How VFD-Compatible Brushless Permanent Magnet Motors Address Common Challenges of AC Induction Motors

[![How VFD-Compatible BLDC Motors Address Common Challenges of VFD-Driven AC Motors](https://www.orientalmotor.com/images/brushless-dc-motors/brushless-dc-motors-bmu-high-power-stator.jpg)](https://blog.orientalmotor.com/how-vfd-compatible-bldc-pm-motors-address-common-challenges-of-vfd-driven-ac-induction-motors)

Due to technological advancements, VFD users are no longer limited to AC induction motors.  Another alternative, brushless permanent magnet motors are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to reduce footprint, lower power consumption, and improve performance.  We know that replacing a VFD and motor takes more work than just swapping out parts, so we came up with a simpler solution.

This article breaks down the common challenges associated with AC induction motors and VFDs and explains how VFD-compatible brushless permanent magnet motors can address them.

[![Head-to-Head Comparison: 1 HP Brushless DC Motor vs 1 HP AC Induction Motor](https://blog.orientalmotor.com/hubfs/lm-brushless-dc-motor-ac-input_01_en-1.jpg)](https://blog.orientalmotor.com/head-to-head-comparison-1-hp-brushless-dc-motor-vs-1-hp-ac-induction-motor)

For machine designers who typically specify 3-phase AC induction motors and VFDs to meet variable speed requirements, brushless DC (BLDC) motors can be a cheat code to designing smaller, lighter, and more efficient machines.  This article compares our 750 W (1 HP) Brushless DC Motor to an equivalent AC motor in efficiency, size/weight, and performance.
