^MV
Variable Frequency Drives (VFD / Inverters)
Description
Power-electronic motor controllers — take fixed-frequency AC input, output variable-frequency AC to control AC motor speed + torque. Marine applications: propulsion drives, thruster drives, pump/compressor speed control, BWTS circulation pumps, HVAC fans, cargo-pump drives. Also known as AC drives, VSDs, inverters. Ranked alongside ^MA because in marine procurement VFDs are almost always specified with AC induction motors.
