Control Techniques SP2404

The AC variable speed drive SP 2404 is a sturdy size 2 drive module manufactured by Control Techniques. The SP 2404 offers power and control in a precise package. It is a 3-phase drive that is manufactured for use with appropriate motors, controllers, and electrical protection components in an industrial system. 

Features

Control Techniques does not rate the SP 2404 for normal duty. For heavy-duty, the Control Techniques SP 2404 has a maximum continuous output current of 29 A. The open-loop peak current is 43.5 A and a closed-loop peak current of 50.7 A. The nominal power at 400 V is 15 kW and a 20 hp motor power at 460 V. 

The fault current is limited to no more than five times the rated output current because the output circuit has quick-acting short-circuit protection in place. It interrupts the current in around 20 µs. The Control Techniques drive SP 2404 administers protection in the case of overload. It accomplishes this for the motor and the cable. Please check with the manual to ensure proper cable length for your frequency use is followed. 

How to use an SP 2404

Procedure for changing the operating mode. 

All parameters return to their default value when the operating mode is changed. The motor parameters are also returned to default values.  The two items not changed to default value are the Security status and the User security code. 

To change the operating mode, ensure the drive is not enabled. Then enter either value 1253 or 1254 in Pr xx00.
