Direct drive motor/drive system

RPM AC Cooling Tower Direct Drive system eliminates the gearbox and mechanical transmission drive for cooling tower applications. The system combines a laminated-frame ac motor with permanent magnet salient pole rotor design and an adjustable speed drive. The fan couples directly to the motor, which is designed for minimal maintenance.

RPM AC Cooling Tower Direct Drive system eliminates the gearbox and mechanical transmission drive for cooling tower applications. The system combines a laminated-frame ac motor with permanent magnet salient pole rotor design and an adjustable speed drive. The fan couples directly to the motor, which is designed for minimal maintenance. Critical motor operational parameters are integrated into the drive’s firmware to provide simplified cooling tower startups. Drive communication networks include Modbus-RTU, Modbus/TCP, LonWorks, Metasys-N2, BACnet, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet and Profibus.
