How do you select a VFD for a motor?

The most important consideration when choosing a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is to know the type of load that is being applied to the motor because it will determine the size and cost of the VFD.


What is DC Gear Motor?

Gear motors are used in a wide range of applications where lower shaft speed and higher torque output is needed. Learn how DC Motors and Gear Motors function.


Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Working Principle

Variable frequency drive, vfd working principle. VFD block diagram, vfd drive working principle. VFD is shorted for Variable Frequency Drive -- that's used to make an AC motor working in variable speed


Types of Variable Frequency Drives

To overcome the high power consumption in factories and to increase the efficiency, VFD was introduced four decades ago but the circuitry was not strong enough.


What is a Flow Meter

A flow meter is a device used to measure the volume or mass of a gas or liquid. Flowmeters are devices that measure the amount of liquid, gas or vapor that passes through them.
