Almost half the electric energy produced in Germany is used by industry. Electric drives are responsible for around two thirds of this power consumption.

When evaluating energy use, the entire drive system, comprising inverter, motor and gearbox, should always be considered as the total efficiency determines how much electric energy is required for a defined process. Work often focuses on increasing the efficiency of the electric motor although greater energy savings can in many cases be obtained by optimally adapting the drive to the operating process.

Saving energy is one of the biggest challenges we face today and in the future. Lenze is facing up to this responsibility. And we will show you how you can use drives to save energy.
