Solution A 500 kW Control Techniques’ DFS drive,was just the solution. The pre-assembled, ready to install drive cubicle system, is designed for use in high power applications where energy saving and high ingress protection are essential. Established in 1946, Rewinds & J. Windsor is one of the largest independently owned electric motor and rotating equipment repairers in the UK. Operating across three sites,the company offers a range of electrical,mechanical, and electronic engineering services across the UK and Ireland. The company’s motor testing facility in Liverpool, tests, builds, and repairs a wide range of motors from wind turbines to big brand car motors.

M200’s onboard PLC boosts the intelligent control. Engineers can now program the fountain display from a remote app, saving both time and resources. Furthermore, Unidrive M200 has an easy-to-use fixed LED keypad and a useful, hard-to-miss parameter guide on the front of the drive, aiding set-up, relieving some of the pain points installers typically face.

Solution Navitech purchased eight Control Techniques’ M200 Unidrives via Kimms Electrical to do the job. Exploiting M200’s communication flexibility, Navitech integrated the drives into the fountain control system via Ethernet IP. The variable speed drives control the compressors to regulate the jet sprays’ height, using the Modbus protocol creating an attractive display.

“The Control Techniques’ DFS drive cubicle is doing everything we want. The upgrade to the new system has increased our flexibility as a firm. Moving from our old 250 kW drive to 500 kW means we can now test much bigger motors, up to 1 MW in-house, reducing our service costs. We can now take on more work and test and repair other companies motors.”
