In industry, many motors run continuously - even when full power is not required. This is not only a burden on the climate, but also on the balance sheet. The use of frequency inverters promises a simple solution here: they help to significantly reduce energy consumption, wear and CO\u2082 emissions. The following article shows how this works.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Energy costs - and it costs a lot. But it becomes even more expensive when it simply goes up in smoke. In industry, countless motors run continuously, at full power, even when there is no demand. The result: extreme power consumption, machine wear and CO\u2082 emissions. And: It would be easy to avoid. Because the solution is a frequency inverter. It regulates how fast a motor really needs to turn instead of constantly running at full throttle. And that is not only easy on the wallet, but also on the environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Pumps or ventilation systems are usually operated via on\/off switching - so either full power or nothing at all. Uncomplicated, but unfortunately inefficient. This is because very few processes require 100 % of power on a permanent basis. A lower speed would often be sufficient.<\/p>

But how can this be realised? With frequency converters! Frequency inverters regulate the frequency and voltage of the motor<\/a>, which influences the speed. A fan that only runs at 80 % instead of 100 %, for example, not only consumes 20 % less energy - but often over 40 %. This is due to the physical relationship between speed and power consumption: small differences in speed = large differences in consumption.<\/p>

So instead of running motors stubbornly at full load, the frequency inverter adapts the power precisely to the demand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Frequency inverters make sense wherever motors do not always have to run at maximum power. Examples?
