Frequency converters control the applications directly through the AC motor, which reduces the energy consumption by up to 50% or more, depending on the application. VLT drives provide full control and with 98 % energy efficiency are the most efficient drives on the market.
Energy savings maximised
Controlling the speed of an electric motor can often save 50% or more energy. VLT frequency drives have an energy efficiency of 98%. That means that less than 2% of the energy supplied to your electric drive system is lost, reducing your energy losses and the energy costs to an absolute minimum. However, the impact that VLT drives have on your energy bill is bigger than that
- More than 50% energy can be saved, depending on the application
- Less than 2% energy is lost in the drive
- Reducing heat dissipation (energy losses) means reducing the need for forced ventilation, thus saving even more energy
- No hidden energy consumption: RFI-filters and DC-coils are build-in in the VL drives and included in the 98% efficiency
- Special and often patented functions like sleep mode, automatic energy optimisation, flow compensation and others help drop your energy bill even further.
Less heat, more advantages
Less energy losses and less heat dissipation also means that VLT drives can be mounted close together in small cabinets, reducing costly cabinet space. Less heat also means a longer lifetime for the electronics, improving reliability and the overall life time of your VLT drive.
