Magnetek® Innovative Energy Efficient Quattro 3® AC Elevator Drives are Now Available to Order

Magnetek®, a Columbus McKinnon brand, introduces its latest generation of technologically advanced elevator solutions—the Quattro® 3 AC Elevator Drives—now available for order. Trusted across the globe for over 40 years, Magnetek-brand elevators are the green solution for today’s tallest buildings, including the new Quattro AC Enclosed and AC Cube drives. Uniquely qualified to enhance your buildings, Quattro 3 offers superior performance, reliability, and energy savings, all of which reduce costs and downtime.

Enhancements to Drive Technology & User-Friendly Diagnostic Capabilities

Mag Explorer, a free PC-based software, simplifies setup and maintenance of Quattro 3 AC drives. With advanced diagnostics, you’ll have quick access to data trending, automatic run time, and fault monitoring. If a fault does occur, diagnosis and corrective actions allow equipment to recover faster and reduce downtime. Enhanced memory allows for extended storage, editing, and maintenance of parameter files.

Energy Savings

Quattro AC drives can provide more than 42% energy savings over non-regenerative AC drives used in gearless applications. Plus, Quattro 3 AC drives can help buildings qualify for LEED, BREEAM®, and other energy efficiency credits. You can also see the savings a regenerative drive can deliver with our online Energy Savings Calculator. This tool provides you with a custom report on energy savings for the elevators in your building by estimating the current electrical consumption compared to other motor and drive combinations.

Uninterrupted Operation & Reliability

The Magnetek brand has been at the forefront of the elevator drives industry since the 1980s with a proven track record of technical expertise and superior customer service. Our Quattro 3 AC drives maintain consistent performance with a built-in voltage boost function that supplies extra voltage during acceleration, ensuring full motor torque. If the power line “sags”, Quattro can overcome voltage fluctuations, preventing motor issues and ensuring uninterrupted elevator operation.

Low Installation Costs with Clean Harmonics

The updated design of Quattro 3 AC results in low harmonic output, meaning reduced heating and better utilization of existing distribution line equipment, also known as Clean Harmonics. Clean harmonics and a high-power factor reduce costs since there is no need to upgrade the building’s utility feeder supply. Installation is simplified because Quattro 3 is an integrated, fully regenerative drive that meets IEEE-519 harmonic standards, so there is no need to add on a separate regenerative drive package.
