Industry: Energy Utilities

Application: Racking of IVI switchgear

Problem:

  • Manual racking is laborious & time consuming

Features:

  • Equal power in forward & reverse (VC-RAD1 - 76rpm)
  • Soft start trigger & continuous flow of controlled torque
  • Motor supplied for 110 volt UK mains supply  (240 volt also available)
