What is the Variable Frequency Drive

Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a type of motor controller that drives an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the electric motor. Other names for a VFD are variable speed drive, adjustable speed drive, adjustable frequency drive, AC drive, microdrive, and inverter. Frequency (or hertz) is directly related to the motor’s speed (RPMs). In other words, the faster […]

Variable Frequency Driven Theory and Troubleshooting

Variable Frequency Driven Theory (VFD), also referred to as Adjustable Speed Drives, is prominent in today’s workplace. They are used in elevator, water pump, high-volume air compressor applications and material-handling systems wherever speed and torque characteristics of AC motors are regulated. In Thomas Edison’s time, the DC motor was used to produce rotary motion from
