Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are essential components in modern industrial automation. They allow precise control of motor speed and torque, resulting in significant energy savings and improved process control.
VFDs work by converting AC power to DC, then inverting it back to AC at variable frequencies. This frequency variation directly controls motor speed.
Key benefits of VFD technology include:
- Energy savings up to 50%
- Soft starting reduces mechanical stress
- Precise speed control
- Improved process quality
- Reduced maintenance costs
