Keeping your equipment in motion with variable speed drives

Where there’s motion, there’s power. VSDs, or variable frequency drives (VFD), gradually accelerate motors from a standstill to prevent them starting instantly, which produces a large current. Therefore, as well as extending the motor’s service life, VSDs are critical for controlling speed and torque. This makes them ideal for use in cranes, elevators and other industrial applications, where they help prevent wear on the motor and deliver important energy savings.
