LS Electric Controls, Drives, & Power Distribution
Cordyne has manufactured more than 3,000 variable frequency drive assemblies built around LS Electric components, and those units are in service today across industrial and energy operations. That number reflects a working manufacturing relationship rather than a catalog listing. Our engineering staff specifies LS Electric drives and controls, packages them into enclosures we fabricate in-house at our Houston facility, wires and tests every assembly, and supports the equipment after it ships.
For engineers and project managers sourcing components for a new build or a retrofit, the distinction matters. You can buy loose components and handle integration in the field, or you can source through a UL-certified panel shop that builds the finished assembly to your drawings.
The LS Electric Product Lines Cordyne Supplies and Integrates
Variable Frequency Drives
The LS Electric low-voltage drive series spans micro drives through high-horsepower units:
- The M100 and G100 cover compact machine control and general-purpose duty.
- The S100 adds sensorless vector control, redundant safe torque-off, permanent-magnet motor capability, and an IP66/NEMA 4X option for washdown and contaminant-heavy environments.
- The H100 is optimized for fan and pump duty in HVAC and water treatment.
- The iS7 handles high-performance applications requiring precise torque control.
- The SP100 provides an integrated bypass package for critical fan and pump systems.
Cordyne packages any of these into custom enclosures, including NEMA 7 explosion-proof configurations for Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 areas.
Medium Voltage Load Interrupting Switches (LIS) Up to 38kV
Metal-enclosed load interrupter switchgear provides transformer isolation and short-circuit protection for primary and secondary distribution. Configurations are available as single-switch units or as bussed lineups feeding multiple loads through separate feeder switches, with quick-make, quick-break mechanisms for full-load current interruption and fused short-circuit protection.
Medium Voltage Switchgear Up to 38kV
Metal-clad switchgear with vacuum circuit breakers for medium voltage distribution and protection, engineered to ANSI/IEEE C37 requirements. Applications include primary distribution at plants, substation feeders, and large motor protection, where arc energy and fault current require a metal-clad assembly.
UL 891 Switchboards
The Susol UL 891 switchboard solution is certified to UL 67 and UL 891 for bus straps and interiors, using UL 489 molded-case circuit breakers. Multiple interior types and bus strap ratings give specifying engineers flexibility during panel development. Cordyne assembles switchboards to project one-line drawings, with metering, breaker coordination, and enclosure ratings matched to the installation.
Low Voltage Motor Control
Full voltage and reduced voltage starters, soft starters, and electronic motor protection relays for across-the-line and controlled-start applications. Cordyne builds these into UL 508A control panels, motor control centers, and combination starter assemblies sized to the connected load.
Contactors, Overloads, Manual Motor Starters, and Panel Components
Metasol MC contactors and MT thermal overload relays covering 9A through 800A, MMS manual motor starters with overload and instantaneous short circuit protection, miniature and molded case circuit breakers, and surge protective devices.
These are the components that populate the control panels we build every day.

Where Engineers Specify LS Electric Through Cordyne
LS Electric components appear throughout our project work, though the reason for specifying them shifts by industry. The applications below account for most of the assemblies we build:
- Industrial Manufacturing: Conveyor drives, process pumps, and machine control panels where drive uptime governs line output.
- Oil and Gas: Drilling systems, injection and transfer pumps, and compressor packages, frequently in classified areas requiring explosion-proof enclosure packaging.
- Petrochemical and Refining: Process control panels, motor control assemblies, and medium voltage distribution serving continuous-duty operations.
- Marine and Offshore: Vessel and platform control systems built to withstand vibration, humidity, and salt exposure.
What Cordyne Adds as an LS Electric Distributor
Component availability is only part of a project. Cordyne engineers the assembly around the component. We fabricate enclosures in-house, which means the drive, starter, or switchboard interior is designed against the enclosure that houses it rather than fitted to a stock box after the fact.
We produce NEMA 1, 3R, 4X, 7, 9, and 12-rated enclosures, and we coordinate ratings across the motor, drive, and disconnect so that every device in the circuit carries the correct classification. Our staff wires, labels, and functionally tests each assembly before it ships, and we provide submittal drawings and test documentation for project approval.
For retrofit work, we cross-reference existing equipment against current LS Electric part numbers and configure replacements to match the footprint and control interface where possible.
Certifications and Compliance
Cordyne is a UL 508A, 698A, and 1203-certified panel shop and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification.
Assemblies built with LS Electric components are manufactured in compliance with applicable UL, CSA, and NEC standards, and our quality assurance process supports the documentation and traceability that regulated projects require.
Cordyne Motor Starter Selector
To help find the motor starter with your exact requirements, we have created a Motor Starter Selector Tool in which you are able to input your requirements and be matched with the appropriate motor starter.
Frequently Asked Questions About LS Electric Controls
Yes. LS Electric maintains UL and cUL listings across its drive, circuit protection, and switchgear lines, and LS Electric America operates as the North American subsidiary supporting those products. Confirm the listing for your specific catalog number during specification, and our team can provide the applicable certification documentation with your quote.
The low-voltage drive series supports common industrial fieldbus and network options, including Modbus RTU as standard on most models, with additional protocol cards available depending on the series. Specify your plant network requirements at the quote stage so the correct option card is included in the build.
We carry inventory on commonly specified LS Electric components and order project-specific items as needed. Lead times vary by line and configuration. Contact our team with your bill of materials and required delivery date, and we will confirm availability against your schedule.
