Key Features

  1. 4-quadrant energy regeneration
    Braking energy is recycled to the grid. No external brake resistor is required to cut costs and save installation space.
  2. Built-in STO safety function
    The integrated Safe Torque Off complies with industrial safety standards, which can reliably disable motor torque to protect personnel and equipment.
  3. Compact design
    The small size enables easy installation inside standard control cabinets.
  4. Stable performance & comprehensive protection
    Two control modes ensure steady speed and torque output. Multiple protection functions guarantee long-term reliable operation.

Typical Applications

This inverter is designed for 3.0 kW three-phase asynchronous motors. It is widely applied to medium conveyors, packaging machinery, fans, water pumps and other automated equipment that need energy recovery and safety interlock.
