A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) regulates the speed of a 3-phase AC electric motor by controlling the frequency and voltage of the power it delivers to the motor. These devices, also known as ...
For all their energy savings and control benefits, when VFDs fail, they bring motor-driven industrial operations to a dead stop. To avoid such situations, savvy engineers ensure drive-system ...
Improperly terminated VFD cables can generate up to 60 amps of common mode current spikes through facility ground grids, damaging unconnected control and communication equipment. Most electricians ...
