Global Variable Frequency Drive Market: Restraints
Technical challenges related to VFDs
Technical challenges related to VFDs is expected to hamper growth of the global variable frequency drive (VFD) market during the forecast period. A majority of VFDs emit a series of pulses that are rapidly switched. In the presence of long cable between the motor and VFDs, these reflected pulses can lead to voltage production that exceeds line voltage, causing stress in motor windings and the cable. This, in turn, is leading to insulation failures, particularly for motors operating at 480 volts or higher. If these details are overlooked during installation phase, performance of VFDs can significantly hamper productivity of process systems, which can further lead to revenue losses.
Global Variable Frequency Drive Market- Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
COVID-19 is an unprecedented worldwide public health crisis that has impacted nearly every business and global variable frequency drive market. COVID -19 pandemic has a negative impact on global variable frequency drive (VFD) market. The pandemic has disturbed global supply chain leading to shortage of raw material.
