The project utilized the PRO-Drive 500 frequency converter, which allows for long cable runs. In its basic configuration, the device supports the Modbus TCP protocol. The AC drive can control motors with a power range from 1.5 to 630 kW at a voltage of 400 V. The modular design allows for the assembly of drive systems with a common power supply unit (AC-DC converter) and several inverters (DC-AC converters) connected on the same DC bus.

Updated GV2P (0.1-32 A) motor starter circuit breakers with a thermomagnetic trip unit were also installed. They are designed for switching AC circuits with a voltage of up to 690 V and a frequency of 50/60 Hz, controlling and protecting three-phase asynchronous motors from overload, phase loss, and short circuit. For the same purposes, updated APD-32 and APD-80 motor starter circuit breakers were added to the solution.

KTE contactors and compact KME contactors close the circuit and supply power to the motor when a command is given, ensuring start-up and shutdown without a preliminary stop in the network. AV Power molded case circuit breakers protect power circuits and motors from overloads and short circuits.
