How could we select VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE to match with an existing motor?
Begin with the engine and verify it is suited to its task (it has not overcharged or oversized).
First of all identify the operating profile of the load. It means to measure the required spin moment and current energy consumption under all operating conditions.
Then, this description needs to be examined to identify:1. Motor size is correct. 2.setting is suited to the application of a variable speed drive motor.
VSD must be adjusted to the motor load, in consideration with the maximum current requirements under top torque demands. Variable speed drives cannot be sized only using the kilowatt rating of the motor.
Are some motor systems inappopriate to VSD?
Variable speed drive cannot achieve significant results in energy savings in the applications where the engine load remains roughly constant, because the opportunity to reduce power is decreased.
What kind of motor system appropriate to VSD?
Fans and pumps: Replace throttling valves and dampers with variable speed drives and achieve a considerable amount of energy savings. It can be possible in the applications where the flow of fluid is variable.
Compressors and chillers: Compressors can also take advantage of the energy saving that is achieved by varying the flow with VSD, as well as fans and pumps.
Conveyors: For conveyors, that have varying speed or varying material flow, VSD can adjust to the changing load requirements.
