Toyo Denki Introduces New VF66 Series of Inverters

TOKYO, January 18, 2008 - Accompanying the start of the first commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol, Toyo Denki introduced a new lineup of inverters, the VF66 series, this month.

One of the main strengths of the VF66 series is its control mode switching, a completely new feature. This new feature makes it possible for different types of general-purpose motors (induction motors), inverter motors (special-purpose induction motors), and permanent magnet synchronous motors (Toyo Denki product name: ED Motor) to run by control mode switching. When used with an ED motor, the VF66 series is particularly effective in reducing CO2 emissions thanks to dramatically lower energy consumption. Such a wide range of application selectability means Toyo Denki can offer its customers the perfect energy-saving system for their environmental initiatives, including energy saving and cost cutting.

The seven main characteristics of the VF66 series are as follows:

(1)
Compatible with ED Motors (permanent magnet synchronous motors) and inverter motors (special-purpose induction motors)/general-purpose motors (induction motors).
(2)
Enables V/f control/sensorless vector control/vector control with sensor operation.
(3)
Allows the easy customization of inverters using features such as the versatile built-in PLC.
(4)
Makes design/adjustment more efficient using PC tools.
(5)
Enables factory automation by supporting a variety of open networks. (Available soon)
(6)
Cuts CO2 emissions significantly and saves energy when combined with an ED Motor.*
(7)
Lowers maintenance costs by using long-lasting parts.
* Reference data (comparison with general-purpose induction motors)
Energy savings with a 55kW ED motor over five years: Approx. 500,000 yen
Note: Calculated at 13 yen/KWh


VF66 Series Rollout
Sales of 2.2 to 7.5kW (200V/400V class) models began in January 2008.
The 11kW to 315kW models will be introduced one by one starting in June 2008.
