VFD? You guys are speaking pig latin lol. I have a lot of learning to do....
VFD = Variable Frequency Drive, which is used to control the speed of an electric motor, and can also be used to operate a three-phase machine on a one-phase power supply. I must confess that until recently I thought the only way to operate a three-phase machine was through the use of an RPC.
RPC = Rotary Phase Converter, which essentially is a motor that creates a three-phase circuit configuration and allows you to operate a three-phase machine on a one-phase power supply.
