MPA Currents

Values for peak and continous current, for all MPA drives, are given in units of Amps Peak-of-Sine (Apk). To convert these values to Amps-rms, divide Apk by 1.414 (or multiply by 0.707).

Generally, the amount of current an MPA drive produces is given by its part number. For example, the MPA-25 produces 25 A-pk of continuous current, and 50 A-pk of peak current. Peak current can be sustained for up to 1 second.

However, the MPA-06 and MPA-09 produce slighly more current than their part numbers indicate.



	 Model   I(cont) I(peak)

	MPA-06   7 A-pk  14 A-pk

	MPA-09  10 A-pk  20 A-pk
