QUANTUM MP
PACKAGED MENTOR MP
DC DRIVE SYSTEM

The packaged Mentor MP drive

The Quantum MP is a packaged Mentor MP that integrates the
control functionality of the Mentor MP with a design that
incorporates a DC loop contactor, high-speed input fuses, 120 Vac
control logic and DC output fuses (on all regenerative models). A
dynamic braking contactor is also included in drives up to and
including 350 A models. The Quantum MP saves engineering time
and panel space.

Existing Mentor II and Quantum III customers can easily migrate to

the new MP platform. All Mentor MP power terminal locations and
mounting points are the same as those of the Mentor II. Similarly,
all Quantum MP control terminals are the same format as the
Quantum III. Both drives include complimentary software tools to
assist in transferring drive parameters and programs from older
products to new ones.

Mentor II has had its day and the simplest way to secure plant availability
is to level up with Mentor MP.

communication networks from the design stage
• All power terminal locations and mounting points have
• Mentor MP brings performance and possibilities to been retained
your application with minimum migration costs
• At 900 A, Mentor MP has a much smaller frame size than
Mentor II with smaller cable requirements. This allows
Motor field control for high power density paralleled configurations without
custom-made bus bars.
• Built in field controller as standard in every Mentor MP

ii. Reduces the need for external components transfer of drive parameters and programs.
We recommend an external motor field controller when: Note:

• The required field current is greater than that offered The control section of Mentor MP frame 2C and 2D is 90 mm deeper than
Mentor II.
by the standard drive, up to 25 A. For example, older
motors with low field voltages If a depth extension is not possible, then for other solutions, please contact
your Control Techniques supplier.
• The field needs to be forced down more quickly than a
standard half controlled field bridge can manage
• Applications can be implemented with simple field
current reversal, without armature reversal, if machine
dynamics can still be met
