Variable Frequency Drive: Donald Kaulukukui

A variable frequency drive (VFD) controls the speed and torque of an AC electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage of the power supplied to the motor. A VFD draws power from the utility, converts it to DC through rectification, and then converts it back to a controllable AC waveform through inversion. VFDs help limit energy consumption by only providing the power needed based on the motor's load, unlike standard constant speed motors. Potential issues with VFDs include harmonic distortion, safety concerns, improper circuit design, and microcontroller programming errors. The goals of learning about VFDs are to generate single and three phase AC at variable frequencies, incorporate temperature control, and understand pulse width modulation, motor theory, and

What is a VFD?

Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)


A VFD can be used to control both the speed and
torque of a standard induction AC electric motor.
It varies both the frequency and amps of the AC
waveform being delivered to the motor saving
money in electricity.
Basic components of a VFD:

Input section, draws AC electric power from the


utility, Rectifier section, converts the AC into DC
power.

Inverter section, converts DC back into a


controllable AC waveform.

Purpose of the VFD

VFDs help to limit demand and electrical


consumption of motors by reducing the
amount of energy they consume.
Standard

motors are constant speed and when


they are energized they run at a 100% no
matter the load.
