Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
In any manufacturing process that requires less than 100% of designed speed, manufacturers should consider integrating VFDs for both low- and medium-voltage applications. They can help significantly reduce energy costs and, when properly applied, help eliminate valves, increase pump-seal life, reduce power surge during start-up, and contribute to a more flexible operation
The annual average cost of running one 100HP motor 24/7 is over $45,000. By reducing the run-time with a Variable Frequency Drive you could save up to 15%. That’s a $6,750 annual savings. . . on one motor!
