Dedicated drive for

highest energy efficiency
and reliability
The VLT® HVAC drive is a
dedicated, globally
supported drive that
combines flexibility and
efficiency in a package
designed to minimize total
system and lifecycle costs in
HVAC applications.
Designed to provide the highest
efficiency solution with both
asynchronous and permanent magnet
motors from all major suppliers, the

Impact on energy savings

One year’s energy savings from our
annual production of VLT® drives
will save the energy equivalent
to the energy production from a
major power plant. Better process
control at the same time improves
product quality and reduces waste
and wear on equipment.
