Schneider Variable Speed Drives
Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) are advanced devices designed to control and adjust the rotational speed of electric motors. These motors are essential for powering pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors, and other mechanical equipment used in buildings, manufacturing plants, and industrial facilities.
Among the various types of VSDs, the most common is the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), which is widely used to regulate AC motors in diverse applications. Both VSDs and VFDs work by adjusting the frequency and voltage supplied to a motor, enabling precise control over acceleration, speed changes, and deceleration.
By optimizing motor performance, VSDs and VFDs help reduce energy consumption when full motor power is not required—boosting operational efficiency and lowering costs.
Our portfolio includes VSDs, VFDs, and soft starters that provide fully tested, ready-to-connect motor control solutions, with power capacities up to 20 MW. From compact, pre-engineered units to complex, custom-engineered systems, our products are built to the highest quality standards to meet the demands of industrial processes, machinery, and building applications.
