VIDAR embeds variable-speed intelligence directly into the motor, eliminating inefficient, failure-prone systems that rely on throttled valves and dampers. Unlike traditional VFD and motor setups, it requires no special inverter-duty wire, additional enclosures, or extra floor space.
One-to-one replacement
VIDAR installs seamlessly into the footprint of a conventional NEMA motor.
Unmatched efficiency
VIDAR uses only the energy required for the job, cutting energy consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 50%.
Precision control
VIDAR adapts to variable demands, giving plant managers unparalleled flexibility.
Customer-centric design
From easy installation to modular repairs, VIDAR was built for the people who use it.
Durability and reliability
Designed to thrive in harsh outdoor industrial environments, VIDAR meets stringent industrial reliability and safety standards.
