Adjustable speed drives in the shape of frequency
converters have traditionally been used in industrial applications.
Recent developments in power electronics along with a
growing awareness of environmental issues have made it feasible to extend the use of
inverters into low-power, cost sensitive applications areas.
General incentives for using inverter-based, adjustable speed drives:
 |
Reduced energy consumption |
|
Lower acoustic noise |
|
Improved process control |
|
General improvement of working and residential environment |
|
Longer lifetime |
