Saving energy with the NORD ECO service

According to experts, is 70 percent the share of the total energy consumption of all industries for electric drives, a significant cost factor as well as an optimisation and savings hidden potential.

The NORD ECO service by NORD DriveSystems helps companies to reveal this potential finding the most efficient drive solution for their application. A mobile inverter cabinet, connected between the motor and the power supply is devoted to a comprehensive collection of measurement values. The NORD ECO BOX consists of an energy measuring device with data logger function, current transformer and cable connections. Over a period of about two weeks, the box records data in real time about permanent loads, load peaks and irregular conditions.

NORD offers the ECO service for systems with both its own and third-party components. The measurements over time make it possible to create a load cycle for the system. This shows whether a system’s dimensioning corresponds to the requirements of the respective application. If a system is driven with the drive recommended by NORD, the company offers to carry out a remeasurement as part of a TCO analysis (Total Cost of Ownership), the most cost- and energy-efficient solution can then be determined.
