Can all 3 phase motors run on a VFD?
The answer is negative. In fact, not all three-phase motors can be speed controlled using frequency converters. Only the following three-phase motor types can use frequency converters:
1. Non-induction motors: such as DC motors, stepper motors, etc.
2. Induction motor: such as asynchronous motor, wound synchronous motor, etc.
3. Synchronous motor with variable frequency.
For synchronous motors with a fixed speed and asynchronous motors with a constant power electronic load on the stator, the frequency converter cannot be used for speed regulation.
Points to note when using the inverter
For three-phase motors that can use frequency converters, we need to pay attention to the following issues:
1. Choose a suitable frequency converter.
2. Make reasonable settings according to actual needs.
3. Special treatment is required for three-phase motors under special working conditions.
4. Maintenance of the three-phase motor is required.
In short, the frequency converter can be used to adjust the speed of a three-phase motor, but attention must be paid to selecting the appropriate three-phase motor type and the correct method of use.
