What is a variable frequency drive?

Also known as: Frequency Converter (FC), Variable SpeedDrive (VSD), AC Drive, Inverter etc.

A squirrel cage motor is

the typically used

electrical motor in

industry and public

engineering sector

Stepless control

for the speed of a

squirrel cagemotor

Smooth and

Accurate control

Improved control over

the system

Cost reductions through

Energy savings and

improved quality


5/31


Why use variable frequency drives?

Saves energy through fan and pump speed control

-up to 70% energy savings in pump and fan applications

e.g. 32% average savings in a ventilation system Payback period of1 year

Decreases mechanical stress due to pressure spikeswith direct on-line start & stop

- VFDs creates a smooth start whichreduces the pressure spikesthat reduce system lifetime

Reduces the starting current of the motor

- VFDs minimize the starting current of the motor, which meanselectrical installation investments can be lower

Save energy, inc rease system l i fet ime, save on in vestm ents

Features:

- High Switching Frequency Refers to frequency of the IGBT switches in

operation

Higher frequency less noise from the motor

Best solution without de-rating

Honeywell offers 6kHz (NXL) and 10 kHz (NXS)

compared to 4kHz (Danfoss)- Temperature-controlled fans

Fan stops operating when not needed

Benefits:

- Lowest Audible Motor Noise- Reduced Noise caused by the VFD itself- Optimized energy consumption of the drive

Highest Sw itching Frequency = Low est Noise




Features:

- Easy- installable credit-card size option boards Wide selection of control inputs and outputs

Analog I/Os, relays, digital inputs, thermistor inputs

Wide selection of field buses

Benefits:- Flexible & upgradeable in the field
