The MP550A4 from Control Techniques is a robust armature current DC drive tailored for demanding applications. Its output current rating of 550 Amps provides substantial power for mid- to high-range motor operations. This drive supports voltages from 24 V up to 480 V, catering to a variety of operational requirements.
With a power rating of 200 kW or 300 HP, the drive is well-suited for industrial environments. It is designed for 2-quadrant operation, making it appropriate for applications that do not require full four-quadrant control.
The weight of the unit is approximately 28.99 lbs (13.1 kg), which facilitates installation and reduces structural load considerations. This drive demonstrates reliable performance across a temperature range of 0°C to 55°C during operation and can be stored at temperatures as low as -40°C up to 55°C.
The MP550A4 has a switching frequency tolerance of -20% to +10% of its rated voltage, enhancing its adaptability in dynamic applications. Its compliance with safety standards EN61800-5-1 ensures safe operation under specified conditions.
This DC drive is designed for environments with non-condensing humidity levels up to 40°C and is suitable for dry, non-conducting pollution conditions. It features various IP ratings for different frames, including IP20 for Frame 1, IP10 for Frames 2A and 2B, and IP00 for Frames 2C and 2D, indicating its level of ingress protection.
Furthermore, the MP550A4 has been tested for vibrations and meets the BS EN 60068-2-27, IEC 60068-2-29, and IEC 60068-2-64 standards, ensuring durability in harsh conditions. The drive can also be equipped with optional communication protocols like CANopen, DeviceNet, Ethernet, Interbus-S, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherCAT, CTNet, and CTSync, providing flexibility in system integration.
