Variable Frequency Drive Basics -
A variable frequency drive adjusts the speed of an electric
motor by regulating the power being delivered. It provides
continuous control and matches motor speed to the specific
demands of the work that is being performed. Variable
frequency drives allow operators to fine-tune processes and
reduce costs for energy and equipment maintenance. They
work by subjecting the motor to high torque and current surges
up to 10 times the full-load current using single-speed drives.
The key to a successful application is understanding how to math
the variable frequency drive to the driven load. Variable
frequency drives are affordable and reliable, and having
flexibility of control, plus offering significant electrical
savings through reducing electric bills.

"Phase Converters"
- VFDs, also known as variable frequency drives can
be used to control motor only type of loads. They cannot be used
for any type of non-motor 3 phase load. Find out more about VFD
Phase Converters from the US Phase Converter Standards

Electric Motors - Electric motors convert electrical
energy into kinetic energy. Electric motors have rotating coils
of wire which are operated by the magnetic force exerted by a
magnetic field on an electric current.
