Accessories for AC Drives
The Bonitron M3628PCF can be used for maintenance of stored
capacitors or as a bench top power supply.
When variable frequency drives are stored for more than 8 months,
the internal chemistry of their capacitor banks may change and
need reforming. If these drives are used before the capacitor bank
is reformed, the bus capacitors may fail, destroying the drive.
Bonitron has a solution to this problem with its M3628PCF Portable
Capacitor Former. The Bonitron M3628PCF is ideal for:
• Reforming capacitors
• Providing a portable, variable voltage DC power supply
capable of quickly charging capacitor banks
• Holding capacitor voltage for any length of time desired
The Bonitron M3628PCF is a portable DC power supply with a
manually variable output voltage. Digital displays indicate the
setpoint voltage, output voltage, and current.
This product may be used for many purposes, including:
• Charging
• Discharging
• Forming capacitors
• General DC power needs
Features
