VFD training teaches electricians, technicians and engineers how variable frequency drives work and how to select, install, program, commission and troubleshoot them safely, from the incoming power supply through the drive to the motor and driven load.
This 12-hour, two-day live online course is vendor-neutral. The skills apply to the drives you already have, whatever the brand. It earns 1.2 CEUs.
Variable frequency drives now control most new motor loads in industrial plants, commercial buildings and water and wastewater facilities. Applied correctly, they cut energy use, soften starting and give precise process control. Applied poorly, they cause:
Most of these problems come from three things: how the drive was selected, how it was installed and how it was programmed. Drives also bring hazards that are easy to miss. DC bus capacitors stay charged after the power is off. Drives can restart automatically. Many drives also have safety functions, such as Safe Torque Off, that technicians need to understand before working on the machine.
This course follows the whole drive system, step by step.
Day 1 explains how drives work and how to apply them:
Day 2 covers installing, programming, commissioning and troubleshooting:
Participants practise on the same problems they meet in the field:
The course is vendor-neutral and goes beyond single-brand manufacturer training. Participants learn how the drive, the motor and the electrical system work together, and they leave with skills they can apply to any make of drive.
