The GA800 variable-speed drive is designed to control traditional and emerging motor technologies through 600 hp. It provides flexible network communications, embedded functional safety and easy-to-use tools featuring mobile device connectivity. Features include a high-resolution multilanguage display with setup wizards and data-logging, Bluetooth and DriveWizard Mobile, programming without main power through an embedded USB port, advanced open-loop vector for almost tripless operation, an integrated brake transistor (up to 125 hp and embedded safe torque off to minimize downtime for applications requiring occasional intervention (SIL CL3, PLe, Cat. 3). The drive is available in 240-Vac, three-phase (1- to 150-hp) and 480-Vac, three-phase (1- to 600-hp) models.
