What Is a VFD, and How Does It Control Motor Speed?
A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) helps control AC motor speed by adjusting the frequency of its output supply.
But how does it work?
πΉ AC input
πΉ Rectifier converts AC to DC
πΉ DC link smooths the DC voltage
πΉ Inverter produces variable-frequency AC
πΉ The motor operates at the required speed within its operating limits
If you're an electrical student, technician, or maintenance engineer, understanding VFD fundamentals is essential for industrial electrical work.
π¬ Question: What is the main function of a VFDβmotor speed control or motor direction control?
