VIDAR: Designed for Cost Savings in Installation and Operation

VIDAR can reduce installation and energy costs, as well as CO2 emissions, improve system reliability and enhance precision control. Instead of relying on outdated fixed-speed motors and mechanical regulation, VIDAR adjusts dynamically to real-time demand, cutting energy use by up to 50% and helping facilities meet tough environmental and operational standards.

VIDAR is a new type of motor that embeds variable-speed intelligence directly into the motor to achieve new levels of performance, reliability, and simplicity in industrial applications involving pumps, fans, and fluid process systems.

VIDAR’s patented AC-Link technology replaces conventional AC-to-DC-to-AC VFD technology with a streamlined AC-to-AC approach.

VIDAR is designed to perform in the toughest environments. VIDAR features a high-efficiency synchronous reluctance magnet-assisted motor designed using IEEE-841 specifications, meets CSA Class 1 Division 2 for hazardous areas, and meets lEEE-519 power quality standards.
