What are variable frequency drives? What are AC motors?
How does motor current analysis help motors?
Motor current analysis provides information on existing issues such as loose connections, burned windings, and grounded windings.
Importance of motor winding analysis in a facility
Motor faults and failure can cause disruptions to business operations and lead to loss of productivity and reduced profits.
Why online motor testing is a great PdM tool
Although offline or static testing is an important part of a routine maintenance program, dynamic testing of motors can be done more frequently and, in many cases, with greater benefit.
VFD efficiency: Three best practices
The use of VFDs has many benefits including improved process control, energy savings, higher reliability and reduced wear and tear.
Considerations for using VFDs with standard motors
End users desire speed and/or torque control procure and install VFDs to modify existing applications where a standard-induction motor is in place. There are a few areas of concern involving misapplication of a standard induction motor.
VFDs offer cost-effective benefits for plants
Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are designed to reduce energy usage by controlling the speed of the motor and can offer cost-effective benefits for plants.
Prevent shaft current from causing motor damage
Awareness and testing for potential shaft current on motors can help companies experience fewer problems with downtime and equipment failure.
Using medium-voltage VFDs for better pump process control
How product innovations are revolutionizing pump monitoring and process control management.
