EnglishHow does an inverter reduce energy consumption?
Wednesday 20 April 2022
Inverters also known as Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) help match motor speeds to the exact requirements of each application, saving energy and providing improved control. Â
Globally, 40% of electricity is used to power industry, with two-thirds of this used to power electric motors. In Europe, eight billion electric motors consume nearly 50% of electricity.
Yet only 20% of electric motors are controlled by inverters. That's a lot of wasted energy and a much higher amount of carbon emissions produced.

How does an inverter reduce energy consumption?
Inverters are used in conjunction with electric motors. An inverter’s basic function is to allow speed control over the motor. Â
Without an inverter, a motor is either off or running at affixed speed. Inverters not only control the speed of electric motors, but they offer better process control, gentle starts and stops and even improve power factor.Flow control of applications such as fans and pumps are usually achieved by using a valve or damper, but guess what? There is a far better way to achieve this flow control, one that will save a considerable amount of energy, yes you guess it! Inverters…
