How to ensure your variable speed drives running at maximum efficiency? Variable speed inverter drives (VSDs) offer an important energy saving technology that can save enough electrical energy to give a payback period of less than eighteen months, but only when set to run at their maximum efficiency. So, are end-users getting the most out […]
The modernisation of hardware and software in a large scale water supply system has improved the overall operational effectiveness of the entire operation and delivered a 51% reduction in power consumption. It has also enabled the supplier to reduce outlet pressure, leading to an 8% fall in emergency call-outs. In 2015, Samara Municipal Systems […]
FR-F800 VSD for pumps requiring more safety, security and more up-time False alarms and service visits due to the unnecessary shut-down of pumps and fans are unacceptable as industry strives for greater productivity through operational efficiency and plant availability. The on-board intelligence in Mitsubishi Electric’s FR-F800 inverter drive virtually eliminates nuisance tripping. […]
Guided operator solutions remove assembly errors for manufacturer. Assembly cells making several different products in one work-space have a high potential for operator error. Mitsubishi Electric’s Pick-to-Light guided operator system has removed errors by controlling the picking sequence using lights, doors, operator terminals and touch sensors. A test cell recorded a huge […]
Energy saving drives: savings are not only from motor speed control It is generally accepted that installing AC variable speed drives in fan, pump and compressor installations offers significant energy saving, reducing cost and lowering CO2 emissions. However, all variable speed drives are not equal: some VSDs include advanced software that provides further savings, […]
