For all their energy savings and control benefits, when VFDs fail, they bring motor-driven industrial operations to a dead stop. To avoid such situations, savvy engineers ensure drive-system ...

A grouping of Mitsubishi Electric’s AC drives or variable frequency drives (VFDs). In the competitive landscape of machine design, engineers in food, pharmaceutical and manufacturing sectors face the ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has been monitoring the global variable frequency drives market since 2016 and the market is poised to grow by USD 5.11 billion during 2019-2023, progressing at a ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

Single- and three-phase alternating current (AC) motor speed can be controlled by controlling the frequency of the voltage coming to it. Motor speed has a lot to do with the capacity of refrigeration ...

When it comes to making decisions among various automation technologies to perform a task, the answer is rarely clear cut. Ultimately, the decision is often tied to the specifics of the application ...

When selecting the most efficient and cost-effective variable frequency drive (VFD), it’s essential to understand the specific considerations involved in your commercial venture. No two industrial ...

Variable speed drives (VFDs) can (and do) save energy in multiple ways. Of course, the degree of savings depends upon the application, the drive features, and how you have the drive set up. Generally, ...

When powering AC motors, the electrical supply can be at full power to run at full speed or at variable power to run at variable speed. Applications with varying loads benefit from the variable speed ...
