Variable Speed Drive Blog

/in /by

The Precision Electric variable speed drive blog offers information about variable speed drives used in the industrial manufacturing world. The information on the Precision Electric variable speed drive blog comes from hands-on experience made by Precision Electric service technicians. The Precision Electric variable speed drive blog is an excellent source to learn about variable speed drive applications in the industrial manufacturing world.

What Is A Variable Speed Drive?

Variable speed drives are also known as variable frequency drives. Variable frequency drives are solid state motor control systems designed to control the speed of an alternating current (AC) electric motor. Variable frequency drives are often seen in manufacturing facilities across the globe. Variable frequency drives can reduce energy costs by 50% or more, by reducing the AC electric motor speed (RPM) on variable torque applications such as fan and pump motor applications.

When To Replace / Repair A Variable Speed Drive

Maintenance technicians in the industrial manufacturing world send variable speed drives and other related equipment to repair facilities when their equipment fails. Once the repair facility has inspected and determined the cause of failure on the variable speed drive equipment, the repair technician offers a repair and/or replacement quote. When obsolete variable speed drive equipment cannot be economically repaired, variable speed drive repair facilities should offer a solution to retrofit said variable speed drive equipment with new variable speed drive equipment.

Where To Send Variable Speed Drives For Repair

Qualified repair facilities are an asset to industrial manufacturers, so it is important to send failed variable speed drives and other related equipment to a trustworthy repair facility.Precision Electric has repaired thousands of variable speed drives that other repair facilities have determined to be ‘not worth repair’. Precision Electric stands out from their competition by keeping customer’s production to a maximum while minimizing the overall downtime.
