The A/C Drives of a system are crucial for keeping the motor running at the right speed. This drive changes frequency throughout the cycle and causes the motor to speed up or slow down. These drives are used in many applications, including HVAC. They are primarily found in fans, compressors, and pumps. When one of these areas begins slowing down and not operating at the prime level, this may signal the drive has gone bad and needs to be repaired or replaced. There are many benefits to using these drives to operate HVAC system components.
The benefits of A/C Drives include:
* These drives offer a consistent level of energy savings due to the improved control of the speed of the components.
* An AC drive allows for a smoother ramp up and ramps down process during operation, so there is less stress placed on mechanisms of the fan or pump.
* Systems that use these drives are often less noisy than those without them.
* Fine tuning of HVAC systems is much easier when a system has an AC drive in place.
It is estimated around 40% of all household energy is used by the home or building’s HVAC system. With home and business owners now doing all they can to reduce their costs and harmful emissions into the atmosphere, these drives are proving helpful. With a drive installed in a system, the cost of operation is dramatically decreased.
If an HVAC system begins to experience problems, it is important the drive is checked for inconsistencies in frequency. It is important one does not take a DIY approach to checking or repairing the drive. A licensed electrician will need to check the drive and ensure it is operating properly. If any repairs need to be carried out, they must be done by the electrician, to avoid dangers.
