In response to the pressing concerns of global warming and climate change, governments and businesses globally have prioritized achieving net-zero emissions and implementing energy-saving metrics for electrical consumption. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), motors account for a staggering 46% of global electricity and energy usage, significantly outpacing lighting's 19% share. This underscores the growing international recognition of motor energy-saving standards. Brushless DC Motors (BLDC) have emerged as superior alternatives to traditional induction motors, boasting high efficiency, compact size, lightweight design, extended lifespan, quiet operation, and ease of control. Their variable frequency control capabilities have made them a favored choice among end-product system manufacturers for effectively reducing energy consumption by replacing conventional motors.

After conducting extensive market and industry research over three years, along with tracking technological innovation trends, MEAN WELL, a pioneering force in the power industry and a champion of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), has introduced a novel product line: the "VFD Series, Industrial Brushless DC Motor Variable Frequency Drive." This series comprises eight models, catering to both DC and AC input voltages, and offers two PCB board formats and enclosed semi-glue machine cases. Featuring built-in PFC (exclusive to AC input models) ranging from 150 to 750W, standard control and sensor signals, and the ability to configure motor speed, braking settings, and programming via an external control card (sold separately; see "Product Roadmap" for details), the VFD series stands out.

The entire VFD series is designed without fans, ensuring silent operation while achieving peak efficiency of up to 93% and offering a 200% peak current capacity. Equipped with comprehensive built-in protection functions, these controllers adhere to international safety standards such as IEC/EN61800-5-1 and electromagnetic compatibility standards IEC/EN61800-3. They are ideal for terminal systems and products utilizing brushless DC (BLDC) motors, including fans, AC systems, smoke extraction equipment, water pumps, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), power tools, automatic doors, machinery, conveyors, medical devices, fitness equipment, and more.
