Course Introduction
Variable Frequency/speed drives are devices used for varying the speed of driven equipment (such as pumps, blowers, compressors, conveyors, etc.) to exactly match the process requirements and achieve energy savings as well.
For an electrical engineer, it is just not sufficient to be satisfied with selecting the right type and size of motor. The knowledge of driven equipment and its application in the process areas, in fact, offers equal opportunities for energy conservation.
Pumps, fans, and compressors are the most commonly found equipment in varied types of industries and commercial use. On average, the power consumed by pumps alone varies between 5-30 % depending on the type of industry & applications. There is a tremendous energy-saving opportunity for achieving substantial energy savings through variable Frequency drives in these applications.
Motor Control Centers (MCC)
In this training, an advanced Motor Control Center (MCC) and Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) Training, automation, and communication through a communications automation control system. This course is designed to provide professionals with a thorough understanding of MCCs and VFDs, focusing on their design, operation, and integration. Participants will gain practical knowledge and skills essential for managing and optimizing motor control systems and VFD applications in various industrial settings.
