The Vacon 100X for decentralised applications

A decentralised AC drive solution with an unmatched power range of up to 37 kW. The VSD has highly advanced control capability which guarantees processes run exactly how you want them to. The IP66/Type 4X Outdoor enclosure opens up a whole range of possibilities for a standard drive. Cabinets, shielded cabling and electrical rooms are no longer needed, meaning that the drive can be placed as close to the motor as necessary. This makes it perfect for scenarios where external factors may be an issue, such as retrofitting, rooftop and applications that are subject to regular washdowns.
