Objective
The main objective of the VFD is to vary
the speed of the motor while providing
the closest approximation to a sine wave
for current (while pulsing D C voltage to
the motor).

AC Line input section
The voltage on an alternating current (ac)
power supply rises and falls in the pattern
of a sine wave.
Voltage is +ve ,Current in one direction
Voltage is -ve ,Current in opposite
direction
Results in large amount of energy.

Input Rectifier Section
convert incoming ac power into direct
current (dc) power.
Two rectifiers are use for each single
phase.
Generally three phase rectifier is use to
handle large power in industries

DC bus Section
It contains capacitors to accept power
from the rectifier,
store it, and later deliver that power
through the inverter section.
Sometimes we use chokes with capacitor
mainly to reduce
1) harmonic noise (interference) &
2) temporary loss of power.

Inverter
The inverter contains transistors that deliver
power to the motor. The “Insulated Gate
Bipolar Transistor” (IGBT) is a common
choice in modern VFDs.
