For the right application, the benefits of going electric cannot be overstated: from
improved noise levels to no diesel engine emissions; and from improved efficiency to
simpler service. Why should you not go electric? As long as you have an electric
power source on your site, the electric compressor will always be the most efficient
solution.

Permanent magnet motor of the E-Air VSD – inside view Zoom in.

The beating heart of a E-Air VSD compressor is a variable speed drive, permanent
magnet motor, an electric motor that achieves unrivaled efficiency benefits and very
low noise levels.

The integrated permanent magnet motors are in-house Atlas Copco developments, ruggedized for outdoor applications. The motor has its windings potted in resin, so it’s completely closed off against water and dust (IP 66).
