Avelair Compressed Air Systems: Motor Energy Controls

Motor Energy Controls

EnviroStart corrects the inefficiency of induction motors and hence create significant savings of between 15 and 40% of the electrical costs. The units will give soft start, energy control, soft stop, improved reliability and increased productivity.

The problem
Much of industry is driven by AC induction motors, which are the worlds most common form of electro-mechanical engineering consuming typically 70% of all electricity generated. This high energy consumption has a high financial cost and a high cost to the planet in terms of depleted resources and global warming.

Induction motors have distinct inefficiencies in that they cannot effectively adjust the amount of electricy they consume for the work they do; when they operate under less than full load, substantial power is wasted.

The solution
EnviroStart corrects this inefficiency. The units, designed to be simply fitted to single or three phase motors, will give soft start, energy control, soft stop, improved reliability and increased productivity. In addition, the systems have been developed with knowledge of the climatic problems associated with operations in a tropical or sub-tropical environment so offer rugged protection against high humidity and wide ranging temperatures.

Motors can consume electricity at more than ten times their capital cost each year. By giving control over the motor, EnviroStart can save between 15% and 40% of the electrical costs; without reducing speed, without any loss of power and without detriment to the motor or load.

Both single and three phase motor energy control units are available, ranging up to 800 kW in three phase and 30A in single phase, 220 V, 400 V and 690 V units are available in three phase and 110V and 220V in single phase.
