Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)
A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is an electrical device that controls the speed and torque of an AC electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage of its power supply. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and industrial engineers use VFDs to improve energy efficiency, reduce mechanical wear, and enable precise process control in equipment like pumps, fans, and conveyors. They are a core component of modern industrial automation and building energy management systems.
