Regenerative Unit

Regenerative units or regenerative drives are very important elements to provide energy efficiency for elevator systems. As we know that elevators work with electric motors, and they consume a good amount of electric power. But when the cabin moves downwards or carries very few loads when going upwards, the elevator motor generates more energy than it consumes. And this energy turns into heat, which can wear out the system and also waste the energy. This is where the regenerative unit comes in.

The task of the regenerative unit is to protect elevator systems from heat while generating additional energy that the motor provides. These drives convert heat to reusable electric energy. As ISF, we provide top-quality regenerative drives.
