Invertek Launches “Industry Changing” VFD at interlift

Elevator motor control technology manufacturer Invertek Drives Ltd. launched its new variable frequency drive (VFD), Optidrive Elevator Core, on October 17 at interlift 2023 in Augsburg, Germany. Describing Optidrive Elevator Core as “industry changing,” Invertek observed the new drive provides “unprecedented” size, functionality and power. Designed for elevator manufacturers, installers and engineers, the VFD offers easy installation, configuration and commissioning.
