Replacing discontinued small DC Drives

Some suppliers have made the decision to review their product lines and have discontinued small DC Drives in their ranges. Pre-pandemic, we were aware that a certain manufacturer took the decision to discontinue their larger DC Drives. Recently we have seen a surge of enquiries seeking available alternatives for smaller DC drives due to a further manufacturer stopping production.

Small analogue DC drives are still widely installed in numerous applications throughout the globe. Should an application be upgraded or a drive needing replacing our customers are reporting that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a manufacturer who builds to order and holds stock.

They tell us that this has been exacerbated recently by a major drives manufacturer rationalising their range and ceasing production of DC motor controllers below a certain rating. Sprint Electric DC drives are available as low as 0.35HP / 0.25KW / 3.4A.

As well as Parker (also badged as SSD & Eurotherm Drives) discontinuing their small drives, Control Techniques had already taken the decision to stop manufacturing analogue drives some years ago.
