| Products: Overview
Powerboss is unique in the way it dynamically adjusts power to a motor as its load changes. Powerboss constantly monitors the load on the motor and calculates the exact power required to do the job - with adjustment in less than 1/1OOth of a second.
Powerboss provides both immediate and long-term benefits including:
- Programmable Soft-Start and Soft-Stop
- Energy Optimization
- Power Factor Improvement
- Lower Maximum Demand
- Cooler Running
- Improved Motor Reliability
While Powerboss cannot save energy in every application, it can save from 5% to 40% in many applications, especially where:
- The motor cycles and has dwell time - e.g. molding machines and metal presses
- The equipment is throttled back or unloads periodically - e.g. pumps, compressors, fans
- The load changes due to the process - e.g. mixers, grinders, conveyors, escalators
