I am looking at replacing out the controls on an old machine. This machine has a mixing motor that is controlled from a regenerative AC drive. I have used many VFDs, but never a regenerative drive. From what I can tell a regenerative drive is used for energy savings. That is, as the motor slows it acts like a generator. Am I way off? The mixing motor in question is a fractional HP motor running at speeds from 5000-7000rpm or 70Hz-120Hz. My question is, Why a regenerative drive? Any explaination is appreciated.
Thanks
