A variable frequency drive (VFD’s) controls motor speed and torque, varying the power supplied to match the energy requirement of the driven equipment. The goal of VFD use is to optimize energy consumption in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. But do variable frequency drives reduce energy consumption? Yes, variable frequency drives do save energy! What’s…
Variable frequency drives (VFDs) adjust the frequency and voltage of your power supply to control the speed and torque of your AC motors. This has several benefits for the industrial, manufacturing, and processing sectors. A VFD matches the torque and speed of your electric motors to your requirements. It improves the energy use and overall…
If you’ve ever needed a custom industrial control panel built, you’ve no doubt been asked about certifications. Should it be certified? Doesn’t a certified shop mean it is automatically certified at time of purchase? Simple questions, but the answers have dramatic effect on cost, timing, and potentially safety.
