New drives offer  product compatibility

SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT NMC gives customers a single point of communication for all support requirements by offering all the components of the drive system

Global manufacturer of motors and controls for commercial and industrial applications Nidec Motor Corporation (NMC) has, as of April this year, launched a new product range of variable speed products that offer greater product compatibility for a true system solution.

NMC’s newly developed ACCU-series product line enables customers to match electrical American motor manufacturer US Motors’ brand inverter duty motor with an NMC drive panel, or purchase integrated motors and controls.

NMC’s products are solution-driven and designed to be used together as a system. NMC gives customers a single point of communication for all support requirements by offering all the components of the drive system.

When matching a new US Motors’ brand inverter duty motor with an ACCU-series drive, customers will enjoy the benefits of a motor match warranty, which extends the drive warranty to match the warranty of the motor.

NMC has reported expectations of widespread demand for the ACCU-series product line as customers appreciate the quality and performance of the products.

Original-equipment manufacturers and engineering, procurement and construction management companies will benefit from products that require less installation and set-up time that perform more efficiently.

The company has stated that ACCU-series product roll-out will begin with variable frequency drive (VFD) pump panels for agricul- tural irrigation, 3-10HP electronically com-mutated motors with an IE4 (super premium efficiency) rating integrated with tuned VFDs, individual AD700 and AD1000 drives, and the 20:1 constant torque, totally enclosed fan cooled motor. NMC aims to follow this with more prod-ucts from the range due to be released soon.
