An inverter reduces energy consumption by efficiently regulating the speed of a motor or controlling the output of electrical devices. In traditional systems, motors or devices operate at fixed speeds, consuming a constant amount of energy regardless of the required output. However, with inverters, the speed or output can be adjusted according to the actual […]
With AC drives becoming more and more popular in the drive industry, larger horsepower drives are becoming more cost effective to convert from DC to AC. When we started in this industry in 1991, AC Vector motors, motors with encoders were very rare. Today AC Inverter-rated motors are stock to 350 HP. DC Motors were […]
When to Use VFD Motor Cable on Variable Frequency Drives
When discussing managing PID loops (Proportional, Integral, Derivative), there are three variables of control for performance optimization. There is an expression, “a little knowledge is dangerous”, this is definitely true when tuning PID loops. It is important to understand how PID loops operate to prevent damage to expensive equipment as well as improve performance. Knowing […]

GREEN ENERGY NEWSLETTER Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way! Most people on the planet would agree that we should utilize green energy since the technology is there and the resources are plentiful. But yet we hear stories on failed green energy companies which concerns us. The reality is that Mechanical Electrical Systems, Inc (MES) […]
Solar Energy How we all can use it today! We know today, that the sun which provides solar energy is simply our nearest star. Without it, life would not exist on our planet. We use the sun’s energy every day in many different ways. When we hang laundry outside to dry in the sun, we […]
Wind Energy Today How Mechanical Electrical Systems Can Make It Practical! Wind energy can be used today to do work. The kinetic energy of the wind can be changed into other forms of energy, either mechanical energy or electrical energy. When a boat lifts a sail, it is using wind energy to push it through […]
What is Biomass Energy How do we use it? To many people, the most familiar forms of renewable energy are the wind and the sun. Biomass energy, used since our ancestors learned the secret of fire, is the oldest source of renewable energy. Until recently, biomass energy supplied far more renewable electricity—or “biopower”—than wind and […]
