Elevator drives & inverters

The safety and comfort of an elevator go hand in hand with smooth operation and accessibility for passengers. Upgrading the inverter can eliminate trip hazards between the car and the landing floor. Beyond comfort and safety, a new inverter offers improved energy efficiency.

Improve energy use for you, and enhanced performance and comfort for your passengers.

Silence

Both users and operators will enjoy the silence. The high-end technology of a Schindler inverter results in low noise emissions, providing enhanced quality of life in your building.

Comfort

Thanks to digital advancements, a new inverter can significantly improve the stopping accuracy of your elevator. This ensures easy access to the elevator for older adults, individuals with disabilities, or passengers pushing a stroller or shopping cart.

Flexibility

The frequency inverters can be mounted either in the machine room or on the hoistway wall, requiring minimal space. The sophisticated design of this component allows for easy handling during installation and maintenance.

Maintenance

Thanks to the latest advancements, the inverter, rather than mechanical brakes, brings the elevator to a stop. This helps reduces the wear and tear of the brake pads to extend the life of these components.


Economically and ecologically sound

A new Schindler inverter helps you to cut operational costs by reducing energy consumption. We have several types of inverters to match your existing equipment. The most energy efficient of these are regenerative inverters. While conventional inverters dissipate the brake energy on brake resistors – thus wasting valuable resources and heating the machine room – Schindler regenerative inverters return brake energy to the building’s electrical devices or into the grid. This minimizes energy consumption and reduces the cooling requirement in the machine room by up to 50%*.

The regenerative approach, and its low standby energy consumption, makes the whole system a beneficial solution for the building, the environment, and your bottom line.

* Depending on the configuration of your Schindler modernization solution and the existing installation.


A range of economically and ecologically sound inverters to meet your needs

The best type of inverter for your building depends heavily on the purpose and building type. Understanding the primary use for your equipment will help us determine which inverter model would be the most appropriate for your building.
