This range of energy optimizing products has been developed to help businesses reduce their energy usage. Products offering energy savings are vital, as the cost of energy is rising rapidly. Most of the electric motors used these days are fixed speed, fixed voltage AC induction motors. These motors consume around 65% of the total energy used in industry. Therefore making use of technology that can save energy on fixed speed induction motors is strongly advised when designing new systems or replacing motor starters. Up to 40% of the energy used by a lightly loaded motor can be saved by using this technology. This system works by reducing the current and iron losses of a motor not running at a full load. The electrical and mechanical strain put on applications is drasticly reduced, and will save businesses money by ensuring less ‘down-time’ and maintance cost on gearboxes, electrical circuits and belts. 20kW Motor Running at 20% Load This diagram shows a 20kW motor that is running at 20% of its full load capacity. The application is calculated to be losing 0.6kW per hour through the heat generated in the motor windings, plus an additional 2.6 KW per hour through iron losses in the motor. The total efficiency of the application is shown as 54%. 20kW Motor Running at 20% Load with a FE Optimizing Soft Starter This example shows how the energy optimizing system reduces the energy consumed. Once the optimizing process takes place, the heat generated is reduced to 0.4kW per hour and the iron losses of the motor reduced to 1 kW per hour. The total efficiency of the application is shown as 71%. In this example, this optimizing system would produce a saving of 1.8 kW per hour.
