The KBPW‑240D is a Pulse‑Width Modulated (PWM) control in a NEMA‑4X (IP65) washdown duty, watertight enclosure. This drive is designed to operate permanent magnet and shut wound motors through 7.5 Amps DC. This provides high motor efficiency, and whisper quiet operation, along with less motor heating. This allows for a smaller, less costly motor to be used in most applications. A unique feature of the KBPW‑240D is its active bridge, which substantially reduces the AC line surge current during cycling of the AC line. This allows the control to be turned on and off rapidly without damage to critical components. The active bridge is coupled with a failsafe circuit that will shut down the control if the main power transistor shorts, preventing a dangerous high‑speed runaway condition. Motor burnout is prevented with the Timed Current Limit circuit (TCL).
