Variable-frequency drives (vfd’s) go by a number of different names, such as variable-speed drives, adjustable-speed drives, and adjustable-frequency controllers. It doesn’t really matter what you ...

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 ...

Engineers know there is a problem with premature failure of motors controlled with A-S drives. Now there is a new magnet wire insulation that may solve the problem without any change in motor design.

MEAN WELL's compact, fanless variable frequency drives (VFDs) are engineered for use with energy-efficient three-phase motors and designed to help industrial customers improve energy efficiency ...

The growing adoption of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) is driven by their ability to enhance energy efficiency and optimize motor control across various industries. By providing precise control ...

When a motor drive goes down, production often grinds to a halt. How do you find and resolve the problem quickly? When that variable frequency drive (VFD) goes down, you're under pressure to get it ...

And so it is with the decision between soft starters and variable frequency drives (VFDs) to control a motor. Both technologies are viable choices—the decision depends on the application. To learn ...

He adds that the US National Electrical Manufacturers Association (Nema) has yet to recommend that new motors have bearing protection against damaging electrical discharges. Inverters, also known as ...
