An inverter drive that does not just save energy, but injects any surplus safely into the mains or shares it with other connected drives to reduce energy costs. In operation inverter drives maintain continuous control of the connected motor. To achieve this they both drive a motor that is moving a load, and shed […]
Energy management is not a new idea, but often it’s not given the priority it needs or deserves. One significant reason is that it can be very difficult to understand when and where it’s being used. Before you can save it, you first need to understand how it is being used. We are told that […]

If you then consider life-cycle energy consumption costs are likely to be 3300% higher than the cost of the motor, it can be no surprise that EU legislation has been introduced to encourage the adoption of higher efficiency motors. The EU estimates […]
