So to put a simply a VFD is a type of motor controller that drives a three phase electric motor, and it can control the motor by varying, not only the frequency but the voltage that's being supplied to the electric motor. Okay? So one of the coolest things about VFD's is that their automatic. You don't have to sit there and monkey around with them and adjust them when you need certain things to happen, they sense the load requirements and then they increase or decrease the motor speed accordingly. So this helps out in a couple of different ways. It helps reduce operating temperature of the equipment. It also helps reduce stress on the mechanical components.

This is probably the advice that Apple should have given when it released the iPhone, or Tesla when it started selling cars.   "Don't buy our product!"   Neither of these Uber successful companies have yet to release a perfect, flawless product.   How dare they??   iPhones are riddled with problems. Software crashes, hardware malfunctions, battery issues. Yet they keep building them for us to buy.   Same with Tesla. Doors and hoods won't open, production issues, crashes...   I'm sure the list could go on.   But both companies keep building and selling their products.   They dare to keep selling products because they are innovators and they want to provide the consumer with the best that they have, even though the best that they have isn't perfect... and it never will be.   There will always be software and car crashes. There will always be hardware problems, there will always be the human element that comes along with innovation.   So where am I going with this?   Let me tell you.   This month has been full of information being thrown your way. mostly about what Codey can do to this point. I've done this because I'm so excited about the resource and that possibilities that it brings to the trade.   But now it's time to Codey out into the wild and I need to give you a disclaimer.   Don’t buy Codey if:   You think codey is going to be perfect.   You think codey is going to have ALL of the answers you will ever need...right now.   You think codey will take the responsibility from you to know what you are doing.   You think you will never have to look at the NEC again.   You are looking for a shortcut to becoming great.   You want to pay a lot more later on when you finally decide to buy it.     Do buy codey if:   You want a tool that will help you on your path to greatness   You want a tool that will help you become more efficient and knowledgeable   You want help finding answers to code and other types of electrical questions (database is growing everyday)   You want to invest in the beta version now at a lower price (this will help us hire more developers to speed up the process) and keep this low price unless you cancel the service   You want to save countless hours of research to questions that you need the answers to.   Codey is no different that the coolest products that you own. This is just the first version, just like they had a first version.   It will have bugs.   It won't have all the answers.   It will get better every day.   It will be awesome.   It will change with the industry.   It will make your life easier.   So please remember, if you are planning to get on board with Codey right now, which I hope you will, you'll get the lowest price it will ever be from this point forward.   You will help speed up the development process.   And you'll be part of making something great.   So here you go.
