UMI-0150CU-B7 Unitronics | 15 kW 3 Phase 200-240VAC | VSD
MPN: UMI-0150CU-B7
Alt. SKU: UMI0150CUB7
Why Choose the Unitronics UMI-0150CU-B7 Variable Frequency Drive?
The Unitronics UMI-0150CU-B7 is a high-performance variable frequency drive (VFD) from the advanced UMI-B7 series designed for accurate speed and torque control of industrial AC motors. Rated at 15 kW (20 HP), this inverter operates from a 200–240 V AC three-phase power supply, making it suitable for demanding machine automation, conveyors, pumps and industrial processing equipment that require reliable low-voltage motor control.
The UMI-B7 drive platform integrates advanced motor control technologies including sensorless vector control (SVC), closed-loop vector control and space vector PWM (SVPWM). These technologies deliver smooth acceleration, stable torque output and precise speed regulation across varying load conditions while supporting both asynchronous induction motors and permanent-magnet synchronous motors.
Designed for seamless integration with PLC-based automation systems, the UMI-0150CU-B7 includes built-in Modbus RTU communication via RS-485 and expandable architecture supporting optional communication, encoder and I/O expansion cards. The B7 series also incorporates Safe Torque Off (STO) functional safety and advanced configuration features to simplify commissioning and improve machine safety compliance.
