Variable frequency drives (VFDs) reduce the energy usage of motors and improve their lifespan.

At Wolters Motors & Drives, we carry a wide variety of VFDs that can help you improve operations. Here we’ve collected some of the foremost benefits for you.

How VFDs Save Energy

VFDs save energy by allowing motors to operate at less than optimal speeds when needed. By reducing energy consumption, it makes your motors run more efficiently.

For example, reducing a motor’s speed by 50% can save up to 90% on energy consumption.

How VFDs Work

VFDs work by controlling the torque of motors and limiting motor feedback. Some VFDs can work with multiple motors, meaning even more energy efficiency.

VFDs manipulate the incoming and outgoing electrical current of motors to control amplitude and frequency to effectively reduce motor speed.

Five Reasons To Install VFDs To Save Energy

1. Reducing Wear & Tear

By installing VFDs for your motor, you can reduce wear and tear and extend its lifespan. It can also minimize the chances of your motor overheating.

2. Energy Savings

The proper VFD can enable you to save up to 90% of energy consumption while running your motors.

3. Minimized Demand Charges

Commercial and industrial businesses are often charged based on the highest utility demand for a given year. By reducing the speed of your motors, you’ll also pay reduced demand charges annually.

4. Offset Oversizing

The design of a VFD minimizes the energy loss expended due to oversized motors.

5. Financial Incentives

In addition to the factors mentioned above, installing energy-saving VFDs enables you to take advantage of tax credits, rebates, and other financial incentives for additional savings.
