Midwest Power Solutions - Battery Maintenance and Power Savings Products

Powerboss

Our primary technology for improving the performance of electric motors is the 'Powerboss' - a range of variable torque drives from 3 hp to 1600 hp which lower motor operating temperatures and reduce energy consumption.

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

Good applications for Powerboss include:

Crushing, grinding, mixing, etc
