There are well-known benefits of using variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to reduce energy consumed by induction motors. Federal, state and local agencies in the U.S. now all give incentives for installing VFDs, as do many utilities. The energy saved by using VFDs can be compelling, and taking advantage of these programs can add considerably to their savings.
This story appeared in Industrial Maintenance & Plant Operations (IMPO) magazine, February 2009, Page 24 written by our very own Andy Kaiser. In the world of factory automation, value consideration has never been more important than today. More specifically, variable frequency drives are controlling a growing number of AC motors in almost every type of environment and application. Consequently, the choice of which VFD manufacturer to select is also becoming a very important decision.
