High Percentage of Plant Connected Horsepower is for Fans and Pumps•Opportunity to save energy when you can
reduce CFM or process flow rate using a variable speed drive rather than using dampers or a control valve

Adjustable Speed Drive Availability•110V Single Phase Fractional HP
•Medium Voltage (4160V) Thousands of HP
•Most are 460Volt 1-500 HP

Does my load profile vary sufficiently to justify a AFD?•If the Speed of the Application is constant
DO NOT USE
•If the load is not running at full speed for a large portion of the time then Evaluate the Use
•Sweet Spot is a Variable Torque Load

Variable Torque Loads(Fans & Pumps)

Variable Torque Loads
•In these applications:
• Torque varies directly with speed squared
• Power varies directly with speed cubed•This means that at half speed, the
horsepower required is approximately one eighth of rated maximum

Variable Speed Horsepower Requirements
Flow proportional to speed Q1/Q2= n1/n2
Then: HP2/HP1= (n2/n1)3
Therefore: HP2=HP1(n2/n1)3
At 80% Speed, HP=(.80)3 = .512

Some Considerations WhenApplying ASD to AC Motors
Thermal considerations of motor operation with a VFDshould be one of the first areas of attention for successfulapplication.• The ability of a motor to cool itself effectively is
reduced as the motor is slowed down. Over-sizing the motor or providing external forced air ventilation may be required with extended operation at low speeds and high loads.
• Operation at different speeds can cause mechanical resonances in driven equipment. These speeds should be identified and programmed out of the motor’s operating range.
![Page 18: WISA Meeting Help](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aba550346895da2c1d9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ASD Considerations •ASD’s generate harmonic voltages and
currents which can, in some cases, cause undesirable effects on the electrical distribution system and affect equipment operation.
•Longer Cable Lengths can cause a voltage reflection of up to two times the applied voltage due to standing waves or a ‘‘ringing effect’’, and becomes more problematic with longer cable runs (typically greater than 15 m or 50 feet).
