H2 Series Multi-Purpose Industrial Drives

Ratings from 230 - 600V up to 800HP

Setting New Standards

Benshaw H2 Series Multi-Purpose Industrial Drives set the new standard for variable frequency drives technology. H2 Series drives offer V/Hz or vector control (with ratings for normal or heavy duty applications) for industrial drive applications ranging from 0.5 – 800HP. For fan and pumping applications, optional application software is available to meet the unique requirements of the water/wastewater, irrigation and HVAC industries.

Benshaw H2 Series Multi-Purpose Industrial Drives comply with key industry standards (UL/cUL/CE), offer built-in EMC filters (standard in all 480V models), standard RS-485 Modbus/RTU/BACnet/Metasys-N2 communication cards and a full range of programmable features … making them an ideal choice for OEMs, panel builders and end users alike.
