The
Problem
|
|
The
Solution |
 |
Electrical
High
starting Current
Voltage Dips
Contactor wear/failure
Overloading/heating
|
 |
Reduced
inrush and starting current, reduced wear on electricial
equipment and motor windings, allowing more frequent starting
and stopping of motors. Increased protection on motor and
peripherals. |
 |
Mechanical
High
shock load backlash
Transmission fatigue/wear
Vee belt stress and slip
Noise & vibration
|
 |
Smooth
stepless acceleration reducing stresses on mechanical transmission
systems. Variable ramp times.
Controlled gradual deceleration - essential on fluids. Increased
safety. |
 |
Economic
Maximum
demand charges
Equipment maintenance
Reduced motor life
Wasted energy
|
 |
Reduced
peak demand and improved power factor. Reduced maintenance
costs and equipment life extended. Lower cost installation.
Speedy payback with saved energy. |
 |
Application
Increased
downtime
Loss of production
Product damage/breakage
Lack of control
|
 |
Minimises
risk of damage or breakage to products in manufacture with
'snatch free' take up. Trouble-free operation and increased
production. Improved control and status information. |
