Optidrive E3 Single Phase Features
Variable frequency drive for PSC & shaded-pole motors
- on board as standard
-
Single Phase Input / Output
Optidrive E3 for Single Phase Motors uses a revolutionary motor control strategy to achieve reliable intelligent starting of single phase motors.
- Removes the need for 3 phase supply wiring
- Provides the same features as the 3 phase Optidrive E3
- The ideal energy saving solution where high starting torque is not required – typically including fans, blowers, centrifugal pumps, fume extractors and air flow controllers
-

Rapid commissioning tool.
Special Boost Phase
To ensure reliable starting of single phase motors, the drive initially ramps the motor voltage up to rated voltage whilst maintaining a fixed starting frequency, before reducing the frequency and voltage to the desired operating point.
