ZERO-MAINTENANCE INDUCTIVE ABSORBERS

Significantly increase the service life of your motor bearings by reducing damage with CoolBLUE® Inductive Absorbers. Protect your motors to prevent costly plant production downtime.

Introduction

Maintaining the efficiency and longevity of motor bearings is crucial for minimizing downtime and reducing maintenance costs. CoolBLUE inductive absorbers offer an innovative solution by significantly cutting down high-frequency currents that damage motor bearings. We’ll explore how CoolBLUE® technology works, its benefits, and why it’s so effective for industries relying on Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) systems.

What is CoolBLUE®?

CoolBLUE® is a common mode suppression choke that absorbs high-frequency currents produced by VFD systems. Made from nanocrystalline material NANOPERM®,

CoolBLUE® ensures the longevity of motor bearings by reducing these damaging currents by 65-80%. Unlike traditional shaft grounding devices, CoolBLUE® provides a zero-maintenance, long-lasting solution.

Benefits of Using CoolBLUE®

1. Increased Service Life of Bearings

CoolBLUE® technology helps extend motor bearings’ service life by preventing frosting, lubrication breakdown, and electrical discharge caused by high-frequency currents.

2. Cost-Effective

With a one-time installation that takes just minutes, CoolBLUE® reduces the need for frequent maintenance and replacements, thus saving time and money.

3. Versatility

Suitable for a wide range of applications including HVAC, paper manufacturing, automotive, renewable energy, and more, CoolBLUE® is adaptable to various industrial needs.

How CoolBLUE® Works

CoolBLUE® absorbers function by slowing down high-frequency currents to safe levels, thus preventing them from reaching the motor bearings. This non-mechanical method effectively ensures that the absorbers do not wear out over time, providing a reliable long-term solution.
