Estel-Drive is a family of high voltage frequency converters (HVFC) for asynchronous and synchronous AC motors.

Estel-Drive frequency converters automatically maintain the operational parameters of machine assemblies at the required levels in accordance with the pre-set modes of operation of technological equipment, preventing the excessive power consumption from the supply network and reducing the losses in motors due to the decrease of their loads.

The HVFC Estel-Drive is made on the basis of IGBT (insulated-gate bipolar transistors) and meets the highest international standards as regards the harmonic distortions of current and voltage, both at the input and output of the frequency converter.

Main advantages:

• Optimal price with the highest quality
• Approximately sinusoidal waveform of the output current; the power mains is not affected by higher harmonics
• The presence of a multiple-winding power transformer in the system allows the voltage conversion: the voltage can be 10 kV at the input and 6 kV at the output, or vice versa
• Enhanced reliability of operation through the function of automated bypass of a failed cell
• Functions of automated HVFC bypass
• Length of the cable to the connected motor is up to 1,000 m
• Built-in PID controller
• Possibility to synchronise the operation with ancillary equipment
  
• Integration in the ACS and enterprise monitoring system (SCADA), etc.
