Saving energy not only reduces costs – it also minimises CO2 emissions, so you’ll be making a contribution towards climate protection. The combination of highly efficient motors and frequency-controlled drives can multiply the energy saving potential still further. ABB Industrial Drives offers you the opportunity to make the most of this potential efficiency. Most industrial motors and the methods that have been tried so far to control them, including for fans and pump applications, have only wasted energy. The disadvantages of basic control methods There are many simple control methods such as throttle control and by-pass control. As they are usually very easy to set up, they appear, at first glance, to be value for money. But the disadvantages outweigh the advantages: It is very difficult to achieve optimal process capacity, which in turn delivers the best quality, with a basic control method.It is usually necessary to overhaul the entire process in order to increase the production capacity.Every time the machine is switched on directly, there is a risk of electrical or mechanical damage.The simpler control methods use a lot of energy, which means that your total operating costs will be higher than if you were using variable-speed drives. Over the length of the service life, the investment and operating costs for simple control methods are much higher than for variable-speed drives.
