How reliable are Variable Frequency Drives?
Every time we invest in a product, we're buying more than just a physical object - we're purchasing a promise. A promise that when we need it most, the device will perform exactly as we expect.
Whether it's a new car, a smartphone that connects instantly, or an industrial machine that keeps production running smoothly, reliability is the silent expectation behind every purchase.
The same goes for variable frequency drives (VFDs), a critical piece of industrial equipment that can affect an entire production cycle. Reliability isn't just a nice-to-have feature - it's a fundamental requirement that can determine operational success.
Variable Frequency Drives are known for their reliability, but their longevity and performance can vary significantly depending on the manufacturer and quality of components used. This is where manufacturers like Invertek distinguish themselves. By focusing on rigorous design, high-quality components, and comprehensive testing, they take reliability to the next level. We take a look at how Invertek VSDs are designed with reliability in mind.
Quality Manufacturing
Variable Frequency Drives are often associated primarily with energy savings, but their functionality extends far beyond this. They also provide precise speed control, enhance automation, and improve production efficiency. This versatility makes them essential in various industrial applications, from manufacturing lines to complex process control systems.
The market for VFDs is growing, with many of which are produced overseas, however some do not always meet the highest quality standards. Invertek’s products are designed and manufactured in the UK to the quality and environmental management system principals of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001:2015.
Invertek's commitment to quality is evident in their recent announcement of a three-year warranty on their Optidrive VFD range, which can be extended up to five years. This confidence stems from their 26-year legacy of innovation and rigorous quality control throughout the manufacturing process. Every Optidrive VFD undergoes meticulous testing in Invertek's state-of-the-art facility in Welshpool, UK, ensuring superior product quality.
Every Invertek variable frequency drive is also thoroughly tested at the factory, including checks for short circuits and overloads, to ensure they work reliably prior to shipping.
