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)

   Vector control, also called field-oriented control (FOC), is a variable-frequency drive (VFD) control method in which the stator currents of a three-phase AC or brushless DC electric motor are identified as two orthogonal components that can be visualized with a vector.

4. Induction motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

   Variable frequency drives implement the scalar or vector control of an induction motor. With scalar control, only the magnitude and frequency of the supply voltage are controlled without phase control (absent feedback by rotor position). Scalar control is suitable for application where the load is constant.

5. 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 ...

6. 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.

   Motor drives are found in pumps, blowers, and mill drives for textile, paper, cement and other such facilities. Drives may be used for power conversion and for motion control. [30] For AC motors, applications include variable-frequency drives, motor soft starters and excitation systems. [31]
