Since the motor speed is constant, decreasing the air volume does not greatly reduce the energy consumption Generally, the speed of a standard motor cannot be changed. The motor speed usually changes by means of a coupling, which is installed between the motor and the load to create a sliding effect. For a variable-torque load, dampers or valves are normalty used to reduce the air or water flows However, since the rotation speed of a standard motor is almost constant, the motor output does not change much even when the load speed or air/water volume changes, Therefore, the remaining power after subtracting ‘the required power from the motor output is consumed as heat loss at the coupling or damper.

Reducing the air volume will lead to large eneray savings mm 30H: lm Why can inverter-driven motors save energy? When a motor is driven by an inverter at a medium speed, the voltage is reduced in proportion to the motor speed regardless of the current flow. This contributes to energy saving. It can be said that in any application, driving a variable-speed motor with an inverter can reduce the energy consumption, This means that driving a variable-speed motor with an inverter can save far mare energy than driving a standard motar with 2 commercial power supply and applying brakes to reduce its speed to a medium speed, [Blower Operation Characteri wf tacecaly 2 z Driven by commercial © sco} powerscply 2 0 E 5 6 8 4 S 2» So oa 6a) 100 Air volurne (9) Output voltage Base frequency voltage Base Output frequency frequency (Wi Inverter_Energy_Seving_ENG Load Torque Characteristics Constant-torque load: The torque does not change much even if the motor speed changes.

IPM motors can provide higher performance and energy efficiency compared to induction motors. The rotating magnetic Feld of the stator and the magnetic elds of the embedded magnets in the rotor generate the torque to produce rotation power. ‘Mitsubishi IPM motors (MMM-EFS and MM-THE®) can be used for the FR-FB0O series ‘and FR-F70OP) series. The motor can be replaced without making any modifications to the motor mounting frame of a machine designed for an induction motor. Since no cutrent flows through the rotor side (secondary side), there is no secondary copper loss. This reduces the energy loss. ‘Meanuile, when an IPM motor is operated with an inverter at the same rotation speed as when it was operated with a commercial power supply the total loss of the IPM motor and the inverter becomes smaller than that when a standard motor is ‘operated with a commercial power supply (55 kW or lower. “The inital cost of introducing a premium high-efficiency IPM motor (MIM-EFS) is ‘expensive; however, its high efficiency and reduced power consumption wll eaize the most cost-effective operation after the fist five years. Replacing # standard motor (SF-IR) with an IPM motor (MM-EFS) reduces both electricity charges and CO, emissions, Explains the MM-EFS and MM-THE4 Tineup.
