HC1000W

Water-Cooled Medium-Voltage AC Drive

Designed specifically for ultra-high-power applications, the HC1000W combines Hiconics’ medium voltage drive technology with a fully integrated water-cooling system to deliver exceptional performance in demanding environments. Capable of driving loads from 5MW to 60MW, the HC1000W offers significantly higher cooling efficiency than conventional air-cooled systems while reducing heat dissipation into the electrical room. Its sealed construction, redundant design and long-life components make it particularly well suited to mining, power generation, metallurgy and other harsh industrial environments.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Designed for ultra-high-power applications from 5MW to 60MW.
  • High-efficiency closed-loop water cooling minimizes cabinet temperatures.
  • Approximately 100 times greater heat exchange efficiency than conventional air cooling.
  • Reduced HVAC requirements through minimal heat rejection into electrical rooms.
  • Fully enclosed transformer cabinet for harsh environments.
  • Built for high dust, corrosive and high-altitude installations.
  • Long-life components with redundancy and fault tolerance improve system reliability.

HC2000

Four-Quadrant Medium-Voltage AC Drive

The HC2000 is Hiconics’ premium four-quadrant regenerative medium voltage AC drive, engineered for applications requiring precise torque control, regenerative braking and bidirectional power flow. Built on a new four-quadrant platform with synchronous rectification technology, it provides full regenerative capability while reducing cabinet size by nearly 50% compared to previous generations. Advanced motor control algorithms, including Torque Predictive Control (TPC) and Feedforward Compensation (FFC), make the HC2000 particularly suitable for hoists, mine winders, test stands and other high-performance applications where accurate low-speed control and energy recovery are essential.

Key Features & Benefits

  • True four-quadrant operation with full regenerative capability.
  • Returns braking energy back to the electrical network for improved energy efficiency.
  • Nearly 50% smaller than previous-generation designs.
  • Supports induction, permanent magnet and electrically excited synchronous motors.
  • Torque Predictive Control (TPC) delivers accurate zero-speed holding for hoisting applications.
  • Automatic motor parameter identification for faster commissioning.
  • Closed-loop speed and current control provides fast dynamic response with minimal overshoot.
