VFDs operating in torque mode modulate power and speed
May 24, 2023
Torque control is a common need for winding and unwinding applications of material rolls
Torque control requires a variable-frequency drive (VFD), and it differs from speed control because the primary goal is to operate the motor at a commanded torque, regardless of the resulting speed. VFDs operating in torque mode modulate the power and speed to achieve a commanded torque.
