Pump applications
VFDs can regulate pump speed for pressure, flow or level control. Confirm motor current, pump curve, minimum speed and process requirements.
VFD Application Engineering
VFD for Pump
Energy-efficient pump control using variable frequency drives.
VFD Selection Considerations
Motor Data
Confirm motor kW or HP, rated current, rated voltage, frequency, RPM and motor type.
Load Requirement
Determine whether the application requires variable torque, constant torque, high starting torque or heavy-duty overload capacity.
Speed Range
Define minimum and maximum operating speed, acceleration time and deceleration requirements.
Control Method
Identify whether control is keypad based, analog, digital, PLC, Modbus, Ethernet or process-feedback based.
Environment
Consider ambient temperature, dust, moisture, altitude, enclosure rating and installation location.
Protection
Review overload, short circuit, phase loss, overvoltage, undervoltage, motor protection and emergency requirements.
