Performance features

Excellent control performance:

Closed-loop torque response is below 10ms, steady speed accuracy is 0.02% and speed ripple is 0.2%;

Open loop torque response is below 20ms, steady speed accuracy is 0.2% for synchronous motor and 0.5% for asynchronous motor;

Broadband speed regulation features, the maximum output frequency is 1200Hz and the lowest carrier frequency is 1 KHz.

High starting torque characteristics - adapt to the low frequency cutting of the machine tool

High low-frequency torque: In the open-loop vector mode, 150% of the rated torque could be output at 0.5Hz. While in a closed-loop vector mode, 200% of the rated torque could be output at 0Hz.

Stable high-speed field-weakening control - can adapt to machine overclocking operation and wide-range speed control

The brand-new flux-weakening control algorithm combined with the high-bandwidth current vector algorithm enables stable high-speed field-weakening operation and supports up to 12 times of field-weakening high-precision output.

Software suppression function - enables quick start and stop of the machine tool

Over-current suppression

The over-current suppression function can avoid frequent over-current alarms of the frequency inverter. When the current exceeds the current protection point, the over-current suppression function can limit the current continuously within the current protection point, thereby protecting the safety of the equipment and avoiding the over-current alarm caused by sudden load or interference in order to reduce the loss caused by unprovoked shutdown.

Over-voltage suppression

The over-voltage suppression function can avoid frequent over-voltage alarm of the frequency inverter. When its bus voltage reaches or exceeds the overvoltage protection point during acceleration and deceleration, the over-voltage suppression function can suppress the rise of the bus voltage by automatically adjusting the operating frequency, thereby protecting the safety of the equipment and preventing the frequency inverter from the over-voltage alarm due to the increment of bus voltage.

Random carrier capability - can suppress spindle motor noise and temperature rise

Compared to the sharp motor noise of the fixed carrier, the output voltage harmonic spectrum of the random carrier is evenly distributed over a wide frequency range and the noise emitted by the motor is softer.

Structural hardware features Simple internal layout and convenient wiring operation

The whole system adopts a narrow body design and is strictly controlled in the structure size. The main body model includes most of the conventional applications, various expansion interfaces and terminals that are arranged in an orderly manner making the wiring operation convenient.

The entire series of AC300-C series frequency inverters adopts a narrow-body book design, which is 60% smaller than the original one and it’s a completely “book machine”.

New structural design - can be used in various harsh environments of machine tools

The electronic device is separated from the air duct of the radiator, in which the capacitor, MOS tube, and relay reinforce are highly protected. The two sides of the frequency inverter adopt a closed design to improve the environmental resistance.
