Advantages of Variable Frequency Drive
- Energy Savings: The best advantages of Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is that we can save a lot of energy by using them. As they can control the speed of the motor as per our needs, which helps us.
- Speed Variations: As we know by using VFD we can control the speed and also can vary it according to us, by this we can control the motor according to our means and also not harm the motor by heavy use.
- Soft Starting: As we know that by the help of slow starting the mechanical stress is reduced on the motor which helps the motor to work efficiently which increases the life span of the motor.
- Extended Machine Life and Less Maintenance: As the motor starts softly and properly the machines life is increased due to which we get benefit that we don’t have to maintain the machine on daily basis. This reduces the workload of the operator.
- High Power Factor: The power factor is the measure of how we can deliver the electrical power efficiently. By using VFD the power factor is increased and by adjusting the phase between the voltage and current the unity is 1. Which increases the machines efficiency.
Variable Frequency Drive
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is the type of AC motor drive that controls the speed and the torque. It can control the speed by changing the frequency of the current. They can also control the speed and torque of the motor by changing the voltage. They are the motors of the modern world. Most industries are now shifting to use VFD as they are easy to use and can be controlled by software. VFDs are not only used in large-scale industries but also used in small-scale industries as well.
