For high-inertia or high-overload applications, the VFD is typically sized one frame above the motor.

Australian industries that drive most VFD demand include water and wastewater (pump stations and treatment plant aerators where flow varies by demand), HVAC and building services (fan and pump speed matching to load delivers the headline energy savings), food and beverage processing (conveyor speed control, mixing and pumping with sanitation washdown environments), mining and resources (dust extraction fans, slurry pumps, conveyors with high-inertia starts), and general manufacturing (process pumps, fans and compressors). The compelling case is energy — for centrifugal pumps and fans driven by an unchanging line-frequency motor running into a throttling valve or damper, fitting a VFD and modulating motor speed instead can cut the input power by 30–50% at typical part-load operating points. The mechanical wear reduction on belts, couplings and bearings from soft starting is the second pay-back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAustralian electrical standards that apply to VFD installations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVFDs feed pulse-width-modulated voltage to the motor and draw harmonic currents from the supply, so they sit in a regulated installation envelope. AS\/NZS 3000 (the Wiring Rules) is the head standard for any electrical installation in Australia and applies to the VFD's incoming supply, switchgear, motor cable, earthing and protection. AS\/NZS 3008 covers cable selection — VFD output cables need to be sized for thermal rating and screened against radiated emission depending on cable run length. AS\/NZS CISPR 11 covers electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) emissions for industrial drives; most quality VFDs in our range carry CISPR 11 Class A or Class B EMC filtering built in to comply with this. AS\/NZS 61800.3 covers adjustable-speed electrical power drive systems specifically and is the standard a switchboard builder will reference when integrating the drive. Installation work on a VFD is electrical work — only a licensed electrician can connect supply and motor cables, configure the drive parameters, and commission the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to specify a VFD — kW, voltage, IP rating, control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing is straightforward when you know the motor data plate. Match the VFD continuous kW rating to the motor shaft kW for variable-torque loads (pumps, fans) and one size up for constant-torque loads (conveyors, mixers, hoists) where start current and overload demand are higher. Supply voltage choices are single-phase 240V input (small drives up to about 2.2kW for residential and light commercial), three-phase 415V input (the default for any industrial drive above 2.2kW), and 690V for large mining and heavy industry drives. Enclosure IP rating drives the installation cost — IP20 drives sit in a switchboard enclosure where the panel provides the environmental seal, IP55 drives wall-mount in protected industrial spaces, and IP66 drives mount in washdown, dusty or outdoor environments without a separate enclosure (the right choice for food and beverage washdown, dust extraction fans and external pump stations because they eliminate the panel cost and the heat-soak issue).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControl interface choices include local keypad (built into the drive face), digital inputs from external switches and PLC, analogue inputs from process transmitters (4–20mA pressure transducer driving a constant-pressure pump system is the classic example), and fieldbus communication (Modbus RTU is the universal industrial standard; Ethernet\/IP, Profinet and BACnet sit above for HVAC and process integration). Specify the communication protocol up-front — adding it later means a different drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInvertek VFD range at AIMS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAIMS Industrial supplies the \u003cstrong\u003eInvertek Optidrive\u003c\/strong\u003e range — UK-designed drives manufactured to international quality standards with strong Australian technical support and parts availability. The Optidrive E3, P2 and TECDriveAC families cover the practical industrial range from sub-1kW single-phase washdown pumps through to 250kW+ three-phase process drives. Why Invertek over the alternatives: the configuration interface is straightforward (the drives can be set up in under five minutes from the keypad without specialist software), the EMC filtering is built in across the range, the IP66 outdoor and washdown variants are price-competitive against IP20 plus separate enclosure, and the Australian parts pipeline means a failed drive can be replaced or repaired without waiting for international shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecific Invertek families AIMS stocks: \u003cstrong\u003eOptidrive E3\u003c\/strong\u003e — compact general-purpose drives for fans, pumps and conveyors up to 22kW; \u003cstrong\u003eOptidrive P2\u003c\/strong\u003e — premium drives with advanced control (sensorless vector and closed-loop options) for demanding applications up to 250kW; \u003cstrong\u003eTECDriveAC\u003c\/strong\u003e — economy series for OEM and budget-constrained applications where the load is predictable; \u003cstrong\u003eIP66 outdoor\u003c\/strong\u003e — fully sealed variants for pump stations, irrigation, washdown and outdoor installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVFDs pair with what else at AIMS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA VFD is half of a drive package.

