PMF743-4

The PMF Series is the latest offering in a growing list of VFDs from American Control Electronics. Able to control 115 and 230 VAC, single and three phase motors, the PMF Series is designed to meet the market demands of VFD users who wish to simply run their motors without the complicated menu-driven setup typical of most VFDs today.

The onboard microprocessor allows for custom programming for OEMs. Whether it’s as simple as changing the purpose of a jumper, input, or trim pot, to programming entire routines and behaviors specific only to the OEMs application, the PMF is great for integrating PLC like functionality into your operation. Doing this can eliminate the need of a separate PLC altogether or enhance a system that currently does not have one.

The PMF Series is certified to the new UL 61800-5-1 Standard, meaning not only does it contain isolation for remote control from an analog signal, but also has internal Motor Overload Protection circuitry. If a motor requests more amperage than the motor overload protection setting, the drive begins an internal countdown until faulting out. The higher the overload condition, the faster the countdown. With motor overload protection built into the PMF Series, users won’t have to install expensive external devices to perform this function to meet future UL requirements.
