It is just like a converter and works on bases of input of a signal which is normally a 24V which enables drive to modulate it's out put frequency which results in speed variation and consequentially save the power and allow user to meet the demand.......
it first converts AC to DC and DC to AC
it stands for Variable Frequency Drive. It uses either a local controller or an input signal to control the frequency or speed of a motor.
A variable frequency drive (VFD) refers to AC drives only and a variable speed drive (VSD) refers to either AC Drives or DC Drives. VFD's vary the speed of an AC motor by varying the frequency to the motor. VSD's referring to DC motors vary the speed by varying the voltage to the motor.
by using a frequency tuner in input we can change input frequency and in this way speed of dc motor will also vary. <<>> Varying the frequency (VFD) only works on AC motors.
A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a system for controlling the speed of a rotational or linear alternating current (AC) electric motor by controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor.[1][2][3] A variable frequency drive is a specific type of adjustable-speed drive. Variable-frequency drives are also known as adjustable-frequency drives (AFD), variable-speed drives (VSD), AC drives, microdrives or inverter drives.
Variable frequency Drive is not compatible with a DC Motor. VFD can be used only with AC motors, where frequency plays a key role in defining the speed of the motor.
an input variable is an input variable
Main function of Variable Frequency Drive is to be able to run the AC Induction motors at different speeds (by changing the frequency). The speed is a function of frequency. N - Speed. F - Frequency P - Pole N= ( 120 x F)/ P
Frequency drives are an adjustable-speed drive used for electro-mechanical drive systems. They control the motor speed and torque by varying motor input frequency and voltage.
Single phase variable frequency drives are commercially available. Building it by an individual is complicated.
A variable sped drive is sometimes also known as a variable frequency drive. These drives are used in electro-mechanical drive systems to control AC motor speed and torque.
motor can be control by using variable frequency drive
Use a variable Frequency Drive. Sold by ABB, Allen-Bradley, and many others.
