Description
The input voltage is 240–950 V AC and the output is 230–1500 V DC. The family consists of Answer Drives DC, ADDvantage-32 and Mentor MP. For the ADDvantage-32 there is a Plus version, DCP panel drives, DMG digital control of motor-generator sets, the AFS field controller, and AFM and ACM modules that replace the control on an existing power section. Depending on the model, the drive has auto-tuning, a check of the tachogenerator state and connection at power-up, configuration without special tools, and display and logging of the main variables and faults. Modernization extends equipment service life, shortens installation downtime and removes the drift of analog systems.
How to choose
The drive is selected by armature current and voltage, since the ranges of 25–4000 A DC and 230–1500 V DC cover both small and heavy machinery. If reversing and regenerative braking are needed, the four-quadrant version is chosen. To renew an old power section, the AFM and ACM modules are suitable, DMG for motor-generator sets, and AFS for the field excitation. AC motors are fed by frequency converters, for example the AD5000 at 18.5–500 kW per drive.
