What is the difference between AC Drive and VFD?
Answer Posted / mr. vinayak manohar hawal
AC drives control the speed of either an induction
motor or a synchronous motor by adjusting the frequency of
the power supplied to the motor.
AC drives are also known as adjustable speed drives
(ASD) or adjustable frequency drives (AFD) or variable
frequency drives (VFD) or variable speed drives (VSD) or
frequency converters (FC).
So I think that VFD is basicaly a method of AC drive
used for changing the speed of motor.

Please clarify, 1. Is it required to lay two runs of GI wire along with Armoured LT cable if it is laid between one big mains (63Amps TPN SDF) to small main (32A TPN SDF) with proper glanding termination? 2. If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from DB to CNC machine, is it required to run two runs of body earthing to the Machine from DB? 3.If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from Substation to Hangar, distance is approx. 100 mtrs, is it required to do earthing at shop area though the primary termination at substation is earthed through gland.

need to make a report. Need to choose a 3phase induction motor. Load conditions motor will operate in : Maximum Load: 30 Kw Speed: 2950 rpm Ambient temp: 20 cent Supply voltage: 440V Frequency: 50Hz need to look for the safety factor when choosing the motor, went through catalouge found a few, but dont know how to choose the safety factor allowing an extra load something above 30 KW to avoid any harm.
