Reducing the energy cost of indoor commercial irrigation. A farm irrigation systems was a good example of how investing in new systems improves performance and saves money not only in large industrial operations but also in smaller installations. Rising electricity cost As an example, Riecor, a South African customer in the farming industry […]
Rather than a burden, a white paper from Schneider Electric looks at how the embedded technology used to meet changing machine building regulations and safety compliance has improved productivity. Safety was considered an additional cost to bear in an increasingly competitive market. Something OEMs and operators had to address, but so reactively. They would implement […]
ATV900 variable speed drives replace Altivar ATV71 from Schneider Electric The ATV900 is Schneider Electric’s new series of high performance variable speed drives (VSDs). It replaces the Altivar ATV71 for complex machines and offers a range models to suit most applications and environments. The ATV900 is part of Schneider’s Process Drives range. […]
Successive generations of variable-speed drives (VSDs) bring enormous benefits to buildings, whether commercial, residential or industrial. Yet many of these benefits are not widely recognised. As a result, building operators could be missing out on significant cost and time savings available to them. When specifying drives, consultants are urged to review their specification requirements and […]
When considering the energy saving benefits of using variable speed drives (VSDs) in motors applications, we quickly become involved in speed reduction percentages and payback periods. All relevant, but sometimes hiding the true costs of running electric motors in commercial and industrial applications. Motors are good at moving fluids (mainly air and water) around, […]
