Vad är en VFD (variabel frekvensomriktare) och var används den?
En frekvensomriktare (VFD), även kallad frekvensomriktare, frekvensomvandlare eller frekvensomriktare, är en elektronisk enhet som reglerar hastigheten och prestandan hos en elmotor genom att justera frekvensen och spänningen hos den ström som matas till den. Detta möjliggör smidig drift, förbättrad energieffektivitet och förbättrad kontroll över motorfunktionerna. Hur fungerar en VFD? En VFD omvandlar inkommande växelström till […]
