Why should use a VFD?

1 - Reduce Energy Consumption and Energy Costs

If you have an application that does not need to be run at full speed, then you can cut down energy costs by controlling the motor with a variable frequency drive, which is one of the benefits of Variable Frequency Drives.

2 - Increase Production through Strict Process Control

By operating your motors at the most efficient speed for your application, fewer mistakes will occur, and thus, production levels will increase, which earns your company higher revenues. On conveyors and belts you eliminate jerks on start-up allowing high through put.

Find a VFD for your application now. 1 hp to 100 hp Variable Frequency Drive on ATO.com have Single Phase Output VFD, Single Phase to Three Phase VFD and Three Phase VFD can be choose.

Testing Automatic Voltage Stabilizer (140V to 270V AC)

https://www.ato.com/3-kva-automatic-voltage-stabilizer

A voltage stabilizer is a device that automatically adjusts the output voltage to stabilize it. In this video ATO uses a voltage regulator and multimeter to test the output voltage of the 3 kva voltage stabilizer which has 140V to 270V AC input, 220V AC output. After testing, we may see that the output voltage is within 220V ± 6%, which is in line with the standard.

Power Inverters are widely used to charge devices by converting DC power to AC power. In this video, ATO takes a 1000 watt pure sine wave power inverter (24V DC to 220V AC) as example, and test its input & output side with multimeter. To test further, ATO uses it to run a fan and charge a cell phone, and both works well.

Run a 3-phase motor on single phase power supply by VFD

https://www.ato.com/single-phase-to-three-phase-vfd

If you have a three phase motor but only single phase power supply. Using ATO single phase to three phase VFD can operate the three phase motor. ATO single phase to 3 phase variable frequency drives convert the single phase into a three phase, allowing the use of more efficient and less expensive three phase motors. Now you can start by following our video.

ATO 1 kVA to 100 kVA Isolation Transformers

Isolation transformers from ATO.com with different power capacity, 1 kVA to 100 kVA, increase and decrease alternating currents. They can be built to scale and generally handle any amount of voltage necessary, depending on how many times the coils are wound. Isolation transformers reduce electrical and electromagnetic interruptions from other power sources and devices and improve signal strength in radio and wireless communication systems.
