Outdoor variable frequency drives
30 April 2018
Invertek Drives has launched a new range of IP66 outdoor rated variable frequency drives; the Optidrive E3 IP66 enclosed drives range is rated at one of the highest levels of protection for outdoor use, making it an ideal solution for external fans, pumps, marine and HVAC equipment, among others.

Easy and fast to commission, the range is able to withstand outdoor conditions with its IP66 rated dust tight and power wash protected polycarbonate plastic housing, which withstands degradation by ultra-violet light, greases, oils and acids.
“Capable of being direct machine mounted, the Optidrive E3 IP66 reduces the need for additional external cabinet protection or housed away from the machinery it’s controlling. It also provides a very clean and energy efficient control alternative to the traditional gearboxes, belts and chains often used in outdoor applications," says Rhydian Welson, sales & marketing director at Invertek.
