In the material handling industry, variable frequency drive controls are often used in electric hoists as well as in overhead cranes and lifting systems. Drives are designed around a microprocessor, which allows for the creation of programmable functions for specific applications.
Existing DC motor generator controlled elevator systems were inefficient, consuming 66kWh/day per lift. Three Magnetek brand Quattro® AC Elevator Drives, configured in permanent magnet motor control operating mode, were installed due to their low energy consumption.
By replacing antiquated elevator motor controls with Magnetek brand energy-saving Quattro DC adjustable speed drives with clean utility side harmonics and regenerative technology, the CityCenter Building elevators are today able to achieve 38 percent daily energy savings based on an average of 500 runs per day by each car.
