The price of an AC variable speed drive (inverter) is related directly to its rated power output and duty cycle. It stands to reason that the lighter the duty cycle the less stress there is on the inverter. By publishing a wider range of duty cycles for its new FR-A800, Mitsubishi Electric […]

ABB’s winch control program enables the ABB ACS800 variable frequency drive range to be used in different winching control configurations found on board ships, offshore oil or gas platforms and in harbours. Dedicated drives for marine and offshore applications ABB variable frequency drives are certified for marine applications, enabling stepless speed and torque […]
The Altivar 212 is a variable speed drive for three phase asynchronous motors from 0.75 kW to 75 kW. It is specifically intended for the most commonly encountered fluid management applications in buildings (HVAC): heating, ventilation, air conditioning and pumping. Schneider Electric has specifically engineered the drive for HVAC duty, energy savings of up to 70% can […]
Many plant owners are confused how variable speed drives (inverters) save them money: after all if they were that good everyone would use them, wouldn’t they? A frequently asked question is “What’s the difference between using inverter drives and my ventilation fans being thermostatically controlled?” According to estimates, motors consume 70% of the energy […]
