High-performance inverter for harsh environments

August 2016 Electrical Power & Protection

When it comes to harsh environmental conditions, the LSIS-S100-IP66 is readily available and already in use in the agricultural sector for pivot irrigation systems in South Africa.

LSIS Industrial Systems is known for a diversity of inverters that range from general purpose drives to elevation, heavy-duty drives, HVAC specific drives and medium voltage drives. In the low voltage segment, there is a choice of eight different models to suit exacting purposes with pricing to suit the application. Apart from the newest addition, the LSIS-H100 HVAC and pump drive, there is the LSIS-S100 which forms part of a new generation of drives by LSIS.

The S100 is packed with space saving technology making it up to 40% smaller than its predecessor, the LSIS-iG5A, with a reduction of side-by-side installation from 50 mm for the iG5A to 2 mm with the S100.

It is thus with pride that LS Industrial Systems launched the S100-IP66 satisfying the NEMA standard type X4 and IEC 60529 IP66 standard. This drive is available in 200/400 V from 0,4-22 kW. This water and dust proof inverter is primarily aimed at the food and beverage industries, but is as applicable to high humidity or dust environments such as sumps and crusher plants as well.

With its highly visible new generation embedded LCD and tactile keypad, setting parameters, monitoring motor RPM, current and other settings is easily done from the user-friendly layout. A rotatable isolator is built into the drive, allowing one to shut the motor and drive down as and when required.

Cooling is always a consideration with inverters and the S100-IP66 has the usual heatsink and external cooling fan/s, and for additional internal cooling of the PCBs and capacitors, a circulation fan is built into the drive. Operating temperatures are in the range -10 to 50°C, with heavy duty application up to 40°C.

This fully specified inverter is also cost effective, a space saver without the added costs of enclosures and without the worry of having water or dust dampen production.
