In more and more applications in mechanical and plant engineering, automation and drive solutions today according to individual demands that even simple movements with low requirements automated. With the compact Basic Performance frequency converter SINAMICS V20, Siemens offers a simple and economical drive solution. SINAMICS V20 is characterized by short commissioning times, simple operation, robustness and cost efficiency. The converter covers with four sizes a power range from 0.12 kW to 15 kW. The work during the project registration and commissioning, as well as the costs during operation must be kept as low as possible. With the SINAMICS V20 you for the correct answer. To increase energy efficiency is the converter with an energy optimal control procedures with automatic flux reduction. It also provides the current energy consumption and has further integrated energy-saving functions. The SINAMICS V20 is compact and can be supplied via different options (such as external BOP, connection cable, filters, braking resistors, shielding) individually to the requirements of the application as well as the demands of the user can be adjusted. The compact and robust devices are tailor-made for the operation of pumps, fans, compressors and conveyor systems, as well as for simple drive tasks in the process and processing industry.This text is machine translated.
