AD800 Vector Control AC Drive
High performance vector control drive with open loop and closed loop vector modes, torque control and wide speed range.
View Product ›Reduced stress by optimizing the start
Your grinders do hard work. The material is tough and stresses the motor and gearbox, increasing maintenance needs and the shorter lifetime of the mechanical parts is a real possibility.
Our low and medium voltage AC drives can help you reduce these needs. The drives help to optimize the grinder speed to match the material flow, minimizing wear and tear and they reduce the mechanical stresses during start up.
You can also use our drives to control the speed of permanent magnet motors and low voltage synchronous motors in applications running at low speeds. This enables using gearboxes with simple and robust construction.
Reducing mechanical stress. Optimized grinder speed. Everything counts to keep the material flowing efficiently through your grinders.
Highlights
Soft starting with low starting current
Eliminated mechanical stress during starting
Reduced maintenance costs
Optimized grinder speed
Minimized wear of the grinder
Improved energy efficiency
Reduced reactive power consumption
Various grinder operational values can be measured and relayed to plant automation systems: no need for external measuring devices
This article was published on the original KEWO site in 2015 as general guidance on drive selection for this load type. The technical points apply to any low or medium voltage AC drive, including the KEWO AD and SD3000 series.
