Q2. Variable frequency drive working
Ans. 
Variable frequency drive (VFD) controls the speed of an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage of the power supplied to it.
• VFDs are commonly used in industrial applications to control the speed of pumps, fans, compressors, and other motor-driven equipment.

• They work by converting fixed frequency AC power to variable frequency AC power using semiconductor devices.

• VFDs can improve energy efficiency, reduce we...read more

Q3. Speed control of motor
Ans. 
Speed control of a motor is achieved by varying the voltage or frequency of the power supply.
• Speed control can be achieved by adjusting the voltage supplied to the motor.

• Alternatively, the frequency of the power supply can be varied to control the speed.

• Using a variable frequency drive (VFD) allows for precise control of motor speed.

• Feedback control systems can be implemented to maintain a constant speed under varying
