Watch on Eaton Video PortalWhat Is a Variable Frequency Drive?
A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is an electronic device that controls the speed and torque of an AC motor by varying the frequency and voltage of the power supplied to it. VFDs are used across industrial, commercial, and HVAC applications to improve process control, reduce mechanical stress, and deliver significant energy savings — often 20–50% on motor-driven loads.
