iVPD Datasheet

FlyBack Energy’s® M8130 intelligent Variable Power Drive (iVPD) is a patented power management solution that helps owners of commercial and industrial electrical motor driven systems to lower their energy cost. Our Magnetic Energy Recovery (MER) technology captures energy otherwise lost to heat and enables precise control of voltage and current levels in motors under any load condition. The iVPD also improves the motor start-up sequence performance.

In motor applications, the M8130 iVPD saves 4%-8% or more of energy typically lost to heat in conventional motor and control systems.

Motors can be powered by AC or DC with additional savings of 10-30% by reducing power in unloaded conditions, while maintaining power factor and rated speed.

FEATURES

  • Recovers energy currently wasted as heat in motor systems
  • Linear speed and torque control of single phase motors
  • Supplies only amount of energy required to maintain proper speed at any load condition
  • Controls motor start input current—soft start and stop capable
  • Manages a high power factor
  • Operates motors at optimum efficiency

 BENEFITS

  • Increases motor efficiency which extends motor life by reducing operating temperature
  • Provides ability to vary operating speed and maintains required torque
  • Reduces energy consumption in no-load or reduced load situations
  • Reduces start-up current peaks which lowers peak power draw
