Variable frequency drives

The DG1 general purpose drives form part of Eaton’s proven PowerXL series, and they are specifically designed for use in demanding, cutting-edge applications. The DG1 is a universal drive, with a special emphasis on pumps, fans and conveyor belts. Thanks to their energy-saving algorithm, high short-circuit rating and sturdy design, the DG1 devices offer enhanced efficiency, safety and reliability and come with all major global approvals. In addition to easy handling and a space-saving design, the DG1 drive is also characterized by a comprehensive range of on-board interfaces and communication protocols. The existing inputs/outputs can be expanded via two additional slots. By means of an optionally available WLAN module, the devices can also be easily integrated into industrial wireless networks. With mains voltages of 230 V, 400 V to 500 V, and 525 V to 600 V, the DG1 drives cover the performance range from 0.75 kW to 160 kW.

Configuration made easy

The PowerXL DG1 drive is easy to configure, thanks to the integrated LCD display. Only 18 parameters are required to set up the basic functions: motor data, frequency range, date, time, language. Once the system is configured, the application is ready for operation.

Tough in harsh environments

The DG1 devices have high temperature and short-circuit tolerance: they can operate at full capacity up to +50 °C without derating. They also have a high short-circuit proof rating (100 kA), ensuring safety and stability. They have long-lasting fans and a flexible fan controller that reduces the risk of failure. Their enhanced PCB shields them from moisture and corrosive air. Thanks to their high protection level of IP54, these devices can be installed without control panels and can be mounted in various orientations and locations to meet the needs of the application.

Connect everywhere with Profinet option board

The DG1 variable frequency drives are compatible with various communication modules that enable them to connect to different network protocols. For applications that require Ethernet networks, the DG1 offers a Profinet option board. This board supports a dual-port interface, which simplifies the creation of a line-structure. By linking the DG1 to Profinet, you can access real-time data from your system, making it easy to diagnose and and maintain your equipment. Moreover, you can save time and resources on wiring, testing and commissioning.

Configuration made easy, with the Power Xpert inControl tool

The Power Xpert inControl software for PC, which is included in the One Installer package, will support you during commissioning. In addition to the general configuration and diagnostics features, the software can also be used to read out the integrated oscilloscope. You can record data for up to eight channels simultaneously in increments of 10 ms. As well as the PowerXL range, the Power Xpert InControl tool will also be used for all future communication enable devices.

Accessories for PowerXL Drives

We provide a variety of accessories that are designed for our PowerXL variable frequency drives, as well as some that are compatible with other products. These accessories include line reactors, load reactors, sine filters, and braking resistors. They enable you to customize the range and adjust to different EMC environments and line-side operating conditions.

Harmonics

The DG1 variable frequency drives have built-in DC-chokes that reduce harmonic distortion and improve power quality without adding extra cost. They can achieve a typical level of 30% THDi (total harmonic current distortion). If your application requires even lower harmonic levels, Eaton provides optional passive harmonic filters that can lower the THDi below 5% (8% below 40% load). This enables you to comply with the IEC 61000-3-2 & IEC 61000-3-12 standards as well as the IEE 519 requirements for UL installations.

Eaton will support you with all aspects related to energy efficiency.

The ErP Directive and the increasing automation of machines are driving the demand for variable speed devices, even in simple applications. What does complying with the ErP Directive mean for you, and how can you make your applications more energy efficient? You can find answers to these and other questions in our comprehensive white papers and brochures, as well as in our podcast with energy-efficiency experts from Eaton.
