AC Drive (VFD) – Variable Frequency Drive
An AC Drive, also known as a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), is an essential device in industrial automation used to control the speed, torque, and direction of electric motors. By regulating the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor, AC drives optimize performance, reduce energy consumption, and extend the lifespan of machinery.
Whether in a simple fan or a complex conveyor system, AC drives play a crucial role in improving process control, energy efficiency, and machine reliability in industrial environments. They also help in achieving soft-start, precise control, and protection against overloading or electrical faults.
