About SmartD
We Eliminated the Compromises of Conventional VFDs.
We Revolutionize Motor Control
For over 50 years, variable frequency drives have improved energy efficiency and enabled precise motor speed control.
But they also introduced trade-offs the industry accepted as “normal”:
- Harmonics on the grid
- Motor insulation stress
- Premature bearing failures
- Reflected wave overvoltage
- Bulky filters and reactors
- Larger, more complex electrical rooms
The standard response was mitigation — add filters, reactors, grounding rings, shielded cable.
We chose a different path.
Engineering the Problem Out. Not Around It
SmartD Clean Power VFD technology was built to eliminate the root causes of these side effects – directly at the heart of the drive architecture..
Instead of adding external mitigation equipment, we reduce it at the source.
The results:
- <5% THDi on the line side without external filters
- Pure sinewave output to the motor
- Reduced common mode voltage
- Lower bearing and insulation stress
- Reliable operation over long cable runs
- Simplified electrical design
Cleaner power. Fewer components. Low risk.
Designed for Real Infrastructure
SmartD Clean Power VFD are engineered for environments where conventional VFD compromises become costly:
Municipal Water & Wastewater
Long cable runs. Tight panels. Harmonic compliance. 24/7 uptime.
Industrial & Manufacturing
Shared feeders. Continuous-duty motors. Dense electrical rooms.
Data Centers & Critical Facilities
Cooling systems that cannot tolerate nuisance trips.
HVAC, Refrigeration & Agriculture
Sensitive systems where electrical noise impacts performance and longevity.
Built by Engineers. Backed by Field Results.
SmartD is a Canadian power electronics company dedicated exclusively to advancing clean motor control.
We design, test, and manufacture fully integrated drive solutions that:
- Protect electrical infrastructure
- Extend motor and bearing life
- Reduce total system and lifecycle cost
This is not a cosmetic update to a decades-old topology.
It is a fundamental re-engineering of how a VFD should perform within modern electrical systems.
Our Commitment
We believe motor control should not require damage control but should:
→ Protect electrical infrastructure
→ Extend motor life
→ Simplify system architecture
→ Reduce project risk
→ Lower total cost of ownership
And we believe engineering integrity matters.If you’re designing a new installation or planning a retrofit, we’d be glad to explore whether Clean Power VFD is the right fit.
