Permanent Magnet VSD Air Compressors Explained

Permanent magnet variable speed drive compressors combine a high-efficiency motor with speed control to match air output to demand.

How PM VSD Works

The compressor varies motor speed in response to air demand, so it compresses only the air the plant needs at any moment.

Why Permanent Magnet Motors

Permanent magnet motors run more efficiently than induction motors, especially at partial load, cutting energy use further.

Where the Savings Come From

Most plants run at partial load much of the time, and a VSD compressor avoids the wasteful idle and blow-off of fixed-speed units.
