Do You Need A Single Phase VFD?

Thursday, December 22, 2011 by Beckie Bordenaro
Marshall Wolf Automation is the place to go for single phase variable frequency drives!

teco ev seriesWe are authorized stocking distributors for all the top names including AC Tech Lenze, Hitachi VFD"s, Delta, Fuji Electric and TECO Westinghouse drives.

The use of speed control with single-phase induction motors is popular because it not only provides variable speed but also reduces energy consumption and noise.

As you have probably already realized 3 phase input/output AC drives are easy to come by... single phase input/3 phase output can be a little bit more difficult.

If you would like to speak to engineer about your single phase VFD application just give us a call at 800-325-9653 or shoot us an email - sales@wolfautomation.com.

Green Alternative to Dynamic Braking

Friday, November 4, 2011 by Caryl Clement
Reclaim normally wasted energy and convert it into 3 phase AC power!


The RCU Series offers an affordable “green” alternative to traditional dynamic braking (DB) systems. Instead of wasting regenerative energy as heat, the RCU reclaims that energy, converting it into 3-phase alternating current (AC) power.

The energy is recycled through the AC line, resulting in increased energy efficiency and reduced energy consumption. In many applications, the amount of energy that can be reclaimed is quite significant, thus providing a measurable return on investment and short pay-back cycle relative to the cost of the RCU.

RCU HitachiFurthermore, the waste heat generated by conventional DB often creates the need for additional cooling and air-conditioning, which can be costly. Thus, the elimination of DB waste heat is a secondary benefit of the RCU Series. In this way, incorporating an RCU in the system allows for a smaller cooling system (HVAC), offsetting the up-front cost of the regenerative unit, and additionally, reducing the demands placed on the cooling system.

The RCU is simple to install and operate, with only five connections necessary for basic operation. It incorporates LC-filtering to mitigate harmonics and an LED display for monitoring of operation and faults. The RCU is available in several sizes, and units can be parallel-connected for higher power handling.

Hitachi WJ200 with Built-In Safe Circuit!

Monday, September 19, 2011 by Beckie Bordenaro
hitachi wj200 vfdWe had a meeting with our Hitachi variable frequency drive reps this week and learned a bit more about the popular Hitachi WJ200 high performance AC drive line.

A great feature the WJ200 Hitachi VFD offers is a built-in safe stop circuit feature. Basically what this means is if you are using an e-stop you can eliminate the contactor!

Another benefit of the safe stop circuit is you will only lose output to the estop, not the communication to the PLC.

Did I mention the 10 year warranty on the fan and capacitors?

Soft Starters and Variable Frequency Drives

Friday, January 7, 2011 by Beckie Bordenaro

When you have motors that are started across the line a large amount of energy is used when accelerating quickly to full speed.

vfd ac driveVariable frequency drives (VFD's) are popular for applications such as fans, mixers, conveyors and compressors. Variable speed drives can be a key part of any energy management solution and will reduce stress on motors and equipment.

Soft starters are ideal for simple RUN/STOP applications and are also popular for pumps, mixers and fan applications that require a limited amount of starts and stops.

An advantage high performance AC drives have over soft starters is that it allows you control the speed.

If you'd like to talk to our technical department to see whether your application requires a variable frequency drive or a soft starter just contact us! 1-800-325-9653 or sales@wolfautomation.com.

What Does A Variable Frequency Drive Do?

Monday, December 20, 2010 by Beckie Bordenaro

A variable frequency drive (VFD) is used to control the speed of an AC industrial electric motor.

variable speed driveHow does the variable speed drive do this? The AC drive controls the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor.

Variable frequency drives are called many things. You may call them adjustable speed drives, variable speed drives, AC drives, micro drives, inverter drives, motor speed drives or adjustable frequency drives.

Regardless of what you call them - we have it!

Variable frequency drives are popular in a wide range of applications. HVAC systems in large building, pumps, elevators, conveyors and automated machinery are just a few of the more common industries.

Delta VFD-F Series High Performance AC Drives for Fan & Pump Apps!

Tuesday, July 13, 2010 by Beckie Bordenaro
Do you have an application that requires flow control?

fan and pump driveCommonly used methods for flow control include throttling or restrictive devices such as valves, outlet dampers and inlet vanes. Mechanical speed changers and recirculating systems are sometimes used.

The problem is all of these devices waste energy, dissipate power by friction and diffuse heat.

A variable frequency drive is the solution!
A variable frequency drive, when used in place of a control valve to restrict pump output, often offers significant cost savings.

Our Delta VFD-F series drive in a fan and pump system can not only provide you with cost savings but also give you great performance advantages as well!

A VFD (variable frequency drive) offers a more efficient alternative and is an imperative part of any energy management solution!
