- Going Green - For nearly 50 years, Bonitron and its team of experienced engineers have provided the world with quality industrial electronics. The same is true today with an even higher emphasis on efficiency to continue to reduce wasted energy. By offering "green" products that reduce wasted energy Bonitron is able to better serve both its customers and the environment. Browse our solutions below to see how Bonitron can help your organization waste less money and energy.

M5650PV Super Booster

- Use standard, off-the-shelf, 3-Phase VFDs with alternative energy systems -

Solar and wind applications use low voltage (12, 24, 36, or 48) battery banks and can only use special, low voltage DC drives and motors that have lead times and can be plagued with maintenance issues. The M5650PV Super Booster provides up to a 15:1 increase in DC voltage, allowing you to use typical off-the-shelf 208/230VAC, 3-phase VFDs and motors on alternative energy systems. The Super Booster takes the low voltage battery system and boosts it to 300VDC. The Super Boost module also allows use of low voltage batteries or ultracapacitors to protect drives from short term power outage events, making low hp Ride-Thru systems smaller and more affordable.

M3345 Line Regen

- Return regenerated energy to the AC line for power instead of wasting it as heat -

In applications with extended braking times, high horsepower, or where frequent regeneration occurs, the M3345 is the most economical solution due to substantial energy savings! When a resistive absorber kit is used, the regenerated energy is dissipated as heat and the energy is wasted. With Bonitron’s M3345 Regen Module, the regenerated energy is returned to the input AC line at 95% efficiency. Substantial energy savings result as the regenerated energy can now be used to power other equipment and the cooling requirements for the control room are reduced.

Also, today’s system integrators are demanding smaller and smaller variable frequency drive packages. Therefore, Bonitron offers the standard Line Regen in a smaller enclosure. The tall and thin “servo” or “bookshelf” chassis mirrors the latest in drive designs. The M3345 Type-1 “bookshelf” chassis offers the same protection and operation as the Bonitron Type-13 Regen in the convenience of a small package. The Type-1 chassis is an ideal solution for applications where space is limited.
