Lead the way in sustainability with Eaton’s SC9000 active front end (AFE) variable frequency drive. Built on proven industry-leading inverter technology to optimize efficiency and reliability, the AFE drive offers bi-directional power flow allowing you to recapture energy when braking and provides power-factor correction, further reducing the costs of your electric grid. The SC9000 AFE is available stand-alone or can be seemlessly integrated into a full lineup of switchgear and controls for maximum footprint and cost savings.
