LEESON M1740008 Control
The LEESON M1740008 is a professional-grade PWM control speed drive engineered for precise regulation of permanent magnet DC motors. This enclosed DC motor controller features a NEMA 1 rating, making it a reliable solution for standard industrial environments and HVACR shop applications. Designed for versatility, the unit includes a dual voltage switch that allows for seamless operation on either 115V or 230V single-phase service at 50/60 Hz. When configured for 115V input, it supports 90V DC motors (1/40 to 1/8 HP); at 230V input, it drives 180V DC motors (up to 1/4 HP). The pulse width modulation (PWM) technology ensures high-efficiency performance with a 3-amp continuous current rating, providing superior speed consistency compared to traditional SCR drives. This non-reversing DC drive comes equipped with an integrated speed potentiometer for manual adjustment and features internal trimpots for calibrating minimum speed, maximum speed, current limit, and IR compensation, ensuring optimal torque and motor response under varying load conditions.
Key Benefits:
- Dual Voltage Versatility: Field-selectable input allows for 115/230VAC motor control on the same chassis, simplifying inventory and installation.
- Precision PWM Technology: Delivers a cleaner DC signal for smoother low-speed operation and quieter motor performance.
- Robust Protection: Housed in a durable NEMA 1 enclosure to shield internal electronics from debris in industrial settings.
- Advanced Calibration: Includes IR compensation and current limit adjustments to maintain RPM stability and protect the motor from overcurrent.
Common Questions:
What motor types are compatible with the LEESON M1740008?
This drive is specifically designed for permanent magnet DC motors. It is not compatible with wound-field DC motors or three-phase AC motors. Always match the motor armature voltage to the drive’s output (90VDC or 180VDC).
Can I use this control to reverse the motor direction?
The M1740008 is a non-reversing DC control. If your application requires frequent directional changes, you will need to install an external reversing switch or opt for a dedicated four-quadrant regenerative drive.
How do I adjust the torque performance?
The internal current limit trimpot allows you to set the maximum allowable armature current. Additionally, the IR COMP trimpot should be adjusted to compensate for voltage drop under load, ensuring the motor maintains a constant speed even as the mechanical demand increases.
