Hi,
I am planning to use a 5 horse power induction motor for hydraulic press.
Every 4 minutes the press will be switched ON and there will be load.
It is then switched off to replace the load.
I would like to know if using a variable frequency drive will lower the power consumption of the induction motor ?
Also the function of the press is just to press the load. So do i really need a variable frequency drive?
can i just use a ON , OFF switch to run the motor only when I need ?
