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.
Typical applications which involve regeneration to the drive are:
- Stopping high inertia loads such as saws, fans and centrifuges
- Eccentric loads such as slicers, punch presses, stamping operations, tumblers and dryers
- High cycle loads such as machine tool, stackers, and pick and place systems
