Eaton rules for speedy drive specification

As well as saving time, the tool helps eliminate the risk of choosing poorly matched components for drive systems.

Users of the handy new tool simply slide the inner section until the required supply voltage and motor rating show through windows in the outer section. They can then instantly read off the most suitable variable speed drive from the Eaton’s PowerXL DC1 and DA1 ranges, along with information about compatible Eaton components for use in the drive circuit. These include the mains protection circuit breaker, main contactor and sine-wave filter, as well as optional mains and motor chokes.

For the drive and each of the ancillary components, the full part number is provided, which makes ordering fast and straightforward.
