With the recently introduced Motor Mounted Line, Innomotics combines highly efficient permanent magnet motors with a mounted frequency converter. The compact system is suitable for applications such as pumps, fans, or compressors. The permanent magnet motor features a particularly high power density. Compared to asynchronous motors, a smaller frame size can be chosen for the same power output. Additionally, high torques are available even at low speeds, which supports operation under variable load conditions. The direct combination with the frequency converter allows for versatile design options when installing the compact overall system. Another significant advantage is its energy efficiency. The motor achieves efficiency class IE5 according to IEC/TS 60034-30-2, while the converter is rated IE2 according to EN 61800-9-2. Together, this results in a system efficiency class of IES5. This significantly reduces energy consumption during operation and lessens the load on the power grid infrastructure. With "Evaluate", Innomotics offers an online tool that allows plant operators to calculate potential CO2 reduction, energy savings, and amortization periods. The Motor Mounted Line is available in frame sizes 71, 90, and 132 mm and covers a power range from 0.37 to 22 kW. The nominal speeds are 1500 and 3000 rpm. The housing is made of aluminum, with a standard IP rating of IP55. For systems up to 7.5 kW, the converter is passively cooled, with an IP rating of IP65. Integration into automation environments is ensured through support for common fieldbus systems. Modbus RTU is available as standard, with options to add CANopen, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet-based interfaces. Furthermore, there are various equipment options such as a potentiometer, membrane keypad, or MMI displays for operation, as well as different connection solutions. The system is pre-configured by Innomotics and can be commissioned without complex parameterization. With the free Innomotics MD Connect PC Tool, parameterization, monitoring, and troubleshooting of the converter can be performed. Retrofitting existing line-powered motors is straightforward. For operators, this means simplified installation and commissioning. www.innomotics.com

Comparision of power consumpten (MWh/year) and CO2 emission (t/year) (Source: Mitsubishi Electric) The series also makes maintenance simpler. Its preventive maintenance functions include lifetime diagnostics for key components like capacitors and fans, helping operators spot potential issues early, especially when using the FR Configurator2 support software. Anomaly detection based on current patterns helps reduce the risk of unexpected downtime, and when a fault does occur, analysis functions solve the problem quickly. "Energy efficiency, simplicity, and reliability are essential for modern automation applications and industry in general," added Marumoto. "The FR-D800 series shows Mitsubishi Electric's commitment to providing solutions that meet these needs while contributing to a greener future." The FR-D800 series will be available globally from March 2025, with models designed for different voltage requirements, including single-phase 100V, 200V, and three-phase 400V options. https://de.mitsubishielectric.com/fa/de_en/products/drv/inv/frd-series/frd800

EnerTech frequency converter uses highly efficient IGBT-based architecture with PWM-based design to achieve a higher stability and crest factor.

These VFDs are used in applications across a broad spectrum of industries worldwide. These include manufacturing to optimise production line efficiency in processes like pumps, fans, and conveyors; HVAC building services to regulate ventilation, air conditioning, and water pumps in commercial and industrial buildings; water and wastewater to improve efficiency in water treatment plants and pumping stations; renewable energy to control wind turbines and solar tracking systems; to HVAC-R for optimising performance of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. Its Optidrive VFDs play a crucial role in reducing energy consumption of up to 50 per cent in some applications and associated emissions. By precisely controlling electric motors, they ensure they only use the power needed for the specific task, significantly reducing wasted energy. This technology is particularly impactful considering estimates suggest over 80 million electric motors operate globally without VFD control. Designed and manufactured at the company's headquarters near Welshpool, UK, the production of the three millionth VFD represents Invertek Drives' ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability. “Tackling energy waste and emissions is a global priority," said Adrian Ellam, CEO of Invertek Drives Ltd. "Our VFDs provide a powerful and proven solution. Expanding their use will significantly impact environmental sustainability. We innovate relentlessly, ensuring our technology remains at the forefront of efficiency.” www.invertekdrives.com Read the full article

A frequency converter is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) of one distribution standard frequency & voltage to alternating current of another frequency & voltage of other distribution standard.
