In Figure 3‐15, possible energy savings in lifts, using different technologies, can be seen. The<br />

use of a regenerative gearless VVVF drive can reduce the consumed energy to 19%, when<br />

compared to a conventional system, using a pole changing drive (two‐speed induction motor).<br />

3.4 Permanent Magnet Motors<br />

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) are rapidly becoming the leading motor<br />

technology within the lift market in Europe. It presents many advantages, such as a simplified<br />

mechanical system for the lift, improved comfort, reduced noise and vibration, and energy<br />

savings.<br />
