What are Variable Speed Drivers, how do they work & their benefits? Variable Speed Drivers (VSDs) are electronic devices that control the speed and torque of an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to it. By precisely controlling the motor speed, VSDs allow the motor to run only at the required speed, optimising energy usage. This has significant benefits, including reduced energy consumption, lower operational costs, and extended equipment life. VSDs are widely used in various industries for applications like pumps, fans, and conveyors, where they improve efficiency and offer greater process control.
