Inverter (DC AC)
An inverter is an electrical device that converts DC to AC power by switching the DC
input voltage in a pre-determined sequence so as to generate AC output voltage.
Applications: AC motor control, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), etc.

3.4 Variable-frequency drive (VFD)
A VFD is a system for controlling the rotational speed of an AC motor by controlling the
frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor.
A VFD system generally consists of an operator interface, a frequency controller and an
AC motor.
