Product Description:

The 8EI8X8HWT10.0600-1 is a precision engineered servo drive from B&R Automation which is built under the reliable 8EI Servo Drives series. The servo module is designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial applications and it offers flexible control, high power output and dependable safety features.

The 8EI8X8HWT10.0600-1 servo drive PWM (pulse-width modulation) switching frequency can be set to 5, 10, or 20 kHz as higher frequencies reduce motor noise and torque ripple but increase heat and switching losses. It comes with built in protection mechanisms to prevent damage from overcurrent or thermal overload situations. The highest frequency it can output to motors is 598 hertz which impacts maximum motor speed especially for induction or synchronous motors. It is built to deliver up to 10 kilowatts of output power in peak demand situations for a short duration. This module operates reliably on current supply at 50 or 60 hertz with a ±4% frequency tolerance which ensures compatibility with varying international power conditions and fluctuations. This servo product weighs 4 kgs which impacts considerations for mounting and handling. The required vertical space for wall mounting is 258.5 mm with an optional front cover. When it is powered on it may consume up to 45 amps current which is important for fusing and circuit breaker selection.

The 8EI8X8HWT10.0600-1 servo drive has a default PWM switching frequency of 5 kH which balances performance and thermal efficiency. At this much default frequency its current rating reduces by 0.373 amps for every 1°C above 45.2°C. With a tolerance of ±25% for auxiliary electronics and control logic it accepts 24 volts DC control power. It is rated for installations up to 500 m without derating and above that (to a max of 4000 m), cooling and current capacity may degrade.

Frequently Asked Questions about 8EI8X8HWT10.0600-1:

Q: Why does the 8EI8X8HWT10.0600-1 servo drive offer multiple PWM switching frequencies?

A: Multiple PWM frequencies allow users to balance motor noise, heat generation, and drive efficiency. Lower frequencies reduce thermal load, while higher ones improve smoothness.

Q: How does the 5507 µF input capacity improve performance?

A: High input capacitance helps absorb voltage spikes and stabilizes power delivery during transient loads. It enhances the overall robustness of power input handling.

Q: What is the role of 24 to 8 AWG wire range support in the 8EI8X8HWT10.0600-1?

A: It ensures flexible wiring options for varied installation requirements and electrical load sizes. This makes integration into diverse panels simpler and safer.

Q: Why is derating above 500 m altitude important in servo drive applications?

A: Reduced air density at high altitudes lowers cooling efficiency. Derating maintains drive reliability and prevents thermal overloading in elevated installations.

Q: How does short-circuit protection benefit the 8EI8X8HWT10.0600-1 during operation?

A: It isolates faulted circuits immediately, preventing internal damage. This protection increases uptime and reduces maintenance in industrial settings.
