      Should I select a drive that is over-sized for my motor rating?

      No. Unlike many of our competitors, PE® drives are built so that over-sizing is not necessary. Our drives are built from the ground-up with the demanding requirements of electric overhead cranes and material handling in mind. As long as you select a drive that meets (or slightly exceeds) your motor HP and FLA requirements, our drives are built to handle the size motors specified.
