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 synchronous reluctance motor (VSD4000)
For particularly energy-efficient operation, the best choice is a system comprising a SIMOTICS reluctance motor and a SINAMICS converter. The reluctance technology ensures particularly high dynamic performance and high efficiencies even in the partial load range, as well as high process quality.
