Why do you need a Vacon variable speed AC drive?
Vacon AC drives are used to steplessly control the rotation speed of a motor to match the needs of the process. This allows considerable energy savings to be achieved.
Vacon variable speed AC drives also reduce the load on the electricity network and the mechanical stress on machinery when starting a motor. AC drives also make it possible to connect electric motor drives to automation systems.
Pumps and fans are typical applications for variable speed AC drives. Other places where AC drives are used are
- hoists and cranes
- elevators
- paper machines
- air conditioning equipment
