VFD and Soft Starter Panel – Overview

Intelligent Motor Control for Energy Efficiency & Equipment Protection

A VFD and Soft Starter Panel is an advanced motor control solution designed to control the speed, torque, and starting current of electric motors. These panels play a critical role in improving energy efficiency, reducing mechanical stress, and extending motor life in industrial and commercial applications.

AAVAD Instrument Pvt. Ltd. designs and manufactures high-quality Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Panels and Soft Starter Panels tailored to meet diverse motor control requirements across industries.

What is a VFD Panel?

A VFD Panel (Variable Frequency Drive Panel) controls the speed of an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor. This enables precise speed control, optimized energy consumption, and smooth operation of motors.

VFD Panels are widely used in:

• Drilling and pumping systems

• Tube mills and paper mills

• Extruder plants and rolling mills

• Cable industry and CTL lines

• Hospitals, business houses, and public infrastructure

What is a Soft Starter Panel?

A Soft Starter Panel is a solid-state motor control device designed to limit the high inrush current during motor startup. It provides a gradual ramp-up of voltage, allowing the motor to reach full speed smoothly and reducing mechanical and electrical stress.

Soft starters are also known as Reduced Voltage Starters (RVS) and are primarily used during motor startup (and stop, if soft stop is enabled).
