What is said about the energy saving potential of VSD (variable speed drive) in industry? Replacing conventional motors by those with variable speed would save about 41 percent of the energy used in…
Read Full articleInnovation is improving electric motors in five key ways
Electric motors can be found in everything from cars to toothbrushes. Electric motors-and the systems they use- account for more than 40% of global electricity consumption, according to the…
Read Full articleTop 10 about Electric Motor Systems
In industry, electric motors are widespread and often hidden in closed systems such as fans, pumps or compressors. In the transition towards a zero-carbon energy system, the role of electric motors will grow even further. The technology to make motor systems more energy efficient is available on the market and its adoption is mostly beneficial from a life-cycle costing perspective.
