Energy savings: Right-sizing electric motors could save billions Energy efficiency losses through over-sizing of pump electric motors by engineers are commonplace, according to WEG Electric Motors. Transformerless motors: Higher performance and lower cost Reducing input harmonics using an input isolation transformer with multiple secondary windings to feed VFD bridges can compromise, and raise, maintenance cost. CAN control: Intelligent drive for servo applications New servo drive combines motion controller, drive and PLC functions.
