Scalable in performance and functionality features, the drives can be integrated into a wide range of automation environments with simple commissioning and open interfaces. Speed-controlled induction motors in variable speed pump drives, for example, can reduce electricity consumption by up to 80% in comparison to fixed-displacement drive applications.
The intelligent frequency converters control speed as demanded, thus significantly reducing the energy consumption of pumps, compressors and fans. The frequency converters commonly known as variable frequency drives (VFD), AC drives or variable speed drives (VSD) can be integrated into many types of applications and machines as compact units for speed and torque control.
