VFDS LLC - Carlow, Ireland

VFDS LLC is a leader among variable frequency drive suppliers. Our company concentrates on VFD design and VFD manufacture. VFDS LLC is ireland VFDS Company located in carlow. Our main focus is creating the highest quality products. The main products single phase to three phase VFD, three Phases to three Phase VFD and so on.

For industrial purpose the power is to be delivered for larger distance hence AC power supply is required to drive the motors. The rectifier in a VFD is used to convert incoming ac power into direct current(dc) power. There are 3 pair of rectifier combination is used for converting 3 phase AC into DC Normally 6,12 or 18 diodes will be used to serve this purpose. Rectifiers can be built using diodes, silicon controlled rectifiers(SCR), or transistors to rectify

power. After the power flows through the rectifiers it is stored on a dc bus. The dc bus contains capacitors to accept power from the rectifier and stores it and finally delivers that power through the inverter section.

A variable frequency drive controls alternating current torque and motor speed in electro-mechanical drive systems. In layman’s terms, it is an adjustable speed drive that regulates the frequency and voltage to the motor. You can find variable frequency drives, or VFDs, in everything from small appliances to giant compressors.

Variable frequency drive can be used to control the speed of a machine. There can be significant energy reduction if the machine is slowed down when it does not need to operate at full speed. For example, pumps operated so that they run at a speed dependent on the flow requirements will reduce the cavitation losses in the pump. If the pump is required to run at constant full speed, the addition of a VFD will actually waste another 5% of energy.

So, at full load, we may have a VFD at 97% and the motor at say 92% (depending on size and design) and the pump (or machine) may have an efficiency of say 80% or even less, so the wasted energy in the variable frequency drive is small, The wasted energy in the motor is also relatively small. The major losses are in the driven load that is why we target the driven load.
