Why do we need a Variable Frequency Drive

1
What is VFD - Variable Frequency What is VFD
Varaible Frequency Drive?
2

• A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is known as a
  variable-speed motor controller that controls the
  voltage and frequency supplied to motors.
• In the world of the industrial revolution where
  3D printing and nanotechnology is on top, it's
  important to consider the technological leap that
  is VFDs.

3

• VFDs are employed in a wide range of
  applications, from tiny appliances to mine mill
  drives and compressors. With great advancements
  in semiconductor switching devices, drive
  topologies, simulation and control approaches,
  control hardware and software, power electronics
  technology the cost and size of VFD become lower.
  Also, the performance of VFDs improves much more
  as compared to the previous four decades.

• The advantages of VFDs in our daily lives are
  numerous, including increased productivity, power
  factor, motor starting, reduced pressure on the
  electrical distribution system, and substantially
  increased energy saving.

5

• Electric motors in industrial applications
  utilize over 25 of the world's electrical
  energy, and the advent of the VFD saves a large
  amount of energy.
• VFDs Use Less Energy to Produce More Output!
  Increasing the Reliability of an incredible Tool!
• As with any technology, the more advanced it
  grows, the more sensitive it becomes as a
  result, problems with VFDs owing to power
  fluctuation issues are unavoidable.
• Harmonics, common-mode noise, and transients are
  the three most rampant power quality issues that
  need to be managed with VFDs.

6

• Many manufacturers offer simple surge protection
  to manage the transient issue. While this can
  often avert disastrous failures, many customers
  still experience mysterious lockups, downtime,
  and even surge protection failures.

There are three common types of VFDs available

• Current Source Inversion (CSI) Appropriate for
  signal processing and industrial power
  applications.
• Voltage Source Inversion (VSI) It has a poor
  power factor and is non-regenerative thus result
  in motor cogging below 6 Hz.
• Pulse-width modulation (PWM) Due to the best
  input power factor, it is most often used in
  industry.

Advantages of VFD

• Save energy
• Control closed loop
• Restrict initial current
• Smooth functioning
• Soaring power factor
• Smooth installation

Some of the professional tips to consider
identifying VFDs are

• Determine if VFD is correct for your application.
• Consider your aim to choose the drive.
• Select the right size for the load.
• Understand braking requirements.
• Find out I/O needs.
• Choose the perfect control mode.
• Know your control profile requirements.
• Know your choices for communication.
• Consider the installation and operating
  requirements.
• Be cautious of harmonics.

How Do You Choose the Best VFD?

• The variable frequency drives govern the start-up
  and slow-down speeds of electric motors and
  prevent overcurrent in the motor. VFD can improve
  the effectiveness of an AC motor used in
  different applications where speed control is
  significant, and they may even be required in
  some applications where energy conservation is a
  major concern. Determining the ideal VFD can be a
  daunting task as each application and system has
  different variables. However, some of the best
  VFDs are Lenze VFD, KEB VFD, and Siemens VFD you
  can choose easily for your need.

11
Conclusion

• Users should pick a variable frequency drive
  (VFD) that is appropriate for their needs.
  Remember to consider communication protocols and
  maintenance techniques when selecting a VFD since
  applications can be categorized as variable
  torque, constant torque, or constant horsepower.
