Around 80 per cent of maximal torque at 90 per cent speed is an efficient duty point for a motor and drive system. However, it is often possible to find a more efficient duty point by exploring a wider range of options. According to ABB, this offers opportunities for a designer tasked with improving the motor […]
In a new whitepaper, ABB reveals the potential for significant energy efficiency improvements in industry and infrastructure enabled by the latest high efficiency drives and motor systems. They call on governments and industry to speed up the adoption of the technology to help combat climate change. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), industry accounts […]
An interesting article from the Schneider Electric blog considers how integrating motor control, automation, and energy systems reduce cost and improve efficiency. In most industrial operations, electric motors play a critical role in driving conveyors, pumps, compressors, agitators, fans, and essential equipment. In large production plants, the management and monitoring of motors are critical for […]
The launch of the TeSys D Green is a significant advance for Schneider Electric. The current TeSys D contactors and overloads are the largest selling line of contactors in the world. TeSys D Green is a replacement for the TeSys D series contactors up to 80A ( 37 kW 400V AC3) and offers significant performance […]
For organisations seeking ways to reduce energy consumption it is important to evaluate the performance of both their existing systems and products. Evaluating new products also forms an important part of this activity. If you’re not going forwards, you’re going backwards, and using VSDs that offer triple duty ratings is a good starting point […]
