AC Drive And VFD

Controls Instruments India offers AC Drive And VFD. AC drives, or technically known as the variable-frequency drive/VFD/Inverter Drives, are components of electrical system which are used to regulate the torque and motor speed. This component triggers the control through changing the voltage and motor input frequency corresponding to AC drives. The controls installed in this drive allow users to set the minimum and maximum motor speed that is appropriate for the user's processing needs. These drives can be found from common household appliances to large compressors and machineries used by vast processing plants. AC drives are powered through three sub-components: the AC motor, the main drive controller assembly and the driver operator interface. Each of these components has their specific role in the proper functioning of the variable-frequency drive. The AC motor is responsible for gathering and controlling magnetic force to power up the drive. This can be operated using a single or three-phase induction motor. Experts recommend the use of the three-phase induction motor since this can be used for a variety of functions as opposed to single motor. Users should keep in mind that the AC motor should be designed appropriately for the function they plan to use it with.
