Description

Product Introduction

6MDBN-8P0101 belongs to Reliance MD60 compact three-phase AC variable frequency drive series, later acquired by Rockwell Automation and discontinued in original mass production. It is rated 2HP/1.5kW compact inverter with frame size A, DIN rail mount design, standard built-in front panel keypad for local parameter setting. Available stock includes original unused surplus and fully load-tested refurbished units for legacy production line maintenance and drive replacement of fan, pump and conveyor equipment.

Model Definition

6MDBN is base series code for MD60 three-phase input drive; digit 8 stands for rated continuous output current 8.0A; P corresponds to 2HP(1.5kW) power grade; suffix 0101 means standard version without built-in EMI input filter. Different suffix digits only configure internal filter or enclosure option while keeping power terminal and control pin definition consistent.

Technical Specifications

Rated input: three-phase 200–240VAC, 48–63Hz; three-phase output voltage 0–230VAC, output frequency range 0–240Hz, rated output current 8.0A, rated power 1.5kW(2HP). Overload capacity: 150% rated current lasting 120s for heavy-load startup; carrier frequency adjustable from 2kHz to 16kHz. Protection class IP20 for indoor cabinet installation. Operating ambient: -10℃~+40℃(closed cabinet), -10℃~+50℃(open mounting); storage temperature -40℃~+85℃, working humidity 5%–95% non-condensing, certified with UL and CSA industrial safety standards.

Interface and Communication Configuration

Front equipped LED digital display plus operation buttons and onboard speed potentiometer for local frequency adjustment. Bottom terminal block contains main power terminals(R/S/T input, U/V/W motor output) and independent control terminal group: 4-channel digital input, 1-channel 4–20mA analog speed input for remote speed command and interlock logic. Standard model reserves optional RS485 expansion port supporting Modbus RTU for PLC networking centralized control; dedicated terminal for external dynamic braking resistor wiring to realize fast deceleration.

Core Functions

Adopts V/F open-loop control to realize stepless speed regulation of three-phase asynchronous motor, supports 8 preset multi-speed parameters configurable via internal menu. Multiple stop modes available: ramp stop, S-curve deceleration, DC injection braking and coast stop matching different process loads. Complete fault protection covering overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, heat sink overheat, input phase loss and motor overload; stores three groups historical fault codes for after-failure troubleshooting, equipped with automatic restart after brief power dip recovery and momentary power ride-through function.

Application Scenarios

Mainly applied to medium-small power transmission equipment: workshop conveyor drive, packaging machine auxiliary motor, medium-sized centrifugal fan and water pump, textile equipment roller drive, food processing mechanical transmission; widely used for old production line renovation and spare replacement of papermaking, chemical, light industrial automation field.

Operation and Maintenance Instructions

Cut off main input power and wait minimum 15 minutes for DC bus capacitor full discharge before disassembly or wiring modification. Quarterly maintenance: clean radiator and internal dust with dry low-pressure compressed air, tighten power and control terminal screws to avoid loose contact overheating. When motor speed jitter or frequent protection shutdown occurs without motor winding damage, firstly verify drive parameter setup and external analog signal circuit before replacement. Prevent high voltage misconnection to low-voltage control terminals to avoid internal mainboard burnout; select matched braking resistor according to factory parameter table when configuring dynamic braking.
