Schneider Electric Altivar Variable Speed Drives

  Schneider Electric Altivar Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) regulate the rotation speed of electric motors that power pumps, fans, and other mechanical components in buildings, plants, and factories. These drives are available in various configurations, with variable frequency drives (VFDs) being the most common type used to control AC motors. VSDs and VFDs vary the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor, enabling precise control of acceleration, speed changes, and deceleration. By reducing power consumption when full motor output is not required, these drives help improve overall system efficiency. Schneider Electric VSDs, VFDs, and soft starters provide a wide range of fully tested, ready-to-connect motor control solutions up to 20MW. From compact pre-engineered systems to custom-engineered complex solutions, these products are developed and manufactured to high-quality standards to meet the demanding needs of industrial processes, machines, and building applications.
