AC Drive Options and Accessories
Customize your drive installation peripherals with AC Drive Options and Accessories from Invertek. Installation and network options are designed to complement the OPTIDRIV™ range of Variable Frequency Speed Drives.
Installation Options
Invertek Drives Brake resistors allow dissipation of energy generated from the motor. This allows for shorter stopping times with high inertia loads. Invertek brake resistors are suitable for light duty loads. The resistors can also be mounted directly to the drive heatsink for a convenient, space saving installation method.

Invertek EMC filters reduce the electromagnetic noise tranfer between the drive, and main power supply. All OPTIDRIVE™ VFDs come standard with an internal EMC filter, except when specified by the customer. For most industrial applications this built in EMC Filter will be sufficient. If a higher level of filtering is desired, an external EMC Filter can be added to either the Invertek line of VFD drives, or a VFD drive without a built in EMC Filter. Optimal performance is achieved by using a filtered drive and the appropriate external EMC filter.

Invertek Input chokes can be used to reduce harmonic currents and voltage distortion in the supply line generated by almost all inverter drives on the market today. Invertek Drives has selected a range of chokes matched to the OPTIDRIVE™ series to provide the best reduction in supply current harmonics. The input chokes also enhance protection for the OPTIDRIVE™ against transient voltages, or “spikes”, and other power main born interference.

Invertek Output filters should be used whenever long motor cables are fitted between the OPTIDRIVE™ VFD Drive and the motor. The additional inductance assists in balancing the effect of the cable capacitance. This also helps protect the motor against possible damage. Invertek Output filters should always be used when a non-inverter rated motor is used.
