Best Answer

I have used several hundred ABB drives. The term "VFD" is just another name for a "drive". It stands for Variable Frequency Drive. A "VFD System" is an electrical power control system, for example running a pump, in which the drive varies the speed of the pump motor. The drive does this electronically using pulse-width modulation to vary the average motor power frequency. When the motor sees 30 Hz instead of 60Hz, the motor runs 50% speed.

What is meant by VFD?

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.


Whether vfd is suitable for slip ring motors?

400hp slipring motor has been short circuited and connected to the 315kw variable frequency drive. The vfd has run continuously for 2 days without any problem.After a supply break the vfd couldnot resume but indicating a message of impedence short.


What is the difference between Variable Speed Drive and Variable Frequency Drive?

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.


How you can improve the starting toque of the motor through variable frequency drive?

set the respective parameter for torque in the VFD.