For a centrifugal pump running at fixed full-load output into an open system 24\/7, a VFD adds the drive's own conversion losses (typically 2–5%) and saves nothing. For a pump that throttles or runs intermittently, the cube law on centrifugal output means that a small speed reduction delivers a large energy reduction — running at 80% speed delivers about 51% of the input power. The pay-back assessment needs the actual operating profile across a typical week, not the rated full-load number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan a VFD power a motor over a long cable run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but the practical limit depends on the cable type and the drive's output filter. PWM voltage from the drive output reflects off cable impedance discontinuities and the motor terminal, producing voltage overshoots that can damage motor insulation. Standard unshielded cable runs above about 30 metres need either a screened VFD cable (the recommended approach), an output choke at the drive, or a du\/dt filter for very long runs. AS\/NZS 3008 cable thermal sizing applies as the baseline; the EMC and voltage-overshoot considerations apply on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between IP20, IP55 and IP66 drives?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIP20 drives are open-frame and need to sit inside a switchboard or control panel enclosure to meet the installation environmental rating. IP55 drives have built-in dust and limited splash protection — they suit protected industrial spaces but not direct washdown or outdoor weather. IP66 drives are dust-tight and pressure-jet protected — they're the right choice for food and beverage washdown, exterior pump stations, dust extraction fans, and any installation where a separate enclosure adds cost and traps drive heat against the electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a VFD on a single-phase motor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally no. Single-phase induction motors with capacitor-start or capacitor-run circuits don't respond to PWM frequency control because the capacitor circuit is tuned to line frequency. The common solution where speed control is needed on a single-phase supply is to use a single-phase-input \/ three-phase-output VFD driving a small three-phase motor — Invertek's single-phase input drives in the sub-3kW range are designed for exactly this scenario and they work well for small pumps, fans and conveyors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat about VFDs for hoists, lifts and cranes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifting applications need closed-loop vector control (or sensorless vector with appropriate parameter setup) plus a dynamic braking resistor on the drive's DC bus to dissipate regenerative energy when the load lowers. Standard general-purpose drives without braking resistors will trip on overvoltage when a heavy load descends. Specify a vector-capable drive and check the braking resistor sizing against the lifting application's regenerative duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeed sizing help, EMC advice or a paired motor-and-drive package quote? \u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eContact our team\u003c\/a\u003e for sizing and compatibility assistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"paa\"\u003ePeople Also Ask — Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: What is a Variable Frequency Drive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is an electronic controller that varies the frequency of AC power supplied to an electric motor, changing the motor's speed. Used to: control speed of fans, pumps, conveyors; provide soft-start (avoid in-rush current at startup); save energy (running motors at the load-matching speed); enable variable-flow processes. Common in workshops, manufacturing, HVAC, and any application where fixed-speed motors waste energy or cause process issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: When do I install a VFD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentrifugal pump or fan running at constant speed but variable load: VFD saves 30-50% energy by matching speed to load. Conveyor with variable feed rate: VFD provides flow control. Motor that draws excessive starting current (DOL or star-delta): VFD provides soft-start. Process control requiring variable speed (winding, mixing, dosing): VFD enables setpoint control. Don't install VFDs unnecessarily — for constant-speed constant-load applications, the VFD cost isn't recovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: What size VFD do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch VFD output current capability to motor full-load current (FLC). Typical sizing: VFD rated current ≥ motor FLC × 1.0 (general purpose). For high-overload applications (positive displacement pumps, conveyors with shock load): VFD rated current ≥ motor FLC × 1.25-1.5. Voltage match: 415V three-phase for most industrial; 240V single-phase to three-phase VFDs for workshop applications with single-phase supply. Always check VFD voltage and current ratings against motor nameplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: VFD vs soft-starter — what's the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft-starter: reduces starting current at motor start, no speed control during operation, lower cost. Suitable when soft-start is all that's needed. VFD: controls speed during operation AND provides soft-start. Higher cost but more functionality. For pumps and fans where speed control gives energy savings: VFD pays back. For motors where only the start matters (large compressors, conveyors): soft-starter is sufficient and more cost-effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ: Are VFDs noisy and EMC-compliant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern VFDs produce switching frequencies typically 4-16 kHz — can cause audible whine in motors (mitigation: higher switching frequency setting). EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) compliance per AS\/NZS CISPR 11 requires input filters and shielded motor cables to prevent radiated emissions. Most quality VFDs include EMC filters as standard. For installations near sensitive electronics, additional filtering may be required.
