Disadvantages
• Special high slip motor
• Re-torqueing system required
• Wear and tear on the system is high
• Higher wear on the brake system
• Overdesign of the gearbox/pinion due to high starting torque.
• Limited number of jacking speeds
• Extra electrical losses due to use of high slip electric motors
• If one braking resistor fails the lift boat may not be able to be lowered
Disadvantages
• System is slightly more complex with AFE VFD technology
• If one braking resistor fails the lift boat may not be able to be lowered
• If any component of the AFE VFD fails, the lift boat cannot be raised or
completely lowered
Disadvantages
• System is slightly more complex with AFE VFD technology
• If one braking resistor fails the lift boat may not be able to be lowered
• If the Active Front End module or the Active Line Module fails the lift boat
cannot be raised or completely lowered
Advantages
• Diode Front End Variable frequency drive (VFD) with harmonic cancelling
transformers
• Works at 480VAC, 600VAC or 690VAC
• Continuously variable frequency/speed control from 0 to 100%
• One MCC bucket per gearbox motor
• No need for Re-torqueing
• Limits wear and tear on the system because of smooth acceleration and deceleration
• Braking resistors can be sized to handle a failure and still lower the lift boat
• Diode front end modules can be sized to handle a failure and still raise and lower the
lift boat
Disadvantages
• System is more complex with a common DC bus
• If a motor module fails, in the VFD, the lift boat cannot raised or
completely lowered
• Transformers are required

• Limits wear and tear on the system because of smooth acceleration and deceleration
• Braking resistors can be sized to handle a failure and still lower the lift boat
• Diode front end modules can be sized to handle a failure and still operate the lift boat
• A spare motor module is included to handle a failure of one of the motor modules and
still operate the lift boat
Disadvantages
• System is more complex with a common DC bus and a spare motor module
• Transformers are required
• Limits wear and tear on the system because of smooth acceleration and deceleration
