For many drive users, designing and building a high power drive enclosure requires extensive in house engineering expertise and time that they do not have.

           ACCU-Torq® AC severe duty motors       

Control Techniques' DFS (Drive Free Standing) is a pre-assembled, ready to install drive enclosure system designed for use in high power applications to deliver optimum motor control and energy efficiency. These enclosed drive solutions are available in both UL Type 12 / NEMA 12 enclosures, and UL Type 3R / NEMA 3R enclosures.

DFS Highlights:

No extra engineering required!

✓  East to install Rittal ventilated enclosures that include a door-interlocked main circuit breaker (35kA @ 480Vac as standard), 3%Z input line reactor, Class J fuses, sharing chokes (for parallel operation), UL/cUL Listed
✓ Broad suite of option packages to meet various demanding applications & environments
✓ Increased safety against arc-flash with provisioning for isolator sequestering
✓ Compact design minimizes footprint
✓ Serviceable design, allowing fast & easy access to key components, including drive modules mounted on rail-system for safe, easy servicing
