DART CONTROLS VFD
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DART CONTROLS VFD from 3G Electric.
What input and output phases do Dart Controls EZ VFD drives support?
Dart Controls EZ VFD drives are designed to accept single-phase input power and produce three-phase output. This configuration is common for applications where only single-phase power is available but three-phase motors are required. The drives in the 3G Electric catalog, such as the VF200C-R and VF100C-R, all specify 'In Phase Single, Out Phase Three' in their specifications.
What is the maximum output current for Dart Controls EZ VFD models like the VF200C-R?
The Dart Controls EZ VFD model VF200C-R has a maximum output current of 6 A. This rating is consistent with its 2 hp capacity. Other models in the series, such as the VF100C-R (1 hp), have a lower output current of 3.2 A. Always verify the specific model's current rating to match motor requirements.
Do Dart Controls EZ VFD drives include a bypass feature?
No, the Dart Controls EZ VFD drives supplied by 3G Electric are specified as 'No Bypass' units. This means they do not include a manual bypass switch for running the motor directly from line power. The drive directly controls the motor, and any bypass functionality would need to be added externally if required.
What cooling method do Dart Controls EZ VFD drives use?
Dart Controls EZ VFD drives use a heat sink for thermal management. The heat sink dissipates heat generated during operation, allowing the drive to maintain safe operating temperatures without active cooling fans in some models. This passive cooling approach reduces maintenance requirements and noise.
What enclosure colors are available for Dart Controls EZ VFD drives?
Dart Controls EZ VFD drives are available in multiple color options, including black, blue, and gray. The specific color may vary by model; for example, the VF200C-R is listed with black as a primary color, while other models may have combinations. Check the product specifications for exact color details.
Can Dart Controls EZ VFD drives be used with single-phase motors?
No, Dart Controls EZ VFD drives are designed to control three-phase motors. They convert single-phase input to three-phase output, so they are not suitable for single-phase motors. For single-phase motor control, a different type of drive or speed controller would be required.
