Selecting the appropriate VVVF inverter for your application involves considering factors such as motor power, control interface requirements, and desired functionality. FGI
In variable- torque applications suited for Volts-per-Hertz (V/Hz) drive control, AC motor characteristics require that the voltage magnitude of the inverter''s output to the motor be
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are specialized devices for controlling AC motor speed and torque by adjusting power frequency and voltage. VFDs support precise motor
Basic Principle: An AC induction motor''s speed is determined by the frequency of the AC power supply (along with the number of motor poles). A VFD leverages this fact: it varies the

With these parameters you tell the variable frequency drive the details of the motor you are using. This allows the drive to optimise control of the motor
Variable voltage variable frequency supply to the motor is obtained within the Inverter Control itself using suitable control based on the principles of PWM or PSM (phase shift modulation).
With these parameters you tell the variable frequency drive the details of the motor you are using. This allows the drive to optimise control of the motor and, more importantly, protect the motor.
