Working Principle Three-phase AC is rectified to DC; IGBTs invert to variable voltage/frequency to drive the crane motor. The vector control algorithm computes torque from load current; hoisting provides 200 % starting torque. The anti-sway algorithm corrects the speed curve based on position deviation. The braking unit dissipates lowering energy. Brake timing links to motor torque to prevent hook slip.
Installation Requirements
