VFD Variable Frequency Drive

Inverter ( ~ )
All of the above terms refer to electronic equipment
that primarily control the speed of an induction motor by
frequency and voltage control
Motor Speed
V/F Ratio
V/F ratio produced by a drive

controlling a 460V, 60Hz motor
To run the motor at full

speed, the drive outputs
460VAC @ 60Hz.
If the motor is to run at 50% speed, the output will be 230VAC
@30Hz.
The drive is capable of running the motor above its rated speed
(>60Hz). However, the output voltage cannot exceed the input
line voltage.

Major Parts of a VFD

Rectifier
Intermediate
Circuit
Inverter
Control. Ckt.
AC Line voltage is fed to the rectifier section where it is turned into pulsating
DC by the rectifier diodes
This pulsating DC is then filtered in the intermediate section into a smooth DC

voltage
This voltage is then fed to the inverter section where it is chopped up into an
AC voltage of the desired frequency.
The entire process is controlled and monitored by the control section

Excess voltage,
dissipated as heat
Also used to discharge
the capacitors when the
drive is shut down.
Inverter Section
Even if inverters work in

different ways, their
basic structure is always
the same. The main
components are
controlled semiconductors, placed in
pairs in three branches.
Pulse
-width Modulation(PWM)
Pulse-width
