Inverter Drives from Parker

Parker recently launched the new AC30V drive for pump, fan and general purpose applications. The design is highly modular which allows for a wide range of communications and I/O modules to be easily added as required while still being built with ease of use and flexibility in mind. The drive features a range of integrated macros for a range of applications and PLC functionality to enable users to create sophisticated control that would previously have required a separate PLC.

Designed for operation in environment class 3C3 and 3C4 for Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) as standard (tested at 25ppm for 1200 hours), temperatures up to 50°C with optional integrated EMC filter to C2 1st environment and DC choke to reduce line harmonics. AC30V also Complies with RoHS substance restrictions in accordance with EC Directive 2011/65/EU.

Parker assists its customers in improving productivity and reducing energy consumption with a comprehensive, range of AC drives and drive systems.

Parker AC drive products are sold, supported and serviced worldwide, with solutions from simple speed control to complex coordinated process control. Parker frequency converters provide precise coordinated speed control, often among multiple motor axes, to ensure process line access.

Parker variable frequency drive products are easy to configure and commission, with simple but flexible function block based configuration tools and connectivity with all major industrial fieldbus networks.

The application of variable speed drive to traditional fixed speed applications, such as in pumps, fans and compressors can yield up to 30% energy savings. In fact, many power utilities and government agencies provide financial incentives to invest in VSD technology

Parkers AC drive products are frequently to be found at the heart of clean power solutions through Active Front End and line regeneration technology, producing additional energy savings through power factor control.
