The Reliance Electric Standardfor Standard Drive Solutions 1ST

Reliance Electric is giving new meaning to the word

“standard,” with highly functional pre-packaged products

that are simple to install and affordable to operate

in an expanding range of horsepower capabilities.

• Machine-mounted drives provide extended

environmental protection in the most rugged industrial

applications.

• Cabinet-mounted drives, with the smallest possible

footprint, integrate easily into existing applications.

• Truly integrated drive/motor products extend

variable-speed performance to a wider

range of AC and DC applications.

Reliance AC drives are designed to meet industrial

demands for space reduction and cost efficiency while

providing speed and directional control, overload

protection, soft-start capabilities, and fault diagnostics.

Reliance DC drives are designed for new machinery

applications demanding the proven cost and

performance benefits of DC design, and for retrofit

DC motor applications requiring enhanced

DC drive performance.

The industry’s first truly integrated

drive/motor products, the Reliance

VSM™ family, combines a dependable

inverter-duty motor with a digital pulse-width-modulated

inverter in an integral, compact package that reduces panel

space requirements, decreases installation and set-up time,

and reduces wiring and material costs. In addition to

achieving lower total operating costs, this innovatively

packaged product saves energy and reduces component

wear by extending variable-speed performance to a wider

range of industrial fan, blower, pump, and light-duty

conveyor applications.
