Section 1: Introduction
1.1
General
Crane Commander series is a high performance 230V or 460V crane and hoist duty inverter
which incorporates a high efficiency Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) design. The output closely
approximates a sinusoidal current waveform to allow variable speed control of any conventional 3
phase squirrel cage induction motor or properly modified wound rotor motor without the need of
special output filters. Please consult Drivecon Corporation if any question exists regarding the
motor planned to be connected to the inverter.
