Converter-optimized motors (Variable Speed Drive motors)
The SIMOTICS GP VSD motors are based on the platform of the SIMOTICS GP motor series. The design corresponds to the line motors – the mechanical parts are identical. The motors are adapted to the converter by appropriately dimensioning the active part and VSD-specific rating plate data. In addition, a large number of the variations available for the line motors (types of construction, motor protection, terminal box position, and options) are also available for the VSD motors.
•Converter-optimized asynchronous motor (VSD10)
This investment-optimized system comprising a SIMOTICS GP VSD10 motor and a SINAMICS converter permits simple selection via a catalog or engineering tool, along with fast commissioning based on a data matrix code for predefined converter parameters. Optimum matching of the motors to operational conditions on the converter results in lower system losses and thus high energy efficiency.
