Enhance Performance with VFD Technology
Energy savings for pumping applications
BY TOM NEUBERGER & STEVEN WESTON, Eaton
In the early days of variable frequency drive (VFD) technology, the typical application was in process control for manufacturing synthetic fiber, steel bars and aluminum foil. Because VFD improved process performance and reduced maintenance costs, they replaced motor generator sets and direct current (DC) drives. When the energy crisis occurred in the early 1970s, saving energy became a critical goal, and the use...
