Introduction VLT® AutomationDrive FC 360 Quick Guide

3.2 Product Overview

A frequency converter is an electronic motor controller
that converts AC mains input into a variable AC waveform
output. The frequency and voltage of the output are
regulated to control the motor speed or torque. The
frequency converter can vary the speed of the motor in
response to system feedback, such as changing
temperature or pressure for controlling fan, compressor, or
pump motors. The frequency converter can also regulate
the motor by responding to remote commands from
external controllers.
