What's New?

PowerFlex 6000T VFD Increases Output Frequency up to 120 Hz

As customers increase demand for greater output frequency range, we expanded the PowerFlex® 6000T AC medium voltage variable frequency drive range up to 120 Hz.

The new output frequency range meets the needs of customers operating high-speed applications, even in demanding industrial environments such as oil, gas, utility, mining and water/wastewater. This includes controlling high speed:

  • Compressors
  • Pumps and electro-submersible pumps
  • Mixers

The PowerFlex 6000T VFD also offers the new RealSine™ solution

The option helps reduce input harmonics to significantly lower levels than what is typically seen in the industry. Available from 2.4…4.16 kV up to 215 A, without changing the number of drive transformer secondary windings, each secondary winding is specially phase-shifted to achieve 54 pulse or 72 pulse respectively, compared to traditional 18 pulse or 24 pulse designs for this voltage range.

This new design offers up to 30% improvement in total harmonic current distortion at the primary drive side. By reducing harmonic distortion, the VFD improves system efficiency, reduces energy cost and minimizes power distribution issues on the factory floor. Plus, it doesn’t require additional hardware or affect the drive footprint.

Overview

  • Offers multiple control modes, including flux vector control - featuring up to 150% starting torque with an encoder and a minimum of 100% starting toque without an encoder
  • Reduces peak demand charges by operating near unity power factor throughout the speed range
  • Includes integrally mounted, multi-pulse isolation transformer to help ensure low line side harmonics and high input power factor
  • Includes internally powered ECO fans that provide higher efficiency and reduced losses
  • Includes optional automatic power cell bypass which helps maximize uptime in your critical applications
  • Offers common modular power cells that are designed for easy removal which minimizes Mean Time to Repair
  • Includes intuitive, easy to use 10-inch color touchscreen eHIM
  • Offers synchronous transfer control up to 10 motors

Premier Integration and Energy Monitoring

  • Includes easy configuration, integration and visualization in the Studio 5000® design environment. The Add-on Profile is the preconfigured data translator, visual user interface, and data configurator all rolled into one. It is also the primary tool that sends drive data to the control system.
  • Features Connected Components Workbench™ software full device profile support, which makes it easier to configure, program and visualize in a single software package
  • Includes extensive input power monitoring functionality for kW, kVA, kVAR, elapsed kWh, MWh, and power factor
  • Quick and secure flash-over-fiber firmware updates for all main control boards and power cells from a single file
  • More comprehensive and faster troubleshooting with the Forensic Data Recorder functionality

TotalFORCE Technology

  • Features flexible high-performance control
    • Includes flux vector, sensorless vector and V/ Hz control with load sharing
    • Features standard Device Logix capability
  • Features real-time operational intelligence
    • Offers predictive and preventative maintenance algorithms
    • Provides real-time alerts
  • Features automated commissioning and optimization with in-built adaptive control capability via
    • Load Observer real-time tuning technology automatically compensates for unknown load disturbances and adjusts for applications with varying inertia and torque requirements during operation
    • Adaptive tuning monitors real-time drive and system performance characteristics via notch filters to identify and suppress potentially harmful resonance and vibration conditions
