Aren energy efficient motors unsuitable for adjustable speed drive applications?
“Severe-duty” application conditions are not affected by motor efficiency. Energy efficient motors may, in fact, be more suited for variable speed drive use than their standard-efficiency counterparts. Many manufacturers now produce energy efficient ASD, inverter drive, or inverter duty motors. These motors are provided with a totally enclosed nonventilated enclosure or are equipped with a fixed-speed fan or blower system.
