Eaton VFDs - A Wide-Ranging Variety of Applications

The portfolio of Eaton variable frequency drive (VFD) products, also catalogued under adjustable frequency drives, provide system managers a unique combination of compact design, significant flexibility in application and control, and a clean power operation in one. VFDs have become essential system management tools for engines that have to sync with other industrial systems, and Eaton’s products allow both for upgrading as well as renovation of a variety of environment scenarios.

The ACE DG1

Specifically built to be bullet-proof, the ACE DG1 stands alone with its explosionproof rating and benefits for ultra high-risk applications. The last thing anyone wants in a volatile system environment is a component that can trigger a cascading event. The Eaton ACE DG1 ensures that a safe control can be mounted in a compact form right next to the motor targeted as well as with a protected chassis. And it still includes all the standard VFD benefits of adjustable controllers, diagnostics and energy efficiency.

CFX VFDs

Being intentionally designed with tuned passive filters, the CFX VFDs from Eaton are ideal when line harmonics needs to be eliminated or minimized as much as possible. Because the CFX design is a built-in safety stop against overloading and overheating, it’s ideal as a VFD for generators and other sensitive electrical motors and engines.

The CPX-18

As an 18-pulse VFD the CPX-18 from Eaton produces one of the cleanest energy control points. It’s an ideal application to prevent damage on upstream transformer channels.

The LCX VFD

Where temperature is a key sensitivity, the LCX liquid-cooled VFD is a perfect controller to put in place. It can run with a cooling resource of basic potable water base or alternatively a water-glycol base for a coolant. Both are great heat sinks, and the LCX VFD becomes the controller of choice for a UL Type 4X environment.

Ethernet Switching - What You Should Know

  Local Area Networks (LANs) were once accustomed to the use of connectors like repeaters and hubs until Ethernet Switches came to be in the 90s. Connectors, as their title implies, are those additional pieces that make computers possible to connect . But the specific Ethernet Switches function at the OSI model's data link layer 2. Categorized under "network bridges" , these switches are unlike the also known router . With Ethernet switching, information transfer happens to all connected network devices regardless of which is which. With routers, on the other hand, the relay of data is restricted to a specific device in the network. In Ethernet networking technology , the term Bridges could take the place of Switches and the same applies the other way around. Although, a connector must be completely tested and proven to comply with the Ethernet 802.3 networking standard for it to deserve the title of being an Ethernet Switch . Ethernet Switching, although highly simi...

Modernization and Eaton VFDs

  System modernization comes with many benefits , but to make it work effectively, a plant must work with the right controls. If hampered with old ones, the advantages of modernization become lost as they go through legacy bottlenecks that are not responsive or able to handle the higher capacity of advanced technology . Breakthrough Mismatches in Systems Eaton VFDs make it easy for companies and system operations to modernize their system controls effectively and in ways that match the expectations of advanced changes. Not only do Eaton VFDs already come with the durability and reliability expected of industrial variable frequency drives in the first place, but Eaton VFDs also add new advantages that directly contribute to saving money, time and resources from legacy waste. Multiple Benefits Available If Configured Correctly Modernization is critical now more than ever. Aside from 2020, production and system support companies are already seeing an exponential increase in au...

Carrying Out Underfloor Heating Maintenance

Electrical underfloor heating is well known for its reliability . The ease of installation , lack of water pipes and reduction in general wear and tear means that there is very little that can go wrong with an underfloor heating system . However, things can go wrong. If you follow these simple steps, your underfloor heating system should give you many years of problem-free, comfortable heat . And if anything does go wrong, problems can be easily located and fixed. Test, test, test If you want to minimise the chances of any future problems you should test the heating system before, during and after installation. Use a multimeter to check the resistance in the system, to ensure a current is going through it and none of the wires have been damaged . Before laying the flooring, switch the system on to ensure it begins to heat up . Any problems with the system should be revealed at this stage. Once the tests have been passed, and the flooring laid, there is very little chance of ...
