Driving down energy bills
Article Abstract:
Variable micro speed drives are the solution of the high electricity consumption of low power industrial AC induction motors. Micro speed drives feature basic functions for starting, stopping and speed control, and cost about 100 to 200 pounds sterling. These are small, easy to install and EMC compliant. These also provide motor thermal and current overload protection as well as soft start relays.

Speed limits
Article Abstract:
The use of variable speed drives can significantly reduce energy costs as it controls the speed of machinery smoothly in a wide range of applications where electric motors are subject to fluctuating loads, thus only the right amount of power needed is used.
