Among its features are an auto-tuning sensor-less vector mode, which takes the device beyond simple V/Hz motor control. This advanced feature allows users requiring greater dynamic speed or torque control for their application to benefit from the drive's enhanced 0.5 percent speed and 5 percent torque accuracy.

Other features include output frequency up to 650Hz, three-phase 400V supplies in all five-frame sizes and a full 150 percent overload for one minute.

Thanks to its conformally-coated PCBs, AC10 is compatible with class 3C3 environment use.

Complementing the AC10 is Parker’s MR Series of IE2 ac induction motors, which start from 0.09kW.
