SED2 to BT300
Siemens Industry, Inc.
Introduction
Siemens Industry's BT300 is designed specifically for the demands of today’s HVAC
systems. Increased focus on energy efficiency of variable flow systems has increased the
need for easy-to-use and highly reliable variable frequency drives that reduce the cost of
installation and maintenance while maximizing energy savings.
The BT300 comes standard with unique and industry-leading features:
Motor Switch Ride Through during maintenance the motor maintenance switch can
be opened and closed without stopping or tripping the drive
Thin Film Capacitors eliminate the need to condition or reform the capacitors before
applying power
View/Monitor nine parameters at one time user selectable, users determine the
parameters for their applications
Smallest Type 12 footprint on the market lower shipping cost and easy installation
The BT300 supports Siemens Industry's long-standing, industry-leading backward
compatibility tradition. The BT300 HVAC Drive is backward compatible to SED2
installations.
If your existing SED2 fails on the Electronic Bypass (VBE part numbers) the SED2 can be
refitted with the BT300 VFD. This brings you the latest technology at the lowest possible
cost. In addition, the SED2 to BT300 Migration Kit supports the conventional bypass
(VBA) designs manufactured after September, 2009.
The SED2 to BT300 Migration Kits provide you with all the components necessary to
mount your BT300 quickly and easily in various locations within your facility. Even if
space is limited within your facility, the SED2 to BT300 Kits are available with a remote
mounting option allowing you greater flexibility.
Just follow these guidelines and you will have your system up and running in record time.
