DC MOTORS/DRIVES vs AC MOTORS/DRIVES
AC drives, also known as adjustable speed drives or variable frequency drives (VFD's) control motor speed by changing the frequency of the electrical supply to the motor. With DC drives, the motor turns at a speed directly proportional to the voltage applied to the armature.
