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 ...

Motors account for at least half of the energy consumed in the U.S. Selecting the right control method for an application lets the motor run most efficiently while maximizing torque and overall ...

What does a simple cascaded conveyor system look like? How to integrate a conveyor system using only the digital capabilities of modern variable frequency drives (VFDs). Simplifying the automation ...

A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) regulates the speed of a 3-phase AC electric motor by controlling the frequency and voltage of the power it delivers to the motor. These devices, also known as ...

Variable frequency drives (VFDs) offer many benefits to reduce energy costs and extend the life of mechanical equipment essential for consistent building comfort. VFDs allow HVAC system fan and pump ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

Motor swap on my big belt grinder to install a 4.4Kw (5.9hp) three-phase motor controlled via VFD for speed controls. The dial indicates "surface feet per minutes" (SFPM), calculated from wheel ...

MEAN WELL's compact, fanless variable frequency drives (VFDs) are engineered for use with energy-efficient three-phase motors and designed to help industrial customers improve energy efficiency, ...
