The VFD can be set up to match the various requirements of the control environment, such as the ramp-up and ramp-down times of the motor during start or stop, this helps to reduce the stress on the pump motor, and allows for a smooth increase or decrease in speed.<\/p>\n There are many reasons why you may want to control the speed of a motor:<\/p>\n There are essentially no differences, as all these names refer to similar types of motor speed controller.<\/p>\n There are two major types of motor speed control available:<\/p>\n While mechanical speed control can be very effective and reliable, it tends to lack efficiency, usually around 70%. This results in an increase in energy consumption.<\/p>\n When VFD drives are used correctly, efficiencies of 80-95% can be achieved, which results in better energy savings.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n When choosing a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) one of the most important things to consider is the type of load being applied to the motor, as this will determine the size and cost of the VFD. It is imperative for the VFD to have the required capability for the motor to produce the desired torque for the load.<\/p>\n\t For more information,<\/b><\/p>\n\tDownload our Pumpforce delivers a range of variable speed drives for all your pump requirements automatically adjusting the flow rate to suit demand.
