A variable frequency drive (VFD) plays an important role in controlling the operation of an electrical motor. It helps you in controlling the speed of your motor by varying its frequency and voltage of the power supply.Controlling the speed of your motor with the help of a VFD helps you save energy and improve system […]
It may be tempting to size a variable frequency drive (VFD) based on horsepower alone. Did you know there are six other factors you should take into consideration to ensure that you specify the correct AC drive for your application? There are six factors you should consider when choosing a VFD: Full Load AmperageOverloadApplication TypeAltitudeTemperatureCarrier […]
The variable frequency drive (VFD) market is projected to reach USD 24.8 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.94% from 2016 to 2021 while the AC drives segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2016 to 2021 driven by growing need for energy efficiency, reduction in operating costs of any energy […]
Since the primary purpose of a VFD is precise SPEED CONTROL so that motor speeds can be ramped up and ramped down and the connected load can be maintained at the required speeds, which only utilizes the energy required. Knowing this, we wanted to breakdown the tangible and intangible benefits of installing a VFD. Controlled […]
HP & TORQUE RELATIONSHIP The relationship between the HP and torque produced by an electric motor can be a bit complicated. That relationship gets much more confusing when that motor is controlled by a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). Learn the VFD need to knows. In a linear situation, work is the product of the force […]
