Variable Speed Drives

Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) are essential tools for cutting energy consumption without having to change the actual speed of motors. They work by adjusting the amount of power motors use, which helps save energy and reduce electricity costs. VSDs are especially useful in industries where large electric motors run constantly, such as manufacturing plants, sewage and irrigation pumps, paper machines, sawmill conveyors, and hospital ventilation systems. These drives improve operational efficiency and reduce wear and tear, which helps extend the lifespan of your equipment and minimises maintenance.

You'll find VSDs in a range of sizes to suit different motor requirements, making them incredibly flexible for many applications. VSDs go by several names, including adjustable speed drives, variable frequency drives (VFDs), AC drives, or inverter drives. Since being introduced to the market, VSDs have grown to become the preferred motor control solution, overtaking traditional DC motor controllers because they're more cost-effective and easier to maintain.
