This series offers a balance of compact size and essential features, making it a practical choice for OEMs and light industrial users who need reliable motor control without complexity.
General and Pump/Fan Series for Medium Industrial Loads
The General/Pump-Fan Series ranges from 5.5kW to 22kW and features dual ratings for constant torque (general use) and variable torque (pump/fan boost). This flexibility allows the drives to adapt to different load types efficiently.
Power ratings and prices:
- 5.5kW general rating, 7.5kW pump/fan rating at $401
- 7.5kW general, 11kW pump/fan at $465
- 11kW general, 15kW pump/fan at $605
- 15kW general, 18kW pump/fan at $728
- 18.5kW general, 22kW pump/fan at $818
- 22kW general, 30kW pump/fan at $913
Applications:
- Medium industrial motors
- HVAC systems
- Irrigation and pressure systems
- Breweries and water transfer
- Crushers, agitators, and conveyors
This series is well-suited for industries requiring flexible motor control with the ability to handle both constant and variable torque loads efficiently.
High-Power Industrial Series for Heavy-Duty Applications
For large-scale industrial needs, the High-Power Industrial Series covers 30kW up to 280kW. These drives offer excellent overload capacity and a robust thermal design to handle demanding environments.
Power ratings and prices:
- Starting at 30kW general rating, 37kW pump/fan rating for $1,322
- Up to 250kW general, 280kW pump/fan rating at $10,240
Applications:
- Large pumps and ventilation systems
- Mine sites and crushers
- Industrial compressors and grain handling
- Wastewater facilities and dust collectors
- Manufacturing plants and mixers
These drives provide the power and durability needed for heavy industrial processes, ensuring consistent performance under high loads.
Core Features Across the ProSense 380V Range
All ProSense 380V drives share several key features that enhance their usability and reliability:
Dual-rated output for general constant torque and pump/fan variable torque
Vector control combined with V/F control for precise motor management
150% overload capacity for 60 seconds to handle peak demands
Wide frequency range from 0.1 to 600 Hz for versatile speed control
Comprehensive protection against overload, short circuits, and thermal issues
These features ensure that the drives can adapt to various industrial environments while protecting equipment and maintaining efficiency.
Practical Benefits for Industrial Users
Choosing the ProSense 380V range means gaining access to drives that reduce energy consumption by matching motor speed to load requirements. This leads to lower operating costs and less wear on mechanical components. The compact design of the smaller models saves panel space, while the robust construction of the high-power series supports continuous operation in harsh conditions.
For example, a brewery using the General/Pump-Fan Series can benefit from the dual rating to optimise pump speeds during different production phases, reducing energy use without sacrificing performance. Similarly, a mining operation can rely on the High-Power Industrial Series to control large conveyors and crushers with confidence.
Final Thoughts on ProSense 380V Drives
The ProSense 380V Three-Phase Industrial Variable Speed Drive range offers a practical and affordable solution for a wide spectrum of industrial motor control needs. From compact drives for small OEM machines to heavy-duty models for large industrial plants, these VSDs deliver reliable performance, flexible control, and energy savings.
