What is frequency inverters?

Frequency inverters (also known as Variable Frequency Drives or VFDs) are electronic devices used to control the speed of AC induction motors by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor. They are commonly used in applications requiring adjustable speed control, such as pumps, fans, conveyors, and other industrial machinery, enabling energy savings and improved process control.
