by Brianna Crandall — March 2, 2015—Magnetek, Inc., designer and manufacturer of digital power and motion control systems, recently announced the availability of its Quattro AC Cube elevator drive. This all-in-one regenerative drive includes the functionality of a full-size Quattro AC, minus the enclosure, saving dollars and space.

Whether used in new construction or a modernization project, the Quattro AC Cube is said to provide comparable energy savings, reliability, and performance to Magnetek’s standard unit but in one-third the space.

The Quattro AC Cube is a fully integrated, clean power drive that keeps harmonics low, meeting stringent building power requirements, says Magnetek. All drive and regeneration-related power control components, including line and motor contactors, harmonic filters, and fusing are integrated into this space-saving package.

This integration eliminates the need for multiple external modules and reduces costs for panel mounting and component wiring, explains the company. Quattro AC Cube also includes a voltage boost feature that supplies additional voltage for operation, reducing the impact of utility voltage sags or the need for an external transformer.

“Quattro AC Cube is a great addition to Magnetek’s industry-leading Quattro family of products, which have saved customers energy and money in over 2,200 installations worldwide,” said Ed Butte, director of Magnetek’s elevator business. “With its proven energy savings, superior ride quality, and lower installation costs, the Quattro Cube is the ideal green solution for new elevator drive installations and modernization projects.”
