Variable Frequency Drive
Variable Frequency Drive
Astro variable frequency drive is suitable for a variety of industrial applications. It is well applicable in all electrical, industrial equipment built with motors, like manufacturing equipment, compressor, elevator, etc. Its reliable SVC vector control and stable operation speed can optimize motor performance and extend its lifecycle, also saving your cost. The Astro variable frequency drive features a faster acceleration/deceleration, faster reacting to load change, and proactive responding while power shedding. In addition, Astro is equipped with a large silent fan, which is conducive to the rapid dissipation of heat; its simplified wiring method and parameter setting are easy to use.
