Figure 3‐19. Possible configurations of lift machine rooms when using PMSM<br />

Even though the present asynchronous VVVF gearless technology is very energy efficient, the<br />

motor and drive efficiencies are usually less than 90%, for lower powers. Figure 3‐20 shows the<br />

much higher efficiency levels of PM motors when compared to induction motors fed by<br />

inverters.<br />

The difference is even more noticeable as the speed decreases, as it can be seen in Figure<br />
