This webinar goes through the basics of what accessories may be needed for proper VFD control and power quality add-ons to improve motor driven system reliability. Just buying and installing a VFD isn’t enough to ensure proper operation of a motor driven system in its application, nor does it protect upstream and downstream devices from power quality issues. Topics include:

  • Drive accessories
    • Operator panels, encoders, position encoders, communication devices
  • Power quality accessories
    • VFD cables and EMC terminations
    • Input reactors and/or isolation transformers
    • Output filters (reactors, dV/dt, sinusoidal, inductive chokes, etc)
  • Impacts on AC motors
    • Reduction in SF
    • Winding failures
    • Shaft voltage/bearing currents
    • Turn down ratios

This presentation will be useful for anyone new to VFD applications, or anyone in need of a refresher course.
