ASDs modulate motor speeds to meet your exact needs while maintaining your motor's efficiency. They can be used in conjunction with electric motors to process, pump, and compress air, gas, oil, water, refrigerants, waste, and other fluids. ASDs come in a variety of sizes and capacities to meet your business's particular needs. They must be installed carefully to avoid electrical harmonic-related problems. Choose an adjustable speed drive that matches your particular motor applications so your equipment doesn't have to work harder than it needs to.
Capacitors are common components in utility, industrial, and commercial power systems.
Qualified personnel can perform an analysis of your system to determine if these transient events are likely to occur. If nuisance tripping is likely, you can install a mitigation device, such as an inductive reactance in series with the drive input. Keep cables as short as possible. When the cable between an ASD and motor is too long, high voltage reflected waves develop and can damage the motor's insulation. Occasional power system faults create voltage sags and interruptions that last only a fraction of a second.
