Standard GH hoist regenerative inverter

Product catalog summary
Introduction
GH manufactures standardized hoists and cranes equipped with frequency inverters and regenerative modules, offering significant advantages to customers.
Advantages
  • Energy Savings: The regenerative modules allow energy produced by a motor retaining a load to be returned to the network, reducing electricity consumption.
  • Environmental Sustainability: By reusing energy, the system contributes to reducing the carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint.
  • Cost Savings: Rapid amortization of investment due to energy efficiency and reduced operational costs.
How It Works
  • The regenerative module connects to the DC bus of any frequency inverter and the network.
  • When the motor functions as a generator, energy is returned to the network instead of being dissipated as heat through braking resistors.
  • Multiple frequency inverters can be connected to a single module, eliminating the need for resistors in crane movements.
  • This method is more efficient than conventional braking, enhancing energy savings and sustainability.
Technical Specifications
  • Standard Drive: Incorporates regenerative options for enhanced performance.
  • AC Link and DC Bus Link: Facilitates the connection and energy transfer between components.
  • Altivar Regenerative Unit: A key component in the regenerative braking system.
Conclusion
GH Cranes' regenerative inverter technology offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution for hoist and crane operations, with ongoing product improvements.

Energy savings Environmental sustainability Customer cost savings Standard GH hoist REGENERATIVE inverter THE GH SOLUTION: • GH manufactures standardised hoists and cranes with drive control by means of frequency inverters. • The incorporation of regenerative modules gives our equipment great advantages for our customers. Standard drive ADVANTAGES • Energy savings. • Contribution to the sustainability of the environment. • Rapid amortization of the investment (ROI). Regen option HOW IT WORKS • The ATVR is a networked regenerative braking module which means that it returns to the network the energy produced by a motor when it retains a load. • This module is connected to the DC bus of any frequency inverter and to the network. • When the motor starts to function as a generator instead of dissipating the energy as braking resistors do, the equipment returns it to the network to be reused at other points of consumption. • Several frequency inverters can be connected at the same time with a single module, making it possible to eliminate the resistors for the 3 movements of the crane. • It is a more efficient way of braking than the conventional method, reducing the electricity consumption and the carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint of the facilities.
