Understanding Variable Frequency Drives

A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is an advanced electronic device designed to control the speed, torque, and direction of an AC electric motor by adjusting the frequency and voltage of the power supplied to it. VFDs are widely used in industrial and marine applications to enhance efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and provide precise motor control.
