As HVAC equipment continues to improve and become more efficient, intelligent, and installer-friendly, so do many of the individual components within the equipment, including motors. And, as the popularity of variable-speed technology increases, many manufacturers are bringing new products to market to meet consumer and OEM demands. Here are a few of the latest HVAC motor-related products available on the market.
The VLT® DriveMotor from Danfoss is available in two variants: The VLT FCM106, a 0.55- to 7.5-kW drive that can be mounted on either an induction or permanent magnet motor as a factory package, and the VLT FCP106, which utilizes the same 4X drive and can be mounted on the customer’s choice of motor when purchased with an adaptor plate. A wall-mount kit allows the drive to be mounted separately from the motor if the customer so chooses.
