Danaher Motion Intros SECO Bronco VFD Series AC Drives

April 19, 2005 by Jeff Shepard

Danaher Motion (Radford, VA), a strategic business of Danaher Corp. (Washington, DC), introduced its new SECO-branded Bronco VFD Series variable-frequency ac drives, which are packed with new features for enhanced operation, including an isolated front-end for reliable operation and a voltage doubler circuit that can output 230 Vac to a motor from a 115 Vac power supply. The dual-voltage inverters can also accept a speed reference signal without a separate isolation card, and are available for up to 1.5 HP operation.

"A jumper allows the user to set the Bronco VFD for automatic or manual restart. When automatic restart is selected, the inverter will restart after a low-voltage fault or power loss once input voltage is restored to a minimum level," stated Product Manager Lou Lambruschi. "Adjustable dc injection braking and coast-to-stop functions are also easily selected via a jumper and provide increased control for application-specific needs, while brake-time and current are easily customized with an adjustable trimmer pot."

The compact Bronco VFD drives are available in three styles to meet various application requirements: chassis; NEMA 4 cast aluminum; and NEMA 4x USDA-rated, white epoxy-coated aluminum with stainless steel hardware.
