How a webinar works

All EASA private webinars are live events in which the audio and video are streamed to your computer over the Internet. Prior to the program, you will receive a web link to join the meeting. 

The presentation portion of the webinar will last about 45 minutes, followed by about 15 minutes of questions and answers.

Requirements

  • Internet connection
  • Computer with audio input (microphone) and audio output (speakers) appropriate for your size group
  • TV or projector/screen

The Zoom webinar service EASA uses will ask to install a small plugin. Your computer must be configured to allow this in order to have full functionality. Please check with your IT department or company's security policy prior to scheduling a private webinar.

Private Webinars

EASA's private webinars are an inexpensive way to bring an EASA engineer into your service center, place of business or group meeting without incurring travel expenses or lost production time.

Applying variable frequency drives to cranes, hoists

If you’ve ever applied variable frequency drives (VFDs) to standard motors, I’m sure you know how critical it is to understand the specific application and to get all the required data so that you can apply the drive properly. It’s not the time to guess or make assumptions. Most failed applications are a result of not getting all the information. 

When trying to apply VFDs to old or existing cranes and hoists, this holds doubly true. Several drive manufacturers sell their crane and hoist drives only through authorized “crane and hoist” dealers because the applications are fraught with potential problems. Before beginning one of these projects, make sure your insurance carrier covers you for the redesign and work on cranes and hoists.
