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.

Motor and drive system resonance problems and solutions

Mechanical resonance can be defined as the amplification of the vibration level of a mass or structure at its natural frequency, caused by excitation from an external source. For a rotating mass, this amplification occurs at the critical speed(s). Electrical resonance causes an amplification of the magnitude of voltage or current, or both. The increase in amplitude, whether mechanical or electrical, increases the stress on motor components and negatively affects operation, e.g., increased vibration, instability, increased energy consump­tion, and premature failure. 

By receiving energy from an external source, the resonant condition can cause the magnitude of the disturbance to continue to increase until a fault occurs. Mechanical resonance can lead to breakage of motor and drive compo­nents, and electrical resonance can result in winding failure. In this article we will discuss mechanical and electrical resonance associated with motors and drives, and provide some solutions to address them.
