**Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s)**

What is Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s)?

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are a type of motor controller that drives an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the electric motor. Other names for VFD are variable speed drives, adjustable speed drives, adjustable frequency drives, AC drives, micro drives, and inverter drives. VFDs are used in applications ranging from small appliances to large compressors. About 25% of the world's electrical energy is used by electric motors in industrial applications. VFDs can improve energy efficiency. Over the last three decades, advances in power electronics have reduced the cost and size and have increased the performance of VFDs, and it has become cost-effective to use VFDs even when the need for speed control is modest.
