Power up, slim down

Having 500 kW / 700 hp of power in a single power module, that, at just 130 kg (287 lb) is up to 69 kg (152 lb) lighter than competitors drives is a game changer. Its small footprint and pre-engineered accessories make it easy to install or retrofit in industry-standard cubicles. The drive can be installed in under 30 minutes which is testament to its simplicity.

Control to meet your high-power needs

The 500 kW / 700 hp power module Includes a choice of control stage to meet the needs of any application with induction, servo or hybrid motors. This includes control by the Unidrive M600 and M700 (plus its variant controllers), or by the Pump Drive F600 or HVAC Drive H300 for specialist drive features dependent on your application requirements.

Simple cubicle options

Every accessory required to fit in a cubicle is available to order. Alternatively, the power module can be provided pre-assembled in its own industry-standard cabinet, with user-selectable system components included. This is the ready to use DFS series free standing format.

Installation and servicing

A single installer can handle wiring and connection using comprehensive accessories.
Under 30 minutes to replace the drive using service accessories.
During service, factory-tested spare parts (sub-assemblies) can be exchanged on site without having to replace the complete drive.
Wider front face design & lower centre of gravity provide greater physical stability and safety during installation.
Always smaller than an existing drive when retrofitting, so will always fit space available.
Fixed lifting points on the chassis (no additional brackets required) for safe handling.
No additional chokes are required for the vast majority of applications using a single module.
Online diagnostic app aids commissioning & user support.
A compact Active Front End solution is available with an LCL filter and cubicle integration accessories.

Controls, communications & configuration

Renowned Unidrive AC motor control extended up to 500 kW (700 hp) in a single power module.
Optimised for the key high-power drive applications of fans, pumps, compressors and extruders.
As powerful as any other drive on the market, yet very light and easy to handle.
All leading industrial communications protocols supported, on-board as standard or with user fitted options.
On-board machine and motion control, open programming architecture and safety features.
12-pulse operation as standard for supply current harmonic reduction.
Enhanced IGBT protection during short circuit protects against external fault conditions.
Novel capacitor bank protection provides enhanced reliability and increases up-time.
