Variable Frequency Drive, 1 HP, 115VAC

variable frequency drives are used in electromechanical drive systems to control AC motor speed and torque by varying motor input frequency and voltage they are a core component and getting your application up and running it is important to select the proper drive for maximum application efficiency hi my name is Dave Anderson product manager for variable frequency drives at Galco industrial electronics today we're going to talk about how to size and select a variable frequency drive for your AC induction motor first I want to take a couple of moments and talk about a variable frequency drive and how they work this box represents a variable frequency drive or a variable speed drive those terms are used interchangeably in all cases they run a three-phase AC induction motor today we're going to have a three-phase 460 volt one horsepower motor the motor is determined by your load applicatio
