Complete product informationProduct description and supplied technical information
A VFD/Inverter is an electronic device that converts fixed-frequency AC power to variable-frequency AC output, allowing precise control of motor speed and torque. By adjusting the motor’s electrical input to match actual load requirements, VFDs eliminate energy waste, reduce mechanical stress, and enable intelligent automation.
Key Features of Schneider Altivar VFDs/Inverters
Energy Efficiency: Reduce energy consumption by 30–60% by avoiding fixed-speed operation.
Soft Start/Stop: Gradual acceleration/deceleration to prevent mechanical shocks and extend motor lifespan.
Dynamic Control: Built-in PID controllers, programmable logic, and multi-motor synchronization.
Smart Connectivity: IoT integration via EcoStruxure for real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and energy analytics.
Robust Protection: Safeguard motors from overloads, phase loss, voltage spikes, and overheating.
How VFDs/Inverters Work
Rectification: Convert incoming AC power to DC using a diode bridge.
Filtering: Stabilize DC voltage with capacitors.
Inversion: Use IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) to convert DC back to adjustable-frequency AC.
Control: Adjust frequency (Hz) and voltage (V) to regulate motor speed and torque.
