3 Product overview
3.1 What this chapter contains
This chapter mainly introduces the working principles, product features, layouts, nameplates and
model designation rules.
3.2 Basic principles
The VFD is used to control asynchronous AC induction motors and permanent magnetic synchronous
motors. The following figure shows the main circuit diagram of the VFD. The rectifier converts 3PH
AC voltage into DC voltage, the capacitor bank of intermediate circuit stabilizes the DC voltage, and
then the inverter converts DC voltage into AC voltage that can be used by an AC motor.
