Description
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is investigating the market to provide a supplier of IE5 evaluated variable-speed electric motor drive systems suitable for continuous industrial operation at scientific sites, including MRC LMB. The purpose of this notice is to conduct preliminary market engagement to develop and inform the procurement strategy for these products. UKRI may invite suppliers to participate in further technical discussions if it is deemed necessary. The unit shall consist of the motor, power electronics, and control system necessary to deliver the performance outcomes as defined within the technical specification. The system must be treated as a single functional unit for the purposes of performance, compliance, and validation. The system shall: • Provide variable-speed operation with stable torque control from low speed to maximum rated speed • Operate directly from a standard low-voltage AC supply without reliance on upstream or downstream power-quality mitigation equipment • Maintain consistent electrical, mechanical, and acoustic behaviour across the full operating envelope • Be suitable for direct replacement of standard IEC induction motors within equivalent frame sizes We would be grateful if you could review the technical specification and let us know of any products ranges that you can supply that meet our requirements. Please only provide details of products that fully meet the attached specification. Suppliers can access the technical specification by registering their interest via the Atamis Portal.
