VFD

Today you will learn about VFD.  Specifically, what a VFD is and when do we use it with automation and PLCs.

So what exactly is a VFD? Well, it stands for Variable Frequency Drive.

They are used for running an AC motor at variable speeds or let them ramp up their speed to give them a smooth startup.

Some people simply call them drives.
