To coordinate more than one aspect of a process, variable-speed drives must be able to communicate with many devices. To illustrate, on a bottle labeling system, the drive must be able to precisely ...

For many retrofit projects, the use of a VFD seems like a “no brainer.” Drives are now cheaper and more reliable than ever, and the benefits of efficient control of motors can’t be beat. Still, there ...

A1000 variable speed drive has a calculated design life twice as long as previous generations. Compatibility with interior and surface permanent magnet motors produces up to 200 percent torque with or ...

Utility power plant generators are usually designed for a power factor (PF) of .8 to .9. If demand-side PF is lower than the designed PF, the generator current will rise above the equipment's rated ...

Over 50% of Earth’s total electricity consumption is used for operating motors and motor systems. HVAC contractors and technicians encounter motors in a variety of different applications, and aspects ...

Hydrostatic drives are widely recognized as an excellent means of power transmission when variable output speed is required. Typically outperforming mechanical and electrical variable-speed drives and ...
