How can I save energy by using the MagnaDrive ASD over a valve or damper?
By using the MagnaDrive ASD to control flow in a process instead of a control valve or damper, you save energy by slowing the load speed to maintain flow. This means the flow becomes unrestricted, unloading the motor and saving energy. Also, this technology has the ability to start the equipment completely disconnected from the load, which means shorter duration of in-rush current to the motor at start up and reduced shock loading from hard starting the equipment.
