300% of the RMS rating occur. 4. POWERTEC provides sub-cycle time, fast clearing fuses in the three AC input legs to the drive. An input circuit breaker may or may not be provided, depending on the options selected at the time of purchase. If a breaker is not purchased with the drive, the user must supply a means of power disconnection in order to meet the requirements of the National Electric Code.

Regenerative power capability gives the motor and control the ability to change from higher speeds to lower speeds much more quickly than with non-regenerative types of controls, resulting in more rapid stops and quick reversals of loads. Page 1-4 Model 2000C/3000C Instruction Manual...
