Vacon offers a comprehensive range of common DC bus drive products. The product family
covers a number of front-end units, inverter units and brake chopper units in the entire power range
from 1 to 2000 kW at 380 VAC to 690 VAC. The drive components are built on the Vacon NX technology.
Common DC bus components are used in a multitude of combinations. In a typical DC bus configura-
tion, the drives which are braking can transfer the energy directly to the drives in motoring mode.
