    2. 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.

    3. 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. Soft Start Only use energy you need
