Engineering Information
SinaSave
Based on characteristic plant values, SinaSave calculates the
possible cost-saving potential for the specific application. A
payback time is obtained from the monthly overall saving of
the application and the purchase and installation costs for the
motor or frequency drive. This payback time is frequently just
a few months.
Function
SinaSave is designed to select an energy-efficient motor for
line operation or a frequency drive for variable-speed and
therefore energy-saving operation.
For line operation, the tool can calculate the cost savings as
well as the payback time for Siemens energy-saving motors,
class IE2 or NEMA Premium using three comparison cases:
In comparison to IE1 or EPAct motors, individually selected
and known motors or in comparison to known motors when
investigating a complete plant.
For drive operation, SinaSave takes into account all of the
necessary plant or system-specific parameters as well as the
values required for the process; these include, for example,
the flow rate for pumps, the specific density of the medium
being transported and the efficiency of the fluid flow
machines of the complete plant. Additional basic data that
the program requires includes the number of working days
and work shifts as well as the pumping profile over a day
and a year, which are decisive for the energy-saving impact.
Using the plant-specific data, the program selects the
optimum drive system, calculates the price of a suitable
frequency drive and determines the energy requirements
of the variable-speed drive system when compared to all of
the alternative concepts that could be possibly considered.
In addition to high-efficiency motors (IE2) SinaSave also
includes low-voltage and medium-voltage frequency drives,
which are predestined for pump and fan application.
Further, the motor side has been supplemented by a new
feature that takes into consideration the mechanical system.
High-torque motors have also been recently integrated.
User-friendly functions such as an automatic update function,
an up-to-date currency table and improved functions (e.g.
sending pdfs by e-mail) round-off the functionality of this
energy-saving tool.

Accessories
Cell lifter
The power cells of the ROBICON Perfect Harmony drives can
be replaced as a unit. To replace, the entire power cell must
be extracted from the drive and transported on a cell lifter.
