  • A static frequency converter or changer is a device that alters the frequency of the input signal according to the input set point. It consists of solid-state switching devices which are either on or off according to the input control signal.
  • A static frequency changer is a type of frequency changer used for speed control of AC motors such as used for pumps and fans.
  • The speed of an AC motor is dependent on the frequency of the AC power supply, so changing frequency allows the motor speed to be changed.
  • This allows fan or pumps output to be varied to match process conditions, which can provide energy savings.
