May 8, 2019 - Mitsubishi Electric Automation announced the release of the FR-XC Series Multi-functional Regenerative Converter, offering supplemental hardware for Mitsubishi Electric’s FR Series of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). Geared towards end users in crane and material handling applications, the regenerated energy from one VFD in a lift application is used by another VFD to drive other motors in the system.
Used as a replacement to the network of transistors and resistors used in dynamic braking, the FR-XC Series can be used in three different modes of regeneration: dynamic braking regeneration, DC common bus regeneration, and harmonic mitigation (in DC common bus mode only). These modes can be further combined with the FR-XCL, FR-XCB or FR-HAL Series stand-alone reactors, and have different restrictions and applications.
