Innovative motor controls from Sprint Electric

Sprint Electric designs and manufactures a wide range of digital motor controls up to 1MW, covering single phase and three phase, regenerative and non-regenerative applications. Westin Drives is an authorised partner of this British company.  Its products range from single phase and three phase regenerative and non-regenerative applications to low voltage servo performance controller and digital three phase DC variable speed drives.

A Sprint Electric main motor control

In 2023, Sprint unveiled the Generis,  the next generation of AC drive technology, delivering cost effective and highly reliable AC motor control. All have been designed to increase productivity, optimise space and reduce downtime and are manufactured  to the highest International standards. Members of our sales department will be pleased to advise you on which of these products best serves your needs.

The Sprint JLX-SERIES drives

Sprint JLX Digital AC slip ring drive

The Sprint JLX series is a digital drive system providing 45kW – 975kW output power to control AC slip ring motors. It is built on the same platform as the PLX and provides identical controls. The JLX is designed for retrofit applications on cranes, material handling, hoists, pumps, compressors and conveyors. 

Sprint PLX digital 2Q/4Q DC drives

The Sprint PLX series is a digital DC drive system providing 5kW – 980kW output power. Available in 2Q (single direction) and 4Q (fully regenerative) variants, the range comprises five compact chassis sizes with models rated from 12A to 2250A output current. The PLX boasts an extremely versatile operating input voltage range of 12V – 500VAC as standard. Options are available for 600V and 690VAC input.

Sprint SL Series 2Q / 4Q DC drives

The Sprint SL series of analogue 2Q / 4Q DC drives delivers output current up to 330A to control motors up to 145kW. These economical, compact and reliable DC motor controls are ideal for OEMs. The SL/X range provides 2Q / 4Q operation across 11 models from 5kW – 145kW output power. The SLE Series is a single direction 2Q DC Drive with 4 models from 14kW – 44kW output power.

Sprint XLV series 4Q motor control

The Sprint XLV Series provides 4Q motor control for low voltage DC motor applications. With 12V – 48VDC input, it provides 2  – 12 Amps output. Designed for servo-type applications requiring precise speed control, it can be controlled in speed or torque (current) control modes. Designed in a DIN-rail style package, the Drive allows for bi or unipolar 0 – 10V speed / current reference.

Sprint 340/680/1220

The Sprint 340/680/1220 range offers non-isolated and isolated DC drives up to 12.2A output current, suitable for DC motors up to 1.8kW (2.0Hp) output power. They are available with a wide range of input voltage options, from the standard 110 – 240VAC to 30V – 60VAC, that can provide output voltage down to 24VDC. The 340/680/1220 Series is ideal for controlling small brushed or permanent magnet DC motors.

Sprint enclosed DC drives

A wide range of low-cost, enclosed DC drives, suitable to control DC motors up to 1.8kW. They provide a more advanced 1Q control option for motors rated up to 3.7/4/8/12 Amps output current (0.37 up to 1.8kW motor power). The 370E, 400E, 800E, 1200E, 400ER, 800ER, 1200ER DC drive enclosures are available with 110-240VAC input as standard.

Open chassis-mount DC drives

A wide range of low-cost, enclosed DC drives, suitable to control DC motors up to 1.8kW. They provide a more advanced 1Q control option for motors rated up to 3.7/4/8/12 Amps output current (0.37 up to 1.8kW motor power). The 370E, 400E, 800E, 1200E, 400ER, 800ER, 1200ER DC drive enclosures are available with 110-240VAC input as standard.

Generis AC regeneration drive

The Generis is the next generation of AC drive technology, delivering cost effective and highly reliable AC motor control combined with energy regeneration and low input current harmonics. It uses a unique patented switching technology that does not require a DC link, giving full four quadrant control as standard, as well as unity power factor and minimal input current distortion. Four quadrant control removes the need for active front end drives or braking resistors, simplifying control of AC motors.
