Abstract

Adjustable-speed drives have been a stalwart contributor to the success of many of the world’s industrial processes for years. Textile fiber manufacturing, steel mill rolling, automobile tire cord processing, and a myriad of other processes utilize adjustable-speed electric drives in the manufacturing process. High energy costs are now causing interest to be focused on adjustable-speed drives for pumps and fans.
