Variable Speed Drives

SMB Electric provides the option to integrate Variable Speed Drives into the switchgear which provides the following benefits:

  • Improve energy efficiency
  • Improve power factor and process precision
  • Provide other performance benefits such as soft starting
  • Lower mechanical stress on the system leading to longer life, lower maintenance overhead
  • Reduced voltage drop on start-up
  • Eliminate the need for expensive and energy wasting throttling mechanisms such as control valves and outlet dampers
