AC Drives: Cost Effective Electrical Control
One of the reasons AC drives are becoming so popular in the industrial control realm is they provide accurate speed, torque and other control functions for AC motors without the use of mechanical parts. Mechanical parts can wear out in a hurry in harsh conditions and certain types of environments…which means more money must be spent on parts replacement after using the drive awhile. If you consider this plus the accurate control (which results in reduced production costs), you can easily understand how installing an AC drive for your AC motor will save your plant or facility money.
Think about it! With the throttling process, there are contactors and reactors for the electrical side but also mechanical valves. For On/Off control systems, there are mechanical valves as well as a pressure tank. Traditional control devices have always featured mechanical parts. So this one benefit alone makes installing an AC drive for your facility’s motor a wise choice. AC drives provide an all-in-one motor control solution with just one electrical component for cost and energy savings! Some manufacturers and distributors provide free one-on-one consultations to help with your application. For example, at Carotron, you can speak with a qualified sales engineer for help with your AC motor control needs.
