DC Variable Speed Controls
INTRODUCTION
• The WDC Series variable speed DC motor control is a versatile, general purpose control rated to 2 HP.
• The control has a dual voltage input (may accommodate either 120 or 240 VAC). It is available with an adjustable HP range
of 1/8 thru 1 HP for 120 VAC, and 1/4 thru 2 HP for 240 VAC input.
• Designed for DC Permanent Magnet, Shunt Wound, and some Universal (AC/DC) motors in the above horsepower ranges.
• Incoming AC voltage is also converted to adjustable full wave rectified DC voltage (via a packaged bridge) to operate the
DC motor. Also, a full wave field voltage is provided for shunt wound motors (see page 4 for voltages).
• The control incorporates transient voltage protection with adjustable current limit and an AC fuse for protection. It
features adjustable minimum and maximum speeds along with adjustable acceleration and IR Compensation. Tach feedback
is accomplished thru a connection to a pin (P2) on the printed circuit board.
• The WDC Series has a linear acceleration/deceleration ramp.
• The control also has a barrier type terminal strip for all power and control wiring.
• The enclosed model uses a gasketed cover assembly that is rated NEMA 4/12.
