Types Of VFD Drives
There are 3 general types of VFD drives:
Eddy Current VFD Drives
DC (Direct Current) VFD Drives
AC (Alternating Current) VFD Drives
Each of these types of VFD drives can be divided into different variations. Every type of VFD drive…

AC Variable Frequency Drives
AC variable frequency drives are also known as VFDs, VSDs (variable speed drives), AFDs (adjustable speed drives), inverters, and micro drives. AC variable frequency drives are used in AC Servo Systems, Air Compressors, Conveyor Systems, Lathes,…

Energy Saving VFD
Over the past decade, energy saving VFD drives have allowed to become a cost efficient way to reduce power costs and increase system production efficiency. Approximately one third of the world's electrical energy is supplied by electric motors…

Eaton VFD Troubleshooting
Eaton VFD troubleshooting begins with technicians working with the VFD in production. Eaton VFD troubleshooting can be time consuming, so manufacturers tend to keep spare Eaton drives on hand for production lines that cannot afford downtime. When…

HVAC VFD Repair
HVAC VFD repair should be taken with extreme caution. HVAC VFD repair should only be performed by technicians who have required training and experience to work with electrical equipment. Precision Electric strongly recommends to consult an expert…

ABB DCS800 VFD
The practical requirements of a modern DC VFD are extremely diverse. A DC drive should be full of features and easy to use which sometimes, isn't a simple task. The challenge is to find an innovative solution which excels in both, and the solution,…

VFD Manufacturers
When choosing VFD manufacturers for motor speed control equipment in production, it is recommended by Precision Electric to choose VFD manufacturers who offer extensive technical support for their products. Precision Electric recommends using…

SVX9000 VFD
Eaton’s SVX9000 VFD (variable frequency drive) is the compact, modular solution to adjustable speed applications. The SVX9000 VFD enables a broad range of new application capabilities, and option cards allow the to configure the VFD to…

Shipping A VFD
Shipping a VFD (variable frequency drive) safely is important because electronic components can be easily damaged due to poor packaging. When shipping a VFD, the first step to safely package the VFD is to locate an appropriate size box…

Benefits of Using a Variable Speed Drive
Approximately one third of the world's electrical energy is supplied by electric motors in fixed-speed centrifugal pump, fan, and air compressor applications. This proves that significant energy efficiency improvement opportunities are available…

ABB Low Harmonic Drives
Harmonic distortion may disturb or damage sensitive equipment connected to the same circuit of a variable speed drive. Any distorted voltage and current waveform that deviates from the ideal waveform presents the potential to harm electronic…

Variable Frequency Drives for Wastewater
The flow and pressure of fans and pumps need to be controlled because water consumption varies during a day. The flow and pressure can be adjusted either electrically with variable speed drives or mechanically with fixed-speed solutions…
