Patriot Series drives have dual voltage capability, (115 VAC or 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz) and operate 90 or 180 VDC SCR brush-type motors (from 1/8 to 2 Hp). Both the MC10 and MC10-R use SCRs to provide full-wave rectification of the AC line input. Users make wire connections to the screw terminal block inside the enclosure and operate the drive through the pre-mounted speed adjust knob and power (MC10) or direction (MC10-R) switch.
- NEMA 4X enclosure: Plastic enclosure protects against outer corrosive material and incidental contact.
- Speed range and regulation: 1% regulation over 60:1 speed range.
- User adjustable calibration pots: IR compensation, minimum speed, maximum speed, torque limit, acceleration, and deceleration.
- Diagnostic LEDs: LEDs for power and current limit status.
- Clean, logical design: Power/Direction switch and speed adjust knob located on front of case for easy operation.
- Screw and spade terminal: Quick and easy wire terminations.
- Inhibit terminal: Allows users to remotely coast the drive to minimum speed by closing the contacts.
- Dual voltage AC input (115 or 230VAC), AC line fuse, and field voltage for shunt wound motors.
