Typical Drive Applications in the Power Plant

Variable frequency drives are used to control the speed of fans,

pumps, and mills in power plants.  VFDs are also used to smoothly

start large motors, synchronize, and connect them across the line.

The following seven pages describe four typical applications and

present the reasons why electric drives were chosen.

These selected drive applications are:
