A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a type of adjustable-speed drive used in electro-mechanical drive systems to control AC motor speed and torque by varying motor input frequency and voltage.
Electric motor systems are responsible for more than 65% of the power consumption in industry today. Optimizing motor control systems by installing or upgrading to VFDs can reduce energy consumption in your facility by as much as 70%. Additionally, the utilization of VFDs improves product quality, and reduces production costs.
To install a variable frequency drive you’ll need the following specifications – speed demand (in %), amps, RPM, control mode (manual or automatic), total three phrase (kW) or output volts.
We have a variety of compact and full featured microdrives in the market place. They’re easy to install and operate. Contact us for more information.
