How to Choose the Right AC Power Source for Your Application
A practical introduction to selecting industrial power conversion equipment for your application.
A static frequency converter changes the power supply frequency for connected equipment. It serves a different purpose from a VFD, which adjusts an individual motor’s speed.
Three series for different applications
AC80 addresses imported and exported equipment. AC60 provides factory-wide AC power. AC50 supports precision equipment requiring stable voltage and frequency.
Questions to resolve before selection
Start with the equipment that needs power, its required output voltage and frequency, and whether the requirement is a single machine, a production area or precision equipment. Those distinctions help narrow the AC80, AC60 and AC50 series described above.
- Record load and operating requirements
- Check input and required output supply
- Compare the published model specifications
