A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) regulates the speed of a 3-phase AC electric motor by controlling the frequency and voltage of the power it delivers to the motor. These devices, also known as ...

More and more often, variable frequency drives (VFDs) are used for control of fans and compressors in HVACR systems. The benefits are well documented and industry acceptance is such that most electric ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

Watch a major upgrade: a motor swap on a big belt grinder to install a powerful 4.4kW (5.9hp) three-phase motor with VFD speed control. Learn about SFPM calculations and how belt grit choices affect ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

Motor swap on my big belt grinder to install a 4.4Kw (5.9hp) three-phase motor controlled via VFD for speed controls. The dial indicates "surface feet per minutes" (SFPM), calculated from wheel ...

An interview with Southwire Company’s Steve Wetzel highlights how proper variable frequency drive (VFD) cable termination ...

Not all inverter-duty motors are built the same—do you know how insulation quality impacts performance and lifespan?

It shows the vector motor control and one the of best sensorless vector control frequency inverters. Vector control is one of the most popular electrical motor control modes in electric industry that ...
