Why Variable Speed Drives Deliver Outsized Returns
The physics behind VSD savings are not linear. Small speed reductions produce dramatically large energy savings.
Flow Tracks Speed
In centrifugal systems such as pumps and fans, flow output is directly proportional to shaft speed. Halving the speed halves the flow delivered to the system.
Pressure Scales with the Square
Head pressure in a system varies with the square of shaft speed. Reducing speed to 80% cuts pressure to just 64% of the original value.
Power Drops by the Cube
This is where the real savings live. Power consumption follows the cube of speed. Running a fan at 75% speed uses only about 42% of full-speed power, slashing your electricity bill by more than half.
Real-World Drive Efficiency
No power conversion is lossless. Modern Allen Bradley PowerFlex drives typically operate at 96-98% efficiency. Our estimator applies a conservative 97% factor so your projected savings are realistic and achievable.
