Honeywell Compact Variable Frequency Drives for Pumps and Fans

Honeywell introduced compact variable frequency drives (VFDs) for controlling pumps or fans in commercial heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment. Honeywell says its compact VFDs, customers can select the specific capabilities they need without paying extra for unnecessary features.

Honeywell compact VFDs are micro drives, and come with essential features, including a standard PI Controller and the ability to program without the need for line voltage. Selectable options include interface, filter, enclosure, inputs, and outputs.

Other features include the ability to program without a standard power supply, small and streamlined size, DIN rail or screw mounting, and side-by-side mounting flexibility, communication with up to seven programming control inputs, up to three programmable control outputs and several fieldbus options.

“Most VFDs are loaded with more features (and cost) than each application warrants,” said Dave Molin, general manager, Honeywell Building Control Systems. “Compact VFDs help customers hold down their installed costs while they tap into the significant energy savings VFDs can deliver.”
