With three infeed concepts, the Sinamics drive family has the right solution for every application. Infeed of current without mains feedback as the most economical solution for exclusively motorized operation, standard solutions with uncontrolled infeed/feedback unit for occasional generator operation and controlled infeed/feedback unit for particularly high demands on system availability and mains quality. more

The expectation that fuel prices will increase is just one reason of many for the increasing use of fuel-saving variable-speed electric drives on ships and in the offshore sector. The range of applications for variable-speed electric drives extends from the main propeller drive, through bow and stern thruster drives, pumps, fans up to winches. more

Two thirds of the power consumption in industrial installations are caused by electrical drives. Using efficient drive technology can therefore result in substantial savings. more

Siemens has developed the Sinamics G150 converter especially for pumps, fans and turbo compressors. Sinamics G150 is the most compact and quietest converter in the standard switch cabinet at the moment. more

Today, drive technology represents approximately two thirds of the energy consumption of industry. It is especially pumps and fans which are top consumers of energy. Using state-of-the-art drive converter systems, this consumption can be reduced by more than one third. more

State-of-the-art AC drive converters are also replacing the variable-speed mechanical devices which have been used for a long time on pumps for pumping oil and gas in Latin America. more
