Energy Saving Inverters on Hydraulics

Electric motors driving hydraulic pumps are in common use in industry today. They provide motive power to machines using rams to move and hold machines in position. When the oil flow to the rams is not required, the hydraulic pump will continue to operate and the oil is then diverted around the circuit back to the tank by a pressure relief valve. This wastes energy and heats up the oil. In this case, inverters can…
