Variable Frequency Drive Speed Control

Description

Variable frequency drives, or VFDs, control the speed of AC induction motors. They are a type of adjustable speed drive and are becoming standard equipment for powering most AC induction motors. In industrial and automation settings, VFDs can provide strong control of motor speed, torque, or position.

Transcript

Variable-frequency drives, also known as VFDs, are affordable, reliable controllers with the ability to adjust the speed of induction motors for optimal performance. VFDs are becoming standard equipment for powering small to large motors in fans, pumps, compressors, drills, and many other applications. Unlike fixed speed controllers, which insta...
