MP1200A5

The Control Techniques MP1200A5 falls under the Mentor MP series and is classified as a DC drive. This unit is optimized for applications requiring high power, as it provides an output power of 680 kW at a voltage rating of 575 V. The drive operates within an input voltage range of 500 to 600 VDC and delivers a substantial output current of 1200 A, which is essential for managing high-performance DC motors.

As a non-regenerative drive with single quadrant functionality, the MP1200A5 is best suited for motor control where the energy flow is unidirectional, typically used in situations that do not require energy regeneration back to the supply. This unit utilizes forced air for cooling purposes, ensuring efficient thermal management during operation.

The drive is compatible with AC control power in the range of 208 to 480 VAC and is enclosed in an open-type housing rated as IP20, offering basic protection against solid objects while emphasizing accessibility for maintenance. A conformal coating is utilized on the unit for enhanced protection against environmental contaminants. The MP1200A5 also accommodates optional communication interfaces through CI modules, allowing for integration into automated control systems.

With a frame size of 2C, this compact design simplifies installation while maintaining a hefty output horsepower of 910 HP at 575 V. The combination of high output capabilities and reliable features makes the MP1200A5 a strong choice for demanding DC motor control applications.
