When a fixed frequency of 50HZ power is needed, Motor-Generators are generally used and work well at providing “bulk power” (power which is distributed to various loads), or loads with unknown electrical characteristics. This application includes providing for testing of 50HZ products or to power to machine tools, pumps, compressors and other types of industrial factory floor equipment. They are especially tolerant to loads with motors or large transformers and other loads which require higher current when first energized than when operating (referred to as inrush current). MG sets typically offer an output voltage adjustment range of +/-8% or more.
Motor-Generator based frequency converters are naturally robust and can be operated in less desirable environments than its Electronic based counterpart. Learn More…
Benefits and Features of Motor-Generator Products
We optimize our rental Motor-Generator sets for rental use providing our rental customers with many built-in benefits, enabling us to retain rental customers year after year. These benefits include:
- Quick & easy installation by design. Each rental MG Set is configured to help minimize the installers’ time. Only connection of input and output cables to clearly marked and easily accessed terminals is necessary. Every MG Set is furnished with an abbreviated Installation & User Guide sheet that helps to eliminate wasted time reading through equipment Owners & Users manuals.
- Rigorously maintained & fully load tested equipment provides our rental customers with peace of mind, and assurance of equipment reliability. We refurbish our rental Motor-Generators on an on-going basis.
- True synchronous ac motor operation, guaranteeing exact 50HZ output frequency with 60HZ input. This helps to insure accurate test results of the UUT or that your load equipment is operating properly as it would from a 50HZ power grid. Nearly all rental Motor-Generator sets operate from three phase input power.
- Precise output voltage regulation of +/-1% or better helps to insure accurate test results of the UUT or that your load equipment is operating properly as it would from a 50HZ power grid. In addition, the output voltage is adjustable +/-8% or more on many models.
- Built-in over-voltage monitor protects your connected load equipment from a detected 50HZ over-voltage condition. This helps to insure electrical safety of the connected load.
- The built-in output circuit breaker electrically protects the generator windings and power wiring to the load. The circuit breaker also provides a method to manually disconnect the 50HZ output power to your connected load without the need to shutdown the MG set. Installation is simplified, so there is no need for the installer to supply and install and external circuit breaker.
- Unit-mounted control panel negates the need for the installer to interconnect the Motor-Generator portion to the MG Control panel during installation. The installer needs only to connect input cables from the utility power source, and the output cables from the MG output terminals to the connected load. All customer power connection terminals are clearly marked for easy, quick installation.
- Extremely Simple / Intuitive Operator Controls enable the user to quickly put the MG set into service without the need to study a complicated operators manual.
- Input & output metering allows the equipment operator to monitor the Motor-Generator input and output voltage and current. Metering is provided on many of our rental Motor Generator frequency converters.
- A Specially Designed Heavy-duty shipping pallet is provided for each rental Motor Generator frequency converter. The heavy-duty pallet is specially designed for easy movement the MG Set into place by forklift or pallet jack. Nearly all of our rental customers leave the MG set bolted to the pallet during the rental period use.
