Quickly estimating the energy savings available by installing variable speed drives to motors is simple as their power consumption is governed by the cube law (see earlier article). In the example given, a 10% speed reduction saves 27% of the running cost. Energy savings calculators are also available for more complex applications, but flow applications are particularly suited to this type of […]
Torque is the measure of the turning force of an object about an axis. When applying a variable speed drive to a motor application it is critical to consider the torque requirement of the load. Variable speed drives manufacturers generally assign their drives into one of three categories according to their torque and power […]
