Vacon AC drives reduce harmonics to non-issue
Vacon offers a new type of AC drive with an active front-end (active input bridge) technology that dramatically reduces the harmonic content in the power supply
Trend is one of the major Vacon co-operation partners and supplies the Vacon AC drives under the Trend brand.
The companies have jointly developed a specific interface option card for the NX drives.
For controlling and monitoring purposes, the NXNI option card gives the customer full interface between the Trend BMS (Building Management System), the NX drive and the building.
To complement this partnership, Trend have been selling the NX drives to the building services sector for four years.
A good proportion of these NX drives have been supplied into many of the major projects seen in the UK, where technical regulative and customer preference have won the business against strong competition.
These major projects include the Royals Business Park in London's Docklands, Broad Quay House in Bristol and the Manchester Museum.
The NX drive brings numerous benefits, among which energy savings are one of the most appreciated.
In the building automation segment, energy savings are largely the result of controlling the speed of air handling unit fans in strict accordance with heating and cooling demand, thus resulting in short payback times for the initial investment.
The NX drives are also essential in maintaining acceptable air quality and environmental conditions indoors.
