The basic system of a variable frequency drive consists of an operator interface, controller, and AC motor. However, in recent years, as electrical applications have become more complex and intricate, unlike a variable speed drive, a variable frequency drive carries the ability to optimally control the direction and speed of the motor, leading to high-performance results.
At Schneider Electric India, we offer a range of variable speed drives and variable frequency drives that adjust the speed of the motor throughout its running cycle, giving you complete control of your electric motor's applications. Variable speed drives improve your motors' life and deliver energy efficiency through electrical motors gentle ramping up.

Altivar is one of our popular ranges of variable speed drives, which includes Altivar 61 Plus, Altivar 312, Altivar 312 Solar, and many others. All of them offer a wide scope of application. Additionally, we offer exceptional services to assist our customers in optimizing the operational expenses and extending the installed base's life.
Explore Schneider Electric’s variable frequency drive systems to avail a diverse range of extensively tested and ready-to-connect motor control solutions, be it compact, pre-engineered systems or even custom-engineered complex solutions. These solutions are designed to the best quality level; created according to your needs and are safe for operation at full-load operating conditions. In simple words, variable frequency drive regulate the rotation speed of electric motors that power fans, pumps, and other components of factories, plants, and buildings. In contrast, Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a type of controller used to drive electric motors by regulating the voltage and frequency of power supplied to them.
Schneider Electric India offers a range of variable frequency drives that assist operators in practicing absolute control over their electric motor installations. In addition, variable frequency drives ensure accurate control over motor speeds. Operators can increase, decrease, and sustain the motor speeds indefinitely while considerably saving energy costs by only delivering the required speed levels.
What is Variable Speed Drivers and how they work & its benefits Variable speed drivers (VSDs), also known as adjustable speed drives, are devices used to control the speed of AC motors. They operate by adjusting the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor, which in turn changes the speed of the motor. VSDs have several benefits, including improved energy efficiency, reduced mechanical stress on the motor, precise speed control, and reduced electrical noise. They also offer greater process control, reduced downtime and maintenance, making them a versatile and cost-effective solution for many industrial applications. Explore to know more.

Soft starters are motor control devices that provide a motor's smooth start-up for helping limit the electrical peak demand and mechanical shock. While a variable frequency drive can also control a motor's specific speed, a soft starter can only accelerate and decelerate the motor. Schneider Electric offers a complete range of feature-rich soft starters for industrial as well as commercial applications. Discover our soft starter solutions designed to meet your applications' performance requirements, covering the security of equipment and personnel, ease of start-up, along with fast wiring time.
A soft starter is a device that allows motors to start with less power than usual. Reducing the wattage decreases the system's risk of electrical and mechanical shocks. They gradually increase speed and are only needed during starting and stopping. A soft starter prevents shocks by ensuring smooth and consistent starting through torque management for the progressive acceleration of the drive system. Mechanical components will last longer and require less maintenance because of this. Soft starters also help with power factor adjustment, a self-monitoring function. Due to magnetising and related losses, the relative reactive component of current consumed by the motor is redundantly high when the motor is operating at less than full load. Another useful feature of soft starters is the ability to modify the starting torque and acceleration time.
