Are you looking for a Variable Frequency & Adjustable Speed Drives (VFDs)? If so, this beginner’s shopping guide is designed to help you get started.
The first step in selecting the right VFD for your application is to determine the power requirements of the motor that will be driven by the drive. This includes the Horsepower rating, Voltage rating, Full Load Amps rating and frequency rating. Once you have the required motor data, you can use it to select the appropriate drive.
Next, decide on the type of drive that best suits your application. There are two main types of VFDs—open loop and closed loop. Open loop drives are simpler to use and require less maintenance, while closed loop drives provide more precise speed control and better regulation.
Once you’ve determined the type of drive you need, consider the features and options available. Features such as auto-tuning, dynamic braking and overload protection are important in many applications. Other options include input voltage range, output voltage range and frequency range.
Finally, you’ll need to decide on the size of the drive. The size of the drive depends on the motor’s power requirements and the features you choose. Make sure to select a drive that is rated for more than the motor’s full load amps and has the features you need.
With these steps in mind, you should be able to find the perfect Variable Frequency & Adjustable Speed Drive for your application. For more information, contact a qualified professional who can help you select the right drive for your needs.
