VFD Drive

1. VFD-Variable Frequency Drive

2. What is a variable frequency drive? A variable frequency drive (VFD) is a type of motor controller that drives an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage of its power supply. The VFD also has the capacity to control ramp-up and ramp-down of the motor during start or stop, respectively.

4. Lower Power Demand on Start

5. Controlled Acceleration

6. Power conversion

7. Adjustable Operating Speed Adjustable Torque Limit Controlled Stopping

8. Energy Savings Example: A VFD controlling a pump motor that usually runs less than full speed can substantially reduce energy consumption over a motor running at constant speed for the same period. For a 25 horsepower motor running 23 hours per day (2 hours at 100% speed; 8 hours at 75%; 8 hours at 67%; and 5 hours at 50%) a variable-frequency drives can reduce use by 45%. At ₹7.00 per kilowatt hour, this saves 53,740 units energy & ₹3,76,180 annually. Kirloskar 25 hp 3PH 1440 RPM Foot Mounted Motor ₹ 49,988
