An optimum solution for low rating MV motors (<1 MW)

Need for HLH Soultion

# There exists large installed base of motors of ratings 200KW & above in MV range in major industries # Majority of these motors are utilised for fan & pump applications having good energy savings potential # Big requirement of retrofitting these applications with VFD to achieve energy savings # Offering MV drives for such low ratings is very uneconomical

H-L-H is ideal cost effective solution for such retrofit cases
