Benefits:

• No Tuning required
• Higher inertia mismatch allowed
• Higher starting torque
• Smooth motion, even at extremely slow speeds
• Eliminates loss of synchronization
• Allows full use of motor's torque
• Reduced motor heating
• Minimizes impact of system resonance
• Able to regulate torque, even at a standstill
• Variable operating current, only uses the power that is required
