Overview

The Dart Controls 15DVP is a general-purpose, economical variable speed control designed for small DC and universal motor applications. This NEMA 1 rated panel mount drive offers dual input voltage compatibility, accepting either 12/24 VAC or 120/240 VAC, with a DC output current rating of 2 Amps. Its compact design and quick connect terminal pins facilitate straightforward installation. The 15DVP features adjustable trimpot settings, allowing for precise control over motor speed. As part of the versatile 15 Series, it is an ideal choice for OEMs and integrators working with fractional horsepower motors. Typical applications include conveyors, material handling systems, food processing equipment, dryers, and ovens where reliable speed regulation is essential. The updated circuit design utilizes SMT technology to maximize power density in a small package without compromising speed range or regulation. This model is specifically the NEMA 1 enclosed version, providing basic protection for indoor use. For applications requiring higher environmental protection, the 15DVE NEMA 4/12 enclosed model is also available. The 15 Series offers two chassis styles and both NEMA 1 and NEMA 4 enclosed models, making it a flexible solution for various fractional HP motor control needs.
