As a variable speed compressor, the motor speed adjusts automatically to the air demand. Meaning that a VSD unit can operate anywhere in the range between its minimum and maximum speed.

This flexibility in motor speed means that compared to fixed speed electric motors, the E-Air VSD range offers energy efficiency and lower amp-draw. The variable speed drive technology of the E-Air range removes the need to oversize your breaker and power source, as it does not have peak-current at start-up. Additionally, the max amperage draw can be adjusted by the operator. This allows for the unit to be used in more applications, but also provides protection for the other connected equipment.
