OEMs and hobbyists benefit from technology’s trickle-down effect. Figure 1. Many industrial applications and small machines with a motor and limited I/O requirements can benefit from using AC VFDs with ...

Everyone knows we’re big fans of displays that differ from the plain old flat-panel LCDs that seem to adorn most devices these days. It’s a bit boring when the front panel of your widget is the same ...

Increasingly common, variable frequency drives (VFDs) are used to control motor speed elevating the frequency of power pulses/sec fed to motors for faster Increasingly common, variable frequency ...

A lot of electronics wind up in landfills, and when [Playful Electronics] saw an old cash register heading for the dump, he decided to give its VFD display a new life as an Arduino peripheral. While ...

A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) regulates the speed of a 3-phase AC electric motor by controlling the frequency and voltage of the power it delivers to the motor. These devices, also known as ...

When an application requires changes in motor speeds to meet its objectives, a variable frequency drive (VFD) is often the first thing that comes to mind. This is for good reason—VFDs are typically ...
