Nord Nordac Variable Frequency Drive

Customizable with a functionality that meets a variety of application demands, Nord Drivesystems variable frequency drives can be installed close to a motor or mounted directly onto a gearbox. Compatible with all common bus systems, decentralized NORDAC VFDs also can be used as motor starters. The NORDAC BASE model is suitable for simple, decentralized drive solutions, while the NORDAC FLEX version offers larger functional ranges, an extensive plug-in capability, and parameter transfer. The drives are available in 1-, 4-, and 10-hp sizes.
