Energy Saving : Motor and Inverter systems
With the ever-rising costs of energy, and environmental concerns, each and everyone needs to be aware of the need to
conserve energy. The commonly used electric induction motor, although reasonably efficient in itself, offers considerable
scope for energy savings by controlling its speed and power using an electronic inverter. Even relatively old motors can
be made to run more efficiently. However, new energy efficient electric motors are also readily available, which offer
significant savings in overall running costs.
Merlin Control Systems Ltd can provide and install equipment to maximise the efficient use of energy, by ensuring that
motors, pumps, heating and ventilation systems run only at pre-determined times and at controlled power levels.
Modern control equipment allows the user to identify and monitor energy consumption, and significantly reduces the running
costs of electrical plant, so that a modest capital outlay can be quickly recouped, with steady and on-going savings
generated thereafter.
It is also possible to regenerate energy under shut-down or braking of multi-inverter installations, thereby saving even
more.
Of course, it is not just energy that is saved. Equipment which is working more efficiently works less hard, lasts longer,
and needs less maintenance.
