AC Drives allow for full control interfacing to AC motors. These units regulate the voltage, frequency and power levels to the motor enabling control of the motors speed and torque. Typical applications for AC Drives are HVAC fan and blower control, Pump and conveyor speed control.

Selecting an AC drive requires an analysis of the application and selection should be done via an application specialist to avoid incorrect selection. If you are specifying an application where the motor is close it’s full load rating you should select a drive that is slightly bigger than the motor so that the drive runs cooler and gives you the ability to increase your motor size without you having to rewire your controls.
