Santern variable speed drive range

The Sinus Nano, Micro and Penta ranges of variable speed drives, manufactured by Santern, have recently been introduced to Australia and New Zealand.

The Sinus Nano covers 0.4 to 2.2 kW to suit a single-phase 200-240 VAC supply and features simple front panel controls. It can operate in basic ‘V/f’ operation or in ‘Sensorless Flux Vector’ mode for reliable torque control and is suitable for all basic motor speed control requirements.

The Sinus Micro is available from 0.4 to 7.5 kW in both single-phase 200-240 VAC and three-phase 380-480 VAC versions and includes ‘Firemode’ operation suitable for HVAC installations. It features 200% starting torque capability and built-in dynamic braking with the option for additional brake resistors when required.

The Sinus Penta is the fully featured flagship drive of the range, available from 4 to 1100 kW in three-phase 380-500 VAC supply and 75 kW to 2 MW in three-phase 525-690 VAC supply. The drive series incorporates a range of control modes with features for adaptation to many types of motor speed control applications.
