Reducing Energy Costs for Pumping Applications

In the early days of variable-frequency drives (VFD), the typical application was in process control. Because VFDs improved process performance and reduced maintenance costs, they replaced motor generator sets and dc drives. When the energy crisis occurred, reducing energy costs became a critical goal. This white paper discusses how VFDs can reduce energy costs when used in large pump applications.
