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 ...

The KF is Copeland’s variable-speed scroll compressor for the 1.5- to 5-ton North American residential market, designed for ...

Variable speed drives (VSDs), sometimes also known as variable frequency drives, are electronic devices used to regulate the speed of an ac induction motor. Electric motors consume approximately 25% ...

Imagine an easy-to-install industrial technology that reduces energy consumption, eliminates mechanical vibrations and electronic harmonics, relaxes alignment tolerances and cuts maintenance needs.

It is interesting to look at figures from the Energy Information Administration about where energy gets consumed in our economy. These figures reveal that industrial uses account for 31% of all energy ...

ABB continues to increase the efficiency of its motors with the addition of a new motor variant to its ABB Baldor-Reliance SP4 motor line. These motors feature integrated shaft grounding technology ...

Variable speed drive (VSD) compressors are widely regarded as a more energy-efficient alternative to fixed-speed machines in applications with fluctuating demand. As industry looks for ways to cut ...

The GA800 variable speed drives handle applications ranging from simple fans and pumps to high-performance test dynamometers requiring precise regulation. They feature highly flexible network ...
