Variable Speed Drive
The variable speed drive is an auxiliary feature
available on all Polar Air compressors. A variable
speed drive or VSD regulates amp draw during start-
up and motor speed during operation according to air
demand.
All Polar Air compressors are equipped with a VSD
compliant motor, ventilated electrical box &
adequate space in compressor cabinet for easy
installation. The electronic controller (PLC) for the
compressor unit provides start/stop command and
display fault status for the VSD device.
Be sure to install VSD in a clean,
dust-free environment.

Each compressor cabinet has built-in VSD compartment
