Variable Frequency Drives are used in HVAC systems to control or vary the speed of Fans and Pumps. Over half of the electrical energy in a commercial building is used to move air via fans and water via pumps through the building to Heat and cool the building. Pumps and Fans are usually oversized or sized for the worse case conditions.
Without a Variable Frequency Drive they run full speed at all times using a tremendous amount of energy. The Variable Frequency Drive allows the Pump or Fan to run at different speeds depending on the need. This saves huge amounts of energy.
Due the Affinity Law for Fans and Pumps reducing the speed by 10% saves 21% in energy, reduce the speed by 20% = a 49% energy reduction

What variable affect the frequency in a xylophone?
The length of the [wooden] blocks.
How do you solve for variable fx in statistics?
It depends on whether fx denotes frequency times variable value or the probability generating function for the variable x.
What is the Differences between absolute frequency and relatative frequency?
The absolute frequency is the total amount of occurances of one variable. The relative frequency is the absolute frequency divided by the total amount of occurances of ALL variables.
Words that are related to statistics?
* Probability * Correlation * Validity * Reliability * Variable * Frequency distribution
What is the dependent variable when the independent variable is temperature?
It is an observable phenomenon that changes in response to temperature. For example, if we raise the temperature of a metal wire, it will begin to emit radiation which increases in frequency as the temperature increases. The radiation frequency is the dependent variable here.In any event, you the experimenter determine which variables you wish to study. If you believe that but one variable might depend on temperature, be aware that's nonsense!
Does VFD provide a solution to energy crisis?
Variable frequency drives help in conserving atleast 35% of the energy used by a motor!!! Variable frequency drives help in conserving atleast 35% of the energy used by a motor!!!
What are some of the leading brands in variable frequency drives?
Many companies sell variable frequency drives. ABB, GE, Eaton, Baldor, AC Tech, Honeywell, Toshiba, IDM, Hitachi, and Yaskawa are major brands that sell variable frequency drives.
What is meant by VFD?
A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a system for controlling the speed of a rotational or linear alternating current (AC) electric motor by controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor.[1][2][3] A variable frequency drive is a specific type of adjustable-speed drive. Variable-frequency drives are also known as adjustable-frequency drives (AFD), variable-speed drives (VSD), AC drives, microdrives or inverter drives.
What is the difference between Variable Speed Drive and Variable Frequency Drive?
A variable frequency drive (VFD) refers to AC drives only and a variable speed drive (VSD) refers to either AC Drives or DC Drives. VFD's vary the speed of an AC motor by varying the frequency to the motor. VSD's referring to DC motors vary the speed by varying the voltage to the motor.
What is the work of Variable Frequency Drives panel in Chiller Plant?
Vfd is used for maintaing the pressure of whole chiller line.
Where to find the best Variable frequency drives?
There are various types and make of variable frequency drives available commercially. You need to define your requirement first. Basis your requirement and budget you can choose most suitable one from market.
Can anyone tell me how to build single phase variable frequency drive?
Single phase variable frequency drives are commercially available. Building it by an individual is complicated.
Need of drives in motor?
Drives - I assume you are referring to Variable frequency Drives. The drives are useful when a motor needs to rotate at different speeds when in operation with out stopping it.
How do variable speed motors work?
A variable sped drive is sometimes also known as a variable frequency drive. These drives are used in electro-mechanical drive systems to control AC motor speed and torque.
What is a brake chopper?
It is an electrical device (and not a electronic device) which is used as a heating resistor to brake variable frequency drives (ac Drives) externally, (and nowhere related to changing any wave form).
How do you decide whether the variable frequency drive is compatible with my DC motor or not?
Variable frequency Drive is not compatible with a DC Motor. VFD can be used only with AC motors, where frequency plays a key role in defining the speed of the motor.
What does vvvf stand for?
Variable voltage variable frequency
