Starters and variable speed drives for slip ring motors

Since 1984, Electrodrives has been a pioneer in Liquid Resistance Starters (LRS) and Slip Energy Recovery drives (SER drives) for slip ring motors.

Today, our large experience and cuting-edge designs make us the industry leader, offering the most sophisticated solutions on the market.

Why Slip Ring Motors? The Hidden Advantage

Slip ring motors, often overshadowed by their more common counterparts, have a number of advantages that make them the ideal choice in several industrial applications.

Superior Starting Capabilities: Unlike standard motors, slip ring motors offer high starting torque with low starting current. This means smoother starts, less stress on your system, and a longer lifespan for the motor.

Unmatched Energy Efficiency: Combining the motor with a Slip Energy Recovery drive (SER drive), the system reaches the highest efficiency achievable for electrical motors in variable speed applications, as the SER drive is capable of recovering the slip energy from the motor and effectively redirecting it back into the grid.

Durability in Harsh Conditions: Built to withstand tough environments, these motors are less susceptible to wear, and tear compared to others. This resilience translates to fewer downtime.
