CONVERTEAM P112-6052 Product Introduction
1. Product Overview
The CONVERTEAM P112-6052 is a high-performance industrial variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for precise speed and torque control of AC induction motors in heavy-duty applications. As a key model in Converteam’s P112 Series (now part of General Electric’s Industrial Solutions), it integrates advanced power electronics, adaptive control algorithms, and robust thermal management to deliver reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Ideal for industries such as mining, metallurgy, water & wastewater, and heavy manufacturing, this VFD is engineered to control motors driving equipment like conveyor belts, pumps, fans, and crushers. It supports both constant torque and variable torque loads, optimizing energy efficiency while protecting machinery from overcurrent, overvoltage, and thermal overload. Its compatibility with standard industrial communication protocols enables seamless integration into existing control systems (e.g., PLC, DCS), making it suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects.

3. Product Specifications & Features
3.1 Core Specifications
The CONVERTEAM P112-6052 is engineered to balance power, precision, and durability for heavy-industry applications. Its rated power ranges from 75 kW (400 VAC) to 90 kW (690 VAC), making it suitable for medium-to-large motors commonly used in conveyors, pumps, and crushers. The VFD supports 3-phase input voltages (380–480 VAC / 525–690 VAC) and delivers adjustable 3-phase output (0–input voltage, 0–500 Hz), enabling precise speed control across a wide range of operating conditions.
In terms of control flexibility, it offers three key modes: V/f control (for simple open-loop applications like fans), sensorless vector control (for high-precision speed regulation in pumps or conveyors), and torque control (for load-sensitive tasks like material handling). With efficiency levels of ≥96% (400 VAC) and ≥97% (690 VAC), it reduces energy waste compared to fixed-speed drives—critical for applications requiring 24/7 operation. The built-in protection suite guards against common industrial faults (overcurrent, short circuit, motor overload) to minimize downtime and extend equipment lifespan.
3.2 Key Features
- Adaptive Control Algorithms: The sensorless vector control mode automatically adjusts to load changes (e.g., varying material weight on a conveyor), maintaining stable speed and torque with ±0.5% speed accuracy. This eliminates the need for external speed sensors, reducing installation complexity and cost.
- Robust Thermal Management: Forced air cooling with variable-speed fans prevents overheating by matching fan speed to the VFD’s thermal load. This design extends fan lifespan (reducing maintenance) and ensures reliable operation even in high-temperature environments (up to 50°C).
- Energy Efficiency Optimization: The VFD’s variable torque control mode reduces power consumption for fan/pump applications by adjusting speed to match demand (e.g., lowering pump speed when water pressure is sufficient). This can cut energy costs by 20–40% compared to fixed-speed drives.
- Seamless System Integration: With a standard RS485 (Modbus RTU) port and optional Profibus-DP/Ethernet IP, the P112-6052 integrates easily with PLCs, DCS, or SCADA systems. Remote configuration and monitoring via these ports eliminate the need for on-site adjustments in hard-to-reach locations.
- User-Friendly Operation: A built-in digital keypad (with LCD display) allows for local parameter setup and status monitoring, while the modular design simplifies maintenance—critical components (e.g., fuses, cooling fans) can be replaced without disassembling the entire unit.
- Wide Environmental Tolerance: Operating from -10°C to 50°C and resisting 5%–95% non-condensing humidity, the VFD performs reliably in harsh industrial settings, from hot metallurgy plants to damp water treatment facilities. Its altitude derating capability (up to 2000 m) also makes it suitable for mining operations in high-elevation areas.
