Here are some additional advantages of general-purpose economic variable frequency drives:
1.
Improved power factor: VFDs can improve the power factor of the system, leading to more efficient use of electrical energy and potentially reducing utility costs.
2.
Motor protection: VFDs provide additional motor protection features, such as phase loss protection, undervoltage, and overvoltage protection, which help prevent motor damage.
3.
Smooth acceleration and deceleration: VFDs enable smooth acceleration and deceleration of equipment, minimizing stress on mechanical components and reducing the risk of mechanical failure.
4.
Flexibility in control: VFDs offer the flexibility to control a wide range of equipment and processes, making them adaptable to various industrial applications.
5.
Remote control capabilities: Many general-purpose economic VFDs allow for remote control and monitoring, making it easier to manage and operate equipment from a distance.
6.
Reduced inrush current: By using VFDs, inrush current during motor startup is significantly reduced, which helps prevent potential damage to electrical components and prolongs their lifespan.
These additional benefits further emphasize the value of general-purpose economic variable frequency drives in various industrial applications.
