Variable-frequency drives (VFDs), also known as variable-speed or adjustable-speed drives are used to power AC motors in a variety of industrial motion control, commercial
flow/pumping, and extrusion applications. Benefits of using a VFD over traditional DC drives include more precise motor control and improved power efficiency. While there
are many benefits to using VFDs, their use requires special considerations for other drive system components; especially the drives output cabling. These drive systems
require cables that are specifically designed for VFD applications in order to improve drive system reliability while negating the impact of RFI/EMI.
