Standard GH hoist regenerative inverter

Energy savings, environmental sustainability and customer cost savings

THE GH SOLUTION:

• GH manufactures standardised hoists and cranes with drive control by means of frequency inverters.
• The incorporation of regenerative modules gives our equipment great advantages for our customers.

ADVANTAGES

• Energy savings.
• Contribution to the sustainability of the environment.
• Rapid amortization of the investment (ROI).

HOW IT WORKS

• The ATVR is a networked regenerative braking module which means that it returns to the network the energy produced by a motor when it retains a load.
• This module is connected to the DC bus of any frequency inverter and to the network.
• When the motor starts to function as a generator instead of dissipating the energy as braking resistors do, the equipment returns it to the network to be reused at other points of consumption.
• Several frequency inverters can be connected at the same time with a single module, making it possible to eliminate the resistors for the 3 movements of the crane.
• It is a more efficient way of braking than the conventional method, reducing the electricity consumption and the carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint of the facilities.
