Hitachi America’s Industrial Components and Equipment Division has launched its next-generation inverter, the NE-S1. The inverters range from 1/2 to 3 hp and have been designed to be ultra-compact to meet the needs of both OEMs and system integrators.
The NE-S1 variable-frequency drive offers the end user and integrator the ability to use the control as is out of the box, with preconfigured defaults settings. In addition, a wide variety of options are available to configure the control for a specific application.
These preconfigured inverters allow for the use of remote-mounted speed potentiometers, contacts or switches and preset speed selections without any parameter changes thus saving time during the installation and integration process.
A wide variety of keypad options are also available to make the NE-S1 inverter a full keypad configurable unit, complete with a built-in speed potentiometer. The NE-S1 allows for the end user to choose the level of customization required that best fits their application.
