What is an inverter - VFD?
An inverter, specifically a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), is a type of motor controller that varies the frequency and voltage supplied to an electric motor. Control of these elements allows for the modulation of motor speed. This overview of inverters will explore the key reasons for adjusting motor speed, delve into the benefits and integration of VFDs, and cover their common applications. We'll compare them to other motor controllers, discuss some special features of leading VFD manufacturer, Invertek Drives, and go through the main advantages of using a VFD. Lastly, we'll talk about power conversion, the difference between VFDs, AC Drives, and Variable Speed Drives, and the different types of VFDs.
