Generis is the next generation of AC drive technology, delivering cost effective and highly reliable AC motor control combined with energy regeneration and low input current harmonics.

Generis uses a unique patented switching technology that does not require a DC link. This means Generis gives full four quadrant control as standard, as well as unity power factor and minimal input current distortion. Four quadrant control removes the need for active front end drives or braking resistors, simplifying control of AC motors in complex applications.

Removing the DC link in an AC drive also massively reduces harmonic distortion to the mains supply as well as improving drive efficiency. The drive will control all AC motor types with both open loop and closed loop available to maximise its range of application.

Ideally suited for traditional industries such as converting, metals, print, packaging, presses and test rigs, Generis has been designed to simplify control without compromising performance.

Four easy to use pushbuttons can be used for commissioning with a two-line, 40-character display that entirely negates the need to keep referring to a manual. The simple setup means that Generis can be running within minutes with full autotune capability to maximise motor performance and efficiency.

Graphical programming software platform will be familiar to customers who are used to using and programming the Sprint DC drive range.
