Energy Saving

The installation meant removing the existing drive and replacing it with an ABB drive, ACS850, featuring a more power- ful core processor that enables operation with the synchronous reluctance motor along with the next generation direct torque control (DTC), which avoids the need for encoders and speed feedback devices.

The SynRM has also resulted in a 75% reduction in audible noise: down from 78 dBA to 72.3 dBA when running at 1450rpm.
