What is VFD?WHAT IS IT'S WORKING PRINCIPLE?

Question

Accepted Answer

VFD stands for Variable Frequency Drive. It is a type of motor controller that drives an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor.

VFD controls the speed and torque of an AC motor by varying the frequency of the electrical supply to the motor.
It converts fixed frequency and voltage AC power to variable frequency and voltage output.
VFDs are commonly used in HVAC systems, pumps, conveyors, and other industrial applications.
The working principle involves rectifying AC power to DC, then using pulse-width modulation to generate a variable frequency AC output.
VFDs help in energy savings, precise control of motor speed, and reducing mechanical stress on equipment.
