Electric motor-driven systems offer industry enormous potential for energy savings. Industry consumes about 40% of all electricity generated, and nearly 70% of this electrical energy is consumed by the millions of electrical motors installed worldwide. Every year, several more million electric motors are added. These motors are driving machines, compressors, fans, pumps, and conveyors in virtually all industrial sectors. Installing ABB drives can reduce energy costs and significantly contribute to improving process control and reliability, increasing production capacity, reducing maintenance costs, and lowering reactive power.
