Large-capacity AC drives

Hitachi America has introduced the high-capacity SJ700 Series of inverters, which extend the model range to 500 hp and significantly expand on the performance, capabilities, and functions of the SJ300.

Three models are being released at this time, offering 250, 400, or 500 hp. An improved Sensorless Vector control algorithm enables the SJ700 to develop more than 150% starting torque at 0.3 Hz. Using the company’s 0 Hz Domain open-loop control mode, the drives can develop 130% torque at 0 Hz, suitable for vertical lift applications. At the same time, the autotuning process is simplified for trouble-free commissioning. Also includes an Easy Sequence build-in programming function, which gives the effect of having a PLC built into the inverter.
