Comparison of the different levels of system efficiency

Drive system efficiency level in % The entire product line of direct driven fans by Nicotra Gebhardt is now available with the particularly energy efcient brushless DC technology. These innovative motors achieve the highest efciency and therefore cost less to operate than traditional AC motors in every application. Brushless DC drive AC drive (frequency converter) AC drive (transformer control)

Fit for the future with brushless DCs

The EUs ErP Directive prescribes minimum levels of efciency for electric motors. These levels of efciency will be steadily increased in the coming years. Motors with brushless DC drives already exceed the requirements that will become compulsory in 2015 and 2017.

Speed range The brushlessDC motor operates without slip losses and thus consumes significantly less power than conventional AC motors. Important: This applies for all speeds, i.e. even in partial-load operation! The brushlessDC motor therefore uses less power than the AC motor under all operating conditions and has a significantly higher level of drive system (motor and control) efficiency.

Up to 50% of the power consumption of a fan can be saved (depending on the operating environment) by the use of brushlessDC motors in place of AC motors.
