Advances in Motor Technology & Energy Efficiency Initiatives Demand Next-Generation, Multiple-Capability Drives

Factories and machine builders are seeking ways to boost motor efficiency to intelligently maximize energy savings. Users are also transitioning from induction motors to interior permanent motors. These trends are propelling the need for higher performance drives that are facilitated through such innovations as variable frequency inverter technology.

Energy efficiency initiatives, as well as advances in motor technology, have propelled demand for a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) that is suitable for both low performance applications such as pumps and fans, as well as high performance industrial applications.

This white paper discusses how such a VFD fits in the current marketplace with the following main topics:

  • The benefits of VFD use beyond pumps and fans
  • The increasing use of interior permanent magnet motors (IPMs)
  • VFD demand in response to increasingly challenging applications
  • How the Mitsubishi Electric FR-A800 Series VFD meets these demands
