High Power Handling

With a rated power of 15 kW, the MagneTek GPD506V-A068 is capable of controlling medium to large industrial motors, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications like industrial compressors, large pumps, and conveyor systems. Its robust power handling capability ensures reliable performance even under full load conditions, reducing the risk of motor strain and downtime.

Seamless Integration

Designed to work with complementary components such as the MAGNETEK 22375100 motor control interface module, the MagneTek GPD506V-A068 supports smooth data exchange and system coordination. It is compatible with standard communication protocols, allowing easy integration into existing PLC and SCADA systems for centralized monitoring and control, simplifying system design and operation.

Energy Efficiency

By adjusting motor speed to match actual load demands, the MagneTek GPD506V-A068 significantly reduces energy consumption compared to traditional motor control methods. This efficiency is especially beneficial in applications with variable loads, such as centrifugal pumps and ventilation fans, leading to substantial long-term cost savings and a reduced environmental footprint.

Comprehensive Protection

Equipped with a range of protection features, including overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, short-circuit, and thermal overload protection, the MagneTek GPD506V-A068 safeguards both the drive and connected motor from damage. These mechanisms minimize the risk of equipment failure, extend service life, and reduce maintenance costs.
