The Comp-ACTM business process is revolutionary. It makes obtaining low power ac drives easier than ever before.
It comprises two parts:
- A range of low power ac drives, rated from 0,37 to 37 kW
- Services that make the route from our plant to yours as direct as possible
We see low power ac drives as simple electrical components that are easy to buy, install and use in much the same way as soft starters and contactors.
With this in mind, we have designed straightforward motor speed controllers.
They give you benefits such as energy savings, accurate process control and motor protection in a range from 0,37 kW to 37 kW. You choose the features you need to get the simplest variable speed solution.
