The new generation Static Frequency Converter (SFC) allows equipment operating at 60 Hz to be connected to a 50 Hz power grid, and equipment operating at 50 Hz to be connected to a 60 Hz grid.
In addition, SureWave SFC can stabilize frequency and voltage to ensure proper operation of sensitive equipment when the supply is not sufficiently regulated.
This can provide the end customer with potential savings of approximately USD 487,000 over the product’s 15-year lifespan. It also reduces CO₂ emissions by 76 tons compared to standard, less efficient Rotary Frequency Converter systems.
