Energy Efficiency

Unique modular inverter design has improved efficiency over Cascaded H-
Bridge and Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) inverter designs.

Uses the latest in efficient IGBT designs for minimum losses and maximum
performance.

Inverter efficiency >99% over a wide speed range and wide load range

Modular inverter design allowing the input converter to operate more effi-
ciently than other inverter designs reducing losses

No efficiency reducing output transformers or output filters are required

Input power supply power factor of
≥
0.95 minimizes losses in the power sup-
ply and input wiring
Energy Savings

Shaft power of motor driven equipment (fans, pumps, blower) is proportional
to the cube of the rotational speed

By design, VFDs improve efficiency at low speeds

Considerable energy savings can be achieved by outfitting motors with VFDs,
as the speed can be adjusted to match the required load
