Switch to Sprint Electric for Proven DC Performance

Sprint Electric continues to set the standard in DC drive manufacturing with the PL/X; an energy efficient solution that offers a seamless replacement of legacy DC drives from most manufacturers.

Gary Keen, director at Sprint Electric, highlights why the PL/X has been so successful:

“The PL/X is designed for simplicity of installation, making it ideal for retrofit projects. Switching to the latest DC drive technology from Sprint can significantly enhance energy efficiency and overall system performance.

“Its exceptional reliability and compact design make it a standout solution for manufacturers seeking dependable motor control in space-constrained applications. We have excellent stock availability and will have the PL/X on its way to you within 24 hours of ordering!” said Gary.

The PL/X DC drive range is available in five frame sizes, delivering output power from 5kW (12 amps) up to 980kW (2250 amps).

The Sprint range of DC drives supports single-phase and three-phase supplies, as well as regenerative and non-regenerative applications, enabling manufacturers to optimise performance across a wide variety of industrial processes.

The PL/X gives Sprint Electric customers control of the most demanding DC motor control applications.

Ali Reza, sales manager at Sprint Electric, emphasises the benefits for manufacturers modernising existing systems:

“The DC market is very much alive, with global demand for performance DC drives remaining high. Sprint products are engineered to reduce energy consumption, increase productivity, and minimise downtime in demanding industrial environments.

“Its compact footprint allows manufacturers to reclaim valuable control cabinet space, while our global partner network ensures expert local support. Sprint Electric products are exported to more than 75 countries worldwide,” said Ali.

Sprint Electric’s extensive background in industrial automation is underpinned by its customer-focused approach to performance improvement. Its reputation for innovation and reliability in DC motor control, is built upon its comprehensive portfolio of advanced digital DC drive solutions rated up to 1MW.

The drives are manufactured in the UK, at the Sprint Electric HQ in Arundel, ensuring excellent stock availability and quick delivery for new installations and retrofit projects.
