High Performance Line Regeneration for Elevator Applications. Any time an AC motor is overhauled by the driven load, excess energy is generated and fed back to the inverter. In elevator applications, this condition occurs on virtually every run. This energy must be properly handled to avoid drive faults or possible equipment damage.

Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

RegenAC™ reclaims excess regenerative energy from the motor and supplies it back to the 3-phase AC power system. RegenAC is wired in parallel with the adjustable frequency drive. It takes the place of traditional dynamic braking resistors, which dissipate excess energy into the ambient environment in the form of heat.

Reduces the energy consumed

May qualify for utility rebates

Heat Reducing

Reduces machine room heating created by operation of dynamic braking resistors

Energy Saving Option

Energy saving option with new drive installations or as an upgrade to existing drives

Heavy Duty Rated

Rated for elevator duty cycles

Compact Design

Compact design for optimized panel space

Custom Sizes

Independently sized for regeneration requirements

Braking System

Use in conjunction with traditional dynamic braking resistors when line regeneration is prohibited (i.e. emergency power conditions)

Add to Existing Systems

Add to any existing AC drive to make a regenerative system

Beneficial in gearless applications

Options

MULTIPLE PACKAGING OPTIONS:

  • System Kit - All system components (for customer installation)
  • Panel-Mounted Kit - All system components are panel mounted and factory wired
