The AF-6 Series drives are variable speed drives that power motors at varying speeds, offering more energy-efficient alternatives to conventional systems that unnecessarily run at full speed throughout the day. AF-6 Series drives range from 1/3 to 1350HP, each with a host of built-in features that heighten performance, reduce energy consumption, simplify installation and help eliminate the need for many costly add-ons.

Environmental Benefits
GE's AF-6 Series Variable Speed Drives save energy by optimizing the motor speed to the level of output required by an application, such as an HVAC system. For example, by applying ten AF-600 FP Fan & Pump Drives each rated at 10 HP to an HVAC system operating for 12 hours a day at 60% speed, instead of applying mechanical devices to a system running at 100% speed, a customer could avoid approximately 163 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year on the U.S. grid, equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of approximately 32 cars on U.S. roads.
