A variable frequency drive is an electronic device that allows you to start, stop, and control the speed of a three phase motor. It is also a motor starter as it is equipped with overload protection. Read more »
What is the difference between a 'new surplus' motor and a 'factory new' motor?
Our New Surplus electric motors and drives are new and unused overstock or discontinued items offered at lower prices and come with our 90-day warranty.
Factory New products are competitively priced and come with a manufacturers warranty.
Variable frequency drives (VFDs or inverters) now play an important part in major industry.
Within the last 10 years they have been perfected to control and vary the speed of 3 phase electric motors. They serve many purposes, besides speed control. Homeowners and hobbyist alike, who have lathes or milling machines with a 3 phase motor, usually don't have 3 phase power to operate. These VFDs (instead of using a rotary phase converter) can now be used to convert single phase power to 3 phase power. Read more »
N3 Compact Variable Speed Drive with built in EMC filter
A compact, low cost, and versatile AC Drive that can operate in constant torque, variable torque, or sensorless vector modes for maximum application flexibility.
EMC filter
The inverter adopts rapid switching components to improve the efficiency of the motor and to
reduce the motor noise. Using the EMC Filter allows the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and
RFI (Radio Frequency interference) to be controlled within ranges compliant with the directives as
shown. The inverter with optional filter complies with the EMC directives 89/336/EEC, limiting the
environmental EMI and RFI. Independent tests have demonstrated compliance to the following
standards when the optional filters are used. This drive with internal filter meets EN 61800-3 1996/A11: 2000: First Environment Unrestricted Distribution (Class B).
