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.

Recording duration: 60 Minutes

Presented by Chuck Yung
EASA Senior Technical Support Specialist

This webinar explains what shaft currents are, what causes them, and differentiates between the two common causes:

  1. Circulating currents which affect DC motors and AC motors not operating from a drive
  2. Shaft currents caused by operation from a VFD, and how to tell the difference between the two.

This webinar also discusses and compares methods to mitigate shaft currents and explains why the different causes of shaft currents require different solutions. It covers:

  • Shorted rotor iron
  • Uneven air gap
  • Unbalanced voltage
  • What type of grounding brush works best?
  • Role of carrier frequency in causing shaft currents
  • How to recognize the problem on site
  • Insulation thickness, capacitance, and types of insulated bearings

This information is useful to engineers, service center managers, mechanics and anyone interacting with customers.
