Supplying & informing clients of the most advanced VFD redesign (Smart-D LV Drives) to enter the automation industry in 40 years.The engineering team at Smart-D have successfully abandoned the traditional IGBT matrix, and implemented significantly faster switching Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) Transistors.This means we can now reduce critical component sizes and bring complete line & load filtering into the VFD itself. Thus saving installation, saving space, greatly reducing copper (lowered carbon footprint).No more VFD harmonic distortions at any loading amount and at any speed.There are 12% to 15% reductions in audible pollution.Save on installation costs and avoid special vfd duty cables.Retain old motors that may not be vfd duty but still have insulations that satisfy a Megger.Class 1 Div II/Zone 2 motors no longer need to risk having a shaft brush or dual insulated bearings.There are more benefits to this giant leap forward in the VFD world, so please feel free to reach out and discuss.
