AC Drive Advantage
Hitachi IGBT AC drive technology,
developed in conjunction with Siemens,
provides superior performance with
higher top speeds, better gradeability
and stronger retardation due to the
higher switching frequency and better
component cooling in comparison to the
conventional GTO system.
These features increase productivity and
availability, and reduce operating and
maintenance cost.
Lower maintenance costs are achieved
with the use of a brushless alternator,
brushless cooling* and drive motors, dual
channeled air flow through wheel motors
and water cooled components such as
IGBT inverter modules, alternator rectifier
and blower motors.
The Siemens AC motors do not have
commutators, reducing costs and
allowing the truck to achieve higher
speeds. Less downtime and higher
speeds result in more production and
lower cost per tonne.
Full Retarding Capability
Hitachi AC drive systems provide more
rimpull than a comparable DC system.
Full retarding capability means the truck
can be almost fully stopped without
applying the service brakes.
The AC Drive Traction Motors
The Hitachi Dual Path Epicyclic
Planetary design provides high
efficiency and easy maintenance.
Allowing the 1st (outer) planetary carrier
to travel at wheel speed provides
lower operating temperatures - longer
lubricant life, better component life.
Grid Box & Siemens Control Unit
A low profile grid box arrangement has
been designed in consideration for
operator visibility.
The new control cabinet is compact
yet accommodates blower assemblies
that cool the IGBT cabinet, drive system
alternator and wheel motors.
