Why Use the EVSS

The EVSS is ideal for applications which call for the motor control of a variable frequency drive but maintains the lower cost and ease of use of a magnetic starter. In addition, the EVSS is more energy-efficient and provides enhanced motor protection as compared to a magnetic starter.  

Whether your company is trying to reduce costs, operate more efficiently, or keep up with regulations, it’s never been more important to find manageable ways to save energy. Applications utilizing small HP motors will benefit from the increased functionality of variable speed control and reliability offered by the EVSS.
