This document discusses control of electrical drives using variable frequency drives (VFDs). It explains how VFDs work by converting alternating current (AC) power to direct current (DC) power using a rectifier, and then converting the DC back to adjustable frequency AC power using an inverter to control motor speed. Diagrams show the block diagram of a VFD and sections including the converter, inverter, and control. The document presents equations showing the relationships between motor speed, frequency, poles and torque. It also describes simulation results showing voltage, current, speed-torque and total harmonic distortion waveforms. In conclusion, it states that VFDs can provide both speed control and energy savings for induction motors.
