“The Industrial Workhorse” F7 Drive “The Industrial Workhorse”
Product Position The F7 Drive is the “Industrial Workhorse.” It is the best choice in a single drive format for every conventional industrial drive application in its range of ½ to 500hp. The F7 is dual rated to enable best choice for Normal Duty (Variable Torque) machine loads and Heavy Duty (Constant Torque) machine loads. The F7 has four available control modes: V/f,V/f w/PG, Open Loop and Closed Loop Flux Vector.
