |
