Invertek Drives has introduced the Optidrive E4 – the latest addition to its Optidrive family of variable frequency drives (VFDs).

Adjustable speed drives (ASDs) or variable speed drives (VSDs), also called variable frequency drives (VFDs), typically control a motor's velocity or torque output. Most adjustable frequency drives ...

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 ...

This strategic collaboration between the companies focuses on integrating variable frequency drive capabilities with advanced ...

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 ...

A recent trend in nuclear power plant upgrades has been the replacement of the motor-generator (MG) sets that drive the reactor circulating pumps with variable-frequency drives (VFD). Siemens’ first ...

"The Critical Role of Variable Frequency Drives in Advancing Process Automation and Industry 4.0" The emphasis on efficiency, cost reduction, and increased productivity becomes more pronounced as the ...

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 ...

When Tesla first introduced the 3-phase alternating current (AC) induction motor in 1888, he knew that his invention was more efficient and reliable than Edison's direct current (DC) motor. However, ...
