THE MAIN BENEFITS OF ADJUSTING MOTOR SPEED USING A VFD:
- Energy Savings: By optimizing motor speed, we can save energy and improve system efficiency.
- Hybridization Applications: VFDs help convert power in hybrid systems.
- Process Requirements: Matching the speed of the drive to process requirements ensures optimal performance.
- Torque and Power Matching: VFDs allow us to match the torque or power of a drive to process needs.
- Improved Working Environment: VFDs reduce noise levels from fans and pumps, enhancing the workplace.
- Extended Machine Lifetime: By reducing mechanical stress, VFDs can extend the lifespan of machines.
- Peak Consumption Management: VFDs help shave peak consumption to avoid high-demand prices and reduce motor size requirements.
VFDs are commonly used for controlling fans, pumps, and compressors, accounting for 75% of all drives globally. Unlike less sophisticated motor controllers like soft starters and across-the-line contactors, VFDs integrate networking and diagnostic capabilities, making them versatile and efficient.
