Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)

A variable frequency drive (VFD) controls the rotational speed of a motor by controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied while not affecting the quality of the system. Typical motors have two settings, on and off. Allowing a motor to adjust its output based on the demand of the equipment allows the motors to save energy by working at a lower speed during less demanding times.

ActOnEnergy® offers great incentives for new projects that add VFDs to motors or pumps. The percent of the project cost that ActOnEnergy will cover is 75%, allowing for a quicker payback on projects.
