Can I power a DC motor with an Altivar drive?
Issue:
Needs to control a DC motor with an Altivar VFD
Product Line:
All VFDs
Environment:
All
Cause:
Information needed on feature set.
Resolution:
Variable Frequency Drives are designed to power 3 phase induction type AC motors only. They can not power single phase motors, DC motors, or Servo type motors.
They can power 3 phase asynchronous 'squirrel cage' type motors. Some models can also power permanent magnet three phase synchronous motors but this requires very specific information on the motor to configure properly. Mis-configuration of a VFD on a permanent magnet motor can cause permanent damage to the magnet and render the motor inoperable.
