Using variable frequency drives provides many benefits to end users.
Motors
Motors are the most common source of power used by pumping systems. This technology is heavily regulated. Pumps by themselves are not variable speed, an option that many systems need to operate with peaks and ebbs during the run cycle, such as power generation. The addition of a variable frequency drive (VFD) gives it that capability.
Repetitive motor failures may be caused by a lack of diagnostic or forensic repair information reported to the motor owner.
A variable frequency drive’s effect on system efficiency and motor life
End users must include bearing clearance as an integral part of designing or building a pump.
A strong safety program and preventive equipment are crucial for operator and equipment safety.
Make the ideal motor selection for irrigation applications.
Equipment and technology improvements can be sound investments.
In the food industry, stainless steel performs more productively and efficiently.
A simple mathematical model can be used to estimate vibration at the top of the motor in a vertical pump-motor structure.
