It is estimated that electrical drives and other rotating equipment consume about 50% of the total electrical energy consumed in the world today. The variable frequency drive (VFD) industry is growing rapidly, and it is now more important than ever for technicians and maintenance personnel to keep VFD installations running smoothly. Both industrial and commercial variable frequency drive applications are addressed, with discussion of installation issues, troubleshooting, metering, sizing and selection, energy savings with variable frequency drives, and more.
This outstanding seminar gives you a fundamental understanding of the installation, operation and troubleshooting of Variable Speed Drives (VSDs). Typical practical applications of VSDs in process control and materials handling such as those for submersible pumps, and ventilations are covered in detail. You will gain a fundamental understanding of the installation, operation and troubleshooting of electric motors & VFDs. Typical applications of electric motors in mining, manufacturing, materials handling and process control are covered in detail. You will learn the basic steps in specifying, installing, wiring and commissioning motors & VFD. The concluding section of the course gives you the fundamental tools in troubleshooting motors confidently and effectively.
