Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) in Australia
Shop variable frequency drives and VFD products from AuscomTech. We stock practical motor speed control products for pumps, fans, conveyors, machinery, automation systems, industrial control panels and motor control applications.
Whether you are controlling pump speed, adjusting fan output, improving motor control, replacing a failed inverter drive or building an automation system, VFDs help control compatible AC motors by varying the output frequency and voltage supplied to the motor.
Shop Variable Frequency Drives by Type
Our VFD range may include products such as:
- Variable Frequency Drives: Motor control devices used to vary the speed of compatible AC motors.
- Inverter Drives: Drives used for motor speed control in pumps, fans, conveyors, machinery and automation systems.
- Single Phase Input VFDs: VFDs designed for suitable applications where single phase input power is used depending on the model.
- Three Phase VFDs: Drives used with compatible three phase motors in industrial and control panel applications.
- Pump VFDs: Drives used in suitable pump control applications for pressure, flow or process control.
- Fan VFDs: Drives used to vary fan and blower speed in compatible HVAC, ventilation and control applications.
- VFD Accessories: Keypads, braking resistors, filters, control wiring accessories and related parts depending on current availability.
VFDs for Pumps, Fans, Machinery & Automation Systems
Variable frequency drives are commonly used in pump systems, fan systems, conveyors, machine control, process control, water systems, HVAC applications and industrial automation panels. They can help control motor speed, reduce starting current, improve process control and allow motors to be controlled from sensors, PLCs or manual setpoints depending on the application.
Always check the motor voltage, motor power, full-load current, supply voltage, number of phases, motor type, load type, enclosure requirements, control signal, braking requirements, EMC requirements and installation environment before ordering.
VFDs vs Soft Starters and Contactors
A contactor switches a motor directly on or off. A soft starter helps ramp a motor up more smoothly during starting. A VFD provides speed control during operation by changing the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor.
For reduced-voltage motor starting without speed control, browse our soft starters category. For basic motor switching and control panel components, browse our contactors and motor control categories.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a VFD used for?
A VFD, or variable frequency drive, is used to control the speed of a compatible AC motor by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor.
What is the difference between a VFD and a soft starter?
A soft starter mainly controls the motor during starting and sometimes stopping. A VFD controls motor speed during operation and can provide more flexible motor control depending on the application.
Can a VFD be used on pumps and fans?
Yes. VFDs are commonly used on compatible pump and fan motors to adjust speed, control flow or pressure, reduce starting current and improve system control.
What should I check before buying a VFD?
Check the supply voltage, motor voltage, number of phases, motor power, full-load current, load type, control method, enclosure requirements and installation environment.
Can you help me choose the right VFD?
Yes. If you are unsure which VFD suits your application, contact AuscomTech with your supply voltage, motor voltage, motor power, full-load current, number of phases, load type and control requirements.
