VFD Selection and Upgrade Guide

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are essential in modern industrial automation. They regulate motor speed and save energy. But for international traders, system integrators, and repair firms, selecting the right model—and knowing when to repair, replace, or upgrade—is not just technical work; it’s business-critical.

KaiRock, as a professional industrial parts supplier based in China, specializes in global sourcing of automation brands like Siemens, Yaskawa, Schneider, Delta, ABB, Honeywell, Omron, Estun, and Inovance. We help our B2B partners reduce costs, shorten delivery times, and manage replacement or upgrade decisions effectively.

Application Type

Constant torque loads → Siemens MM440, ABB ACS800

Variable torque (fans/pumps) → ABB ACS510, Siemens MM430, Schneider ATV61

Motor Current over Power

Always size your VFD based on motor current, not just kW

Environment

For harsh environments (heat, humidity, dust), choose higher protection grade or add filters

Brand and Standardization

Standardize on top brands like Siemens, Yaskawa, ABB

Use local alternatives like Estun or Inovance to optimize cost
