More efficient plant operation

01-Aug-2010

A modular frequency inverter has been introduced which is specifically designed for pump, fan, and compressor applications.

The Sinamics G120P from Siemens Industry Automation & Drive Technologies is a compact drive which provides energy-efficient operation of flow machines in building automation, as well as the process and water management sectors. It can also be used for the closed-loop speed control of fans and circulating pumps for heating and cooling systems, for booster pumps, or for pumps for level control.

It features IP55 ingress protection, which ensures it can be used in harsh conditions and the inverter is available in the 0.37kW to 90kW power range. The power range is covered in only six frame sizes. Sinamics G120P comprises a control unit, a power module and can be optionally equipped with an intelligent operator panel.

The inverter has functions for improving energy efficiency. For example, an integrated hibernation function enables operation in energy-saving standby mode.

By automatically switching to line-fed operation at rated speed, a saving of up to 3% of the energy consumption can also be achieved.
