Interact Analysis says silicon carbide is redrawing the low-voltage drive map. Here’s why SmartD already ships a full-SiC Clean Power VFD — while incumbents evaluate.
One VFD for multiple motors: Simplicity Has a Price Why Run Multiple Motors on One VFD? At first, the idea looks obvious. Several motors must run at the same speed. So why install several variable frequency drives when you can run multiple motors on one VFD? One drive means fewer components, less wiring, less panel […]
For years, harmonic distortion was treated as a cost of doing business — something you managed with an external filter cabinet bolted on after the fact. A new analysis from Interact Analysis suggests that assumption is quietly expiring, and data centers are the reason. The demand signal According to Interact Analysis (Rising demand for low-harmonic […]
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MONTREAL, CANADA — April 2ⁿᵈ, 2026 — SmartD Technologies, a pioneer in Silicon Carbide (SiC)-based variable frequency drives, today announced the successful closing of its latest financing round totaling $15 million CAD. This round was co-led by existing strategic investor Hammond Power Solutions (HPS) and new institutional shareholder Desjardins Capital. All existing […]
Why SCCR Cannot Be Reduced to a Breaker Rating Short Circuit Current Rating is often treated like a label to check and move on. That is a mistake. One of the biggest sources of confusion in the field is failing to separate two very different ideas: the ability to interrupt and the ability to withstand. […]

Using a 40HP 600V Fan or Centrifugal Pump Application Switching a 40HP, 600V fan from a Direct-On-Line (DOL) starter to a Variable Sine Wave Drive (VFS – the latest advancement in VFD Technology): Running at 55Hz instead of 60Hz typically produces substantial cost savings on the monthly electrical charges due to the affinity law for […]
In the fast-paced world of industrial engineering and project design, the difference between a smooth execution and a delayed project often comes down to one thing: the quality of the initial specifications. We just released of our newly updated Consulting & Engineering Specifications document. Re-engineered based on feedback from the field and the latest industry […]
