Why Save Energy? Saving energy saves you money and helps combat climate change. Energy Saving Solutions AC motors account for more than 50% of industries energy usage, using a Variable Speed Drive to reduce the speed of a pump, fan or other application can typically achieve the following savings; reduce motor speed by 10%, achieve a 27% reduction in energy consumption reduce motor speed by 20%, achieve a 48% reduction in energy consumption   Saving Energy with our variable speed drives & motors We can offer full energy audits for your site, including site survey and full report highlighting any potential saving you could achieve on your plant. Systems are designed so the motor runs at the correct speed to deliver the exact rate required by the process.This brings several important benefits. Energy consumption can be radically reduced, often by thousands of pounds per year. Motors are fixed design capacity, while the duty requirement is often between frame sizes The soft starting provided by the variable speed drive reduces the wear and increases the life of the motor as well as that of the pipe work and associated plant External controls, such as pressure reduction valves can be eliminated and plant room space saved, reducing capital and maintenance costs The variable speed drive can be easily interfaced with external systems and components, such as pressure transducers, temperature sensors, building management systems (BMS) and many field bus protocols, even be remotely controlled via the Internet. Enhanced Capital Allowances The Government has introduced enhanced capital allowances to give a further financial incentive for users to choose energy efficiency. Variable speed drives in pump and fan applications qualify enabling companies to write off the full cost against tax in the year of purchase, with drives that are on the Government Technology List for Enhanced Capital Allowances.   Carbon Trust interest free loan Small and medium sized enterprises can get an interest free loan for the purchase of variable speed drives, repayable over four years. As the monthly energy savings are likely to be greater than the repayments, you may well end up making a profit on your installation.
