I have an apple packing line that runs on three phase. It has four 3/4 hp.
motors and a hoist (1/2 hp) I leave the three phase ilder on 12 hours a day seven days a week. I'm trying to trim my $600 monthly fall electric bill. (mostly 5hp cooler) I get 7 amps usage while none of the packing line is running. It would be nice to get rid of the motor hum also. My question, would a VFD work well to provide three phase for this packing line. Is standby power usage on a VFD near 0? I'd have to bring motors in with the existing control logic and wire VFD so it always powers the output legs. Karl |
