Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Testing Applications
Published by Dranetz Technologies, Inc. VFD motor controls have become very popular for both retrofits and in new applications. They offer increased energy efficiency, potential for less motor wear, lower startup currents and more. Potential disadvantageous include producing harmonics and damaged motors if they are not controlled properly. VFD’s use a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltageContinue reading “Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Testing Applications”
