Successful additions to your process and bottom line
ABB VSDs sit between the electrical supply and an electric motor. They control the flow of power, enabling precise adjustment of the motor’s speed and torque. Drives can adjust a motor’s speed based on a range of parameters, ensuring that it only ever runs at the speed required by the task in hand.
Without a drive, a motor runs continuously at full speed and its output is controlled by mechanical methods such as throttling. This wastes power. An ABB VSD, in comparison, saves electricity in any application where the motor does not need to be running at full speed. Even minor adjustments to the speed can result in significant savings – for example, using a drive to slow a fan or pump by just 20 percent cuts its energy use by half.
Please contact us if you recognise these applications in your business and we will be happy to discuss how we can help you replicate their success.
