π Tender Overview
Since July 2021 for the first time ever drives sold in the European Union and EEA are required to meet minimum efficiency requirements. In Danfoss we have put in much work getting ready to meet the labelling and documentation requirements. Electric motors are also covered by the new EU regulation and the efficiency requirements increased even more.Using more efficient motors and drives is the foundation for an efficient system. And variable speed operation leads to significant energy savings in the range of 15-40. But what about the drive settings Do they have an impact on the power consumption of the electric motorDanfoss Drives experts have attempted to answer this question and illustrate it practically. Several drives used for the ventilation of the Danfoss Drives factory and offices in Graasten Denmark were measured. The conclusion is that depending on the specific application the energy savings obtained from proper drive settings are comparable as order of magnitude with upgrading from the least efficient IE1 motor to the most efficient IE4 class.Helping our customers to achieve the highest efficiency level is of great importance to us. This is ensured by using the DrivePro Life Cycle Service Start-up where Danfoss service experts make sure that the drive has the optimal settings and the highest possible efficiency is achieved.
