Variable Speed Drive

Zener 8000
Also known as AC drive, motor speed controller, VVVF, VFD, VSD, Varidrive or PWM Drive, the Zener Variable Speed Drive provides direct control of the speed of an electric motor whilst maintaining high levels of motor torque.
Variable speed drives achieve this speed control by varying the frequency applied to the motor. Using a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) control system the output is controlled to vary the voltage and frequency to the motor
All Types of Loads
-
The ZENER 8000 is designed for all tpes of loads, and allows one model to be used throughout:
-
Sumbersible pumps

All Types of Voltages
-
ZENER 8000 is availalbe in a wide range of voltages and suitable for different supply arrangements
-
Ideal for generator operation
-
Can operate from single phase supply - and ensure maximum torque is delivered
-
Solar DC Powered option available - see below
-
Can also come with DC bus choke, which is enginerred to provde robust solution that overcomes challenges of 480VAC Single Wire Earth Return supply
Robust Enclosures
-
