I conducted an automated search across various online forums but did not come across a similar discussion thread. It seems like this type of inquiry may be restricted, despite the terms of service allowing for product/service reviews. Nevertheless, I will proceed with my query. Our company is in the market for several 125 to 150 HP 1800 rpm motors paired with standard vector or inverter VFDs in the coming years. Can anyone recommend any reputable brands or newly released models that have garnered positive reviews from users?
In my extensive experience in the VFD industry as a field service manager during the 1990s, including the installation and repair of VFDs up to 150 horsepower, I have found that most reputable manufacturers can meet your needs. Many of these manufacturers actually outsource the production of lower voltage drives to a select few VFD manufacturers. It's crucial to choose a skilled integrator and develop a solid application specification. The integrator should understand how to effectively pair drives and motors to avoid compatibility issues. Brands like ABB, Siemens, Baldor, GE (Fanuc), and Yaskawa have been reliable choices for applications like yours. Ensure you have local support and that your maintenance electricians are trained to work with the specific drive. For a comprehensive and generic specification tool, consider using EPRI's ASD master, available through the US Department of Energy's Best Practices website. This tool guides you through creating a specification that is compatible with most drive manufacturers. Explore the Best Practices link, then Resources, and Software for more information. Best regards, Howard.
Absolutely, happy to help with your query! We've been using Siemens for our industrial automation needs for a while now, especially their SIMOTICS SD series motors. These are highly energy-efficient, low-vibration and reliable. Pairing these with their SINAMICS VFDs has been quite smooth for us. Also, consider ABB's ACS880 series VFDs with their Process Performance Motors. ABB tends to highlight their focus on sustainability, which can be a good fit if that aligns with your company's values. It's worthwhile to reach out to both for a quote and get a feel for their customer service as well. Remember, good support can make a world of difference in the long run.
Absolutely, I can recommend a few brands that my company has been using over the years for similar requirements. We've had great performance with Siemens and Baldor motors. Both companies have a wide range of models that fall within your HP and rpm specs. We also paired them with Yaskawa or ABB VFDs. In terms of new releases, Baldor's Above NEMA line is designed for longevity and has shown impressive energy efficiency. Always be sure to thoroughly inspect the suitability of the motor for your application. You might wanna look for energy efficiency, reliability, and motor life along with the cost.
