  2. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

    A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the input electricity. Depending on its topology, it controls the ...

  3. Constant speed drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_Speed_Drive

    A variable-speed constant-frequency (VSCF) generator can be used to provide AC power using an electronic tap converter. Variable Frequency Starter Generator (VFSG) used primarily on the Boeing 787 are both used for electric start and electric generation.

  4. Variable-frequency transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_transformer

    A variable-frequency transformer is a doubly fed electric machine resembling a vertical shaft hydroelectric generator with a three-phase wound rotor, connected by slip rings to one external power circuit. The stator is connected to the other. With no applied torque, the shaft rotates due to the difference in frequency between the networks ...

  5. Frequency changer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer

    Frequency changers are used for converting bulk AC power from one frequency to another, when two adjacent power grids operate at different utility frequency. A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a type of frequency changer used for speed control of AC motors such as used for pumps and fans. The speed of a synchronous or induction AC motor is ...

  6. Doubly fed electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_fed_electric_machine

    Doubly fed electric machines, also slip-ring generators, are electric motors or electric generators, where both the field magnet windings and armature windings are separately connected to equipment outside the machine. By feeding adjustable frequency AC power to the field windings, the magnetic field can be made to rotate, allowing variation in ...

  7. Motor drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_drive

    Motor drive. Motor drive means a system that includes a motor. An adjustable speed motor drive means a system that includes a motor that has multiple operating speeds. A variable speed motor drive is a system that includes a motor and is continuously variable in speed. If the motor is generating electrical energy rather than using it – this ...
