An independent guide is to assist the users with selecting the best motor and control technology for a given application has been produced by UK Trade Association GAMBICA. It addresses the differences in motor efficiency ratings; different control methods, and the decision process for fixed or variable speed control. The International Electrotechnical Commission […]
A Schneider Electric UK Altivar 212 HVAC drive solution is uniquely positioned to lower costs and operate more efficiently to provide additional installed cost savings compared to typical AC drives on centrifugal pump and fan applications. The technology designed into the Altivar 212 provides equivalent harmonic mitigation without the use of line reactors, swinging chokes, or DC […]
Schneider Electric UK has announced that from September 2013 two high power versions of the Altivar 312 variable speed drive (11 kW and 15 kW, 3-phase, 400V) will come to the end of their commercial life. The two models will be directly substituted by equivalent Altivar 32 models of the same rating. Altivar […]
Schneider Electric has designed the Altivar 212 variable frequency drive (VFD), to minimise the energy losses during power conversion and to accurately control motor speeds. Altivar 212 covers motor powers between 0.75 kW and 75 kW for HVAC applications. By controlling centrifugal pump and fan applications with variable speed drives, users can eliminate the need for […]
The move towards intelligent buildings has driven changes in inverter variable speed drives in terms of ease of use and improved building control (BMS) integration, which led Schneider Electric to introduce the Altivar 212. Due to the ATV 212’s eco-energy based design, energy savings of up to 70% can be achieved compared to […]
