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 ...
Before, fixed-speed on/off compressors required an inrush, or surge, current that was 4 to 6 times greater than the running current at startup, meaning a requirement of 4 to 6 times more solar panels or batteries. Inverter compressors start slowly and avoid this startup power which is needed each time a standard on/off compressor comes on.
A power inverter, inverter, or invertor is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). [1] The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. Inverters do the opposite of rectifiers which were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC.

The watt (symbol: W) is the unit of power or radiant flux in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 joule per second or 1 kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer .
Ultra-low-voltage processors (ULV processors) are a class of microprocessor that are deliberately underclocked to consume less power (typically 17 W or below), at the expense of performance. These processors are commonly used in subnotebooks , netbooks , ultraportables and embedded devices , where low heat dissipation and long battery life are ...
In Japan on the Tokaido, Sanyo and Kyushu Shinkansen lines (using 1,435 mm or 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in gauge). In South Korea on the Korail network. In Taiwan on the Taiwan High Speed Rail line (using 1,435 mm or 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in gauge) and on Taiwan Railway Administration's electrified lines (using 1,067 mm or 3 ft 6 in gauge).
Constant speed drive for Boeing 727, made by Sundstrand Corporation. A constant speed drive (CSD) also known as a constant speed generator, is a type of transmission that takes an input shaft rotating at a wide range of speeds, delivering this power to an output shaft that rotates at a constant speed, despite the varying input.
Speed is independent of the load over the operating range of the motor. Speed and position may be accurately controlled using open loop controls (e.g. stepper motors). Low-power applications include positioning machines, where high precision is required, and robot actuators.
