1.1  The MICROMASTER 420 
The MICROMASTER 420s are a range of frequency inverters for controlling the 
speed of three phase AC motors. The various models available range from the 
120 W single-phase input to the 11 kW three-phase input. 
The inverters are microprocessor-controlled and use state-of-the-art Insulated Gate 
BipoIar Transistor (IGBT) technology. This makes them reliable and versatile. A 
special pulse-width modulation method with selectable Pulse frequency permits 
quiet motor operation. Comprehensive protective functions provide excellent 
inverter and motor protection. 
The MICROMASTER 420 with its default factory settings, is ideal for a large range 
of simple motor control applications.  The MICROMASTER 420 can also be used 
for more advanced motor control applications via its comprehensive parameter 
lists. 
The MICROMASTER 420 can be used in both 'stand-alone' applications as well as 
being integrated into 'Automation Systems'.
