Q: Which of the following statements depict the actual benefit of a VFD.
A: It converts input frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz to an output frequency that is twice the input frequency.
Q: Which of the following statements depict the actual benefit of a VFD.
A: It is used to avoid cavitation.
Q: Which of the following statements depict the actual benefit of a VFD.
A: It provides soft start and soft stop, thereby, minimising the risk of water hammer in the system.
