iP5A fan and pump inverter

Because it was designed around fan and pump duties rather than adapted to them. The vector algorithm holds torque at low speed, where these drives run for much of the time, and Dual PID with sleep and wake is aimed squarely at holding pressure or flow. On a general purpose drive you would set all of that up yourself, if the functions were there at all.

PID takes a reading from a transducer, compares it with the set point and adjusts motor speed to close the gap, so pressure or flow stays put as demand moves. Dual PID gives you two control loops, which suits a system with two variables to watch. Tell us the sensors and the set points and we will cover the configuration in the quote.

It stops the motor when demand falls away and restarts it when demand returns, instead of running the pump or fan at minimum speed for no benefit. On a system with long quiet periods that saves energy and reduces hours on the motor. The thresholds are set at commissioning to suit how your installation actually behaves.

Yes. The drive is compact and the configuration is simple, which is what makes it practical on an existing system as well as a new build. The usual questions are the motor rating, the space in the panel and how you want the set point controlled. Send those and we will confirm the model against your installation.

Somewhere it can stay cool. HVAC control cabinets often run warm, and heat is what shortens the life of an inverter, so the mounting position and the cooling arrangement are worth deciding before the drive is ordered. Send us the panel details and the ambient temperature and we will say whether the position you have in mind works.
