Complete fixed speed motor solutions by Integra
September 2013
Electrical Power & Protection
The Integra motor controller has been re-launched under the Suresense Technology banner, available locally from OEN Enterprises. Integra can make significant savings to the running costs associated with applications utilising AC induction motors.
Integra lowers energy bills, guarantees a return on investment and meets the new carbon quotas act. The Integra motor controller is unique as it dynamically adjusts power to a motor as its load changes. It constantly monitors the motor’s load and calculates the exact amount of power required at any time, reducing the amount of electricity used, increasing the life-span of motors, reducing maintenance requirements and reducing the amount of carbon dioxide produced at the point of generation.
Integra is able to shut motors down when they are not required. Its stored energy feature takes full advantage of the kinetic energy present in fly wheel applications and can decrease run time of the motor by as much as 30%. A variety of stopping methods are also featured on the unit – soft stop, plug braking and DC injection braking.
Integra is suitable for a wide variety of applications and results will vary depending on several parameters, but even a small saving can provide a 100% return on investment over time.
