| For reason of energy savings, reduction of operating costs, reduction of machine down time, maximizing productivity and the ability to provide adjustable speed control with standard squirrel cage induction motors, Variable Speed Drives are becoming the essential components in every modern automation system. For example, a pump or fan, controlled by
a variable speed drive, running at half speed consumes only one-eighth of the energy compared to one running at full speed; the use of variable speed drive enables the users to synchronize, maintain or match the speeds of different sections of equipment in a manufacturing installation.
The Schneider Electric's Variable Speed Drives have been specifically designed to make these benefits readily, easily and inexpensively available to every user. The ALTIVAR®
products make use of the latest flux vector control techniques to combine accurate speed control even at low speeds with high operating efficiency. The VSD07/17/57 Series general purpose V/Hz drives are simple to operate, suitable for simple applications such as fans, pumps, compressors, conveyors and packaging machines. | |
