Why Choose the IMO SD1-2.5A-21 Variable Speed Drive?

The IMO SD1-2.5A-21 is a compact and versatile AC variable speed drive (VFD) designed to provide accurate speed and torque control for three-phase AC induction motors. As part of the advanced IMO SD1 torque vector inverter series, it delivers reliable motor performance, simple commissioning and flexible integration into industrial automation systems.

The drive operates from a single-phase 200 to 240 V AC supply and produces a three-phase output, making it ideal for installations where only a single-phase supply is available but a three-phase motor must be controlled. Torque vector control ensures smooth acceleration, excellent low-speed performance and precise speed regulation for a wide range of machinery applications.

With a rated motor power of 0.4 kW, a 2.5 A output current and an IP20 metal enclosure, the SD1-2.5A-21 is ideal for conveyors, pumps, fans, packaging equipment and OEM machinery requiring dependable, energy-efficient motor control.
