2. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

   Small variable-frequency drive Chassis of above VFD (cover removed). A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, variable voltage variable frequency drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the ...

3. Vector control (motor) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_control_(motor)

   In vector control, an AC induction or synchronous motor is controlled under all operating conditions like a separately excited DC motor. [21] That is, the AC motor behaves like a DC motor in which the field flux linkage and armature flux linkage created by the respective field and armature (or torque component) currents are orthogonally aligned such that, when torque is controlled, the field ...

4. Direct torque control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_torque_control

   Thus it is not possible to control the motor if the output frequency of the variable frequency drive is zero. However, by careful design of the control system it is possible to have the minimum frequency in the range 0.5 Hz to 1 Hz that is enough to make possible to start an induction motor with full torque from a standstill situation. A ...

5. Motor drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_drive

   A variable frequency drive (VFD) or variable speed drive (VSD) describes the electronic portion of the system that controls the speed of the motor. More generally, the term drive, describes equipment used to control the speed of machinery. Many industrial processes such as assembly lines must operate at different speeds for different products.

6. Induction motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

   Barriers to adoption of VFDs due to cost and reliability considerations have been reduced considerably over the past three decades such that it is estimated that drive technology is adopted in as many as 30–40% of all newly installed motors. [42] Variable frequency drives implement the scalar or vector control of an induction motor.

7. Variable-speed air compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-speed_air_compressor

   If a variable speed drive compressor operates continuously at full speed, the switching losses of the frequency converter result in a lower energy efficiency than an otherwise identically sized fixed speed compressor. Where demand remains constant within 5–15% of the total free air delivery flow rate, dual-control compressors configured in a ...

8. Rotary phase converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_phase_converter

   The popularity of the Variable-frequency drive (VFD) has increased in the last decade, especially in the home-shop market. This is because of their relative low cost and ability to generate three-phase output from single phase input.

9. AC-to-AC converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC-to-AC_converter

   Generally, by employing matrix converters, the storage element in the DC-link is eliminated at the cost of a larger number of semiconductors. Matrix converters are often seen as a future concept for variable speed drives technology, but despite intensive research over the decades they have until now only achieved low industrial penetration.
