NORD NORDAC BASE – SK 180E ATEX-compliant frequency inverter

The NORDAC BASE – SK 180E, is an ATEX-compliant, decentralised frequency inverter that allows for economical operation and also comes in protection class IP69K, for complete sealing of the housing, making it suitable for processing applications which require frequent high-pressure cleaning.

This inverter is specifically designed for simple applications and can be mounted (decentralised) outside a switch cabinet. The compact frequency inverter concentrates on the essential functions for pumps and conveyor technology.

The NORDAC BASE includes power ranges up to 2.2 kW and offers easy commissioning and operation. In addition, it is flexible with regards to accessories and function, and a number of communication interfaces make it compatible with all common bus systems.

The SK 180E is designed to control synchronous and asynchronous motors, and energy-efficient operation is possible due to its energy saving function for partial load operation.

It also comes with an integrated PLC, reducing the load on higher-level system control units and allowing for a modular plant design.

The SK 180E can also be modified for operation in explosive environments, depending on the area of application (conductive or non-conductive dust), and the modifications also include the replacement of the transparent diagnostic caps with a version made of aluminium and glass to allow for operation in a hazardous area.
