The Reliance Electric Standardfor Standard Drive Solutions 1ST
Reliance Electric is giving new meaning to the word
“standard,” with highly functional pre-packaged products
that are simple to install and affordable to operate
in an expanding range of horsepower capabilities.
• Machine-mounted drives provide extended
environmental protection in the most rugged industrial
applications.
• Cabinet-mounted drives, with the smallest possible
footprint, integrate easily into existing applications.
• Truly integrated drive/motor products extend
variable-speed performance to a wider
range of AC and DC applications.
Reliance AC drives are designed to meet industrial
demands for space reduction and cost efficiency while
providing speed and directional control, overload
protection, soft-start capabilities, and fault diagnostics.
Reliance DC drives are designed for new machinery

drive/motor products, the Reliance
VSM™ family, combines a dependable
inverter-duty motor with a digital pulse-width-modulated
inverter in an integral, compact package that reduces panel
space requirements, decreases installation and set-up time,
and reduces wiring and material costs. In addition to
achieving lower total operating costs, this innovatively
packaged product saves energy and reduces component
wear by extending variable-speed performance to a wider
range of industrial fan, blower, pump, and light-duty
conveyor applications.
