3.1 Area of application
The converter is suitable for motors controlled through the rotating field. These can be induction
motors as well as synchronous motors. The converter is a single drive designed for applications
with a square or constant load characteristic and no regenerative feedback. Typical
applications include pumps, fans, compressors, extruders, mixers, and mills. Redundancy is
optionally available for interruption-free operation when a fault occurs.
Note
Please refer to Chapter "Technical data and drawings" for the converter power range.
3.2 Safety concept
The device and its associated components are subject to an extensive safety concept. When
used properly, the security concept guarantees safe installation, safe operation as well as safe
service and maintenance.
