HIGH EFFICIENCY - The Wattmiser II system has better overall system efficiency compared to other methods of controlling the speed of a motor such as secondary resistance, eddy current clutches and adjustable frequency drives (AFD's). The reason for this is that the controller handles only a portion of the motors' rated output power.

HIGH POWER FACTOR - Power factor is .95 or better over the entire operating speed range without external power factor correction capacitors. Power factor is set electronically within the Line Inverter controller.

HARMONIC FREE - EXCEEDS IEEE 519 SPECS

IGBT BASED POWER CIRCUIT

CLEAN INPUT POWER - The Wattmiser II system draws sinusoidal currents virtually free of harmonics, exceeding the latest requirements of  IEEE-519 for both voltage and current. Large harmonic filters are unnecessary. No tedious and time consuming harmonic study is required.

SMALL SIZE - The Wattmiser II system is physically smaller and requires much less floor space than AFD's of equivalent horsepower.

STANDARD MOTOR INSULATION - Motor windings are effectively shielded from high voltage, high frequency switching spikes which can be a problem with AFD's. No special motor winding techniques or insulation system is required which makes the Wattmiser II controller an ideal match to existing wound rotor motors.

LOW POWER COMPONENT COUNT - Incorporated within the Wattmiser II power circuit is a Line Inverter and a DC Chopper module which utilize state-of-the-art Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT's). Because the controller handles a relatively small portion of the motor shaft output power, the number of power transistors required is low - typically six per module.

To allow for high switching frequency operation, the module has an integrated low-inductance laminated bus structure for component mounting and power connection. A large integral heatsink is mounted such that cooling air is external to the enclosure.

TYPICAL POWER MODULE

- Isolated base IGBT modules                                                           - Fiber optic gate drive and fault signal                                             - Separate LED gate drive on / off indicators                                 - High density external heatsink cooling

OPERATOR KEYPAD

(insert operator keypad image here)

A "user friendly" door-mounted operator keypad provides controller operating status and fault signals to a 2-line LCD display directly in English. Operating parameters can be entered at any time during drive operation unless deliberately locked out. Command, status and fault interface parameters can also be accessed with the RS232 / 485 port.

NOTES

(1)    Ratings are for adjustable speed range of 50% to 98% of full load speed with centrifugal pump load.

(2)    Standard enclosures are NEMA-1.

(3)    All ratings and dimensions are approximate for estimation purposes only. All dimensions in inches.

(4)    Consult factory for non-standard rotor voltages and enclosures, limited space applications, larger horsepower, and speed ranges other than 50% to 98% of full load speed.

(5)    Motor starter is not included but may be supplied as a separately mounted option.
