CH310E-T3-5R5B Variable Frequency Drive CH310E | 5.5кВт 3ф/380, elevator

Veichi CH310E-T3-5R5B — 5.5 kW elevator drive

The CH310E-T3-5R5B is a 5.5 kW elevator drive with a 13 A output current and a 3×380–480 V supply. It is the step up from the 4 kW model: the slightly larger current headroom lets it comfortably serve light passenger elevators with a somewhat bigger car or a higher travel speed.

Which elevators it suits

The model fits low-rise residential buildings, small hotels and public premises where the elevator carries a few passengers on a moderate duty cycle. Support for both geared asynchronous (IM) and gearless synchronous (PMSM) motors makes the 5R5B a versatile choice for both new installation and replacing an old control station.

Ride comfort and safety

Four independent acceleration and deceleration S-curves together with the ASR PI speed regulator produce a smooth travel profile with no jolts at phase transitions. The anti-rollback start holds the car at take-off, including for PMSM drives without a weighing sensor. The braking module is built in, with the external resistor chosen to match the actual load. Phase-loss detection under 200 ms, mechanical brake control, post-fault start lockout and a 220 V UPS evacuation mode are all active.

Dimensions

The enclosure (W×H×D) is 116×320×175 mm. This frame size is shared across the 5.5–11 kW models, which simplifies control-cabinet design.

Veichi CH310E Frequency Inverter for Elevators

The Veichi CH310E is a dedicated elevator drive built on the AC310 platform, but reworked specifically for controlling passenger and freight elevator cars. The series spans 4 to 37 kW (3×380–480 V supply) and covers projects of every scale — from low-rise buildings to high-rise freight shafts.

What sets an elevator inverter apart from an ordinary one is ride comfort. A passenger should feel neither a jolt at start nor a drop when the car settles at a floor. CH310E handles this in hardware and software alike: four independent S-curves for acceleration and deceleration let you tune each phase of travel separately, while an optimized speed regulator (ASR PI) holds the set speed steady under changing load.

Anti-rollback start

The trickiest moment in elevator operation is moving off — the brake has just released and the car may drift under the weight of its load. CH310E provides an anti-rollback start for gearless synchronous PMSM drives even without a car load-weighing sensor. The drive holds torque at the zero point on its own, so the start stays smooth whether the car is empty or fully loaded.

Compatible with both elevator drive types

CH310E controls two schemes equally well:

• geared asynchronous motors (IM) — classic geared traction machines, common when refurbishing older shafts;
• gearless synchronous motors (PMSM) — modern direct-drive elevator traction machines with high efficiency.

A single drive model covers both new construction and the modernization of existing elevators.

Safety and continuity

A braking module is built into every model without exception — for the 4 kW unit a 130–170 Ohm resistor rated from 1100 W is used. The drive detects phase loss in under 200 ms, manages the mechanical brake (safety brake control) and locks out restart after a fault (fault trip lock). A separate evacuation mode is included: when mains power fails, the drive runs from a 220 V UPS source, automatically detects the lighter load side and brings the car to the nearest floor to let passengers out.
