Description
This course is composed of more than 20 videos. Each section is composed of one or more videos. These videos are created by an electrical engineer with an industrial background acquired during several years of working in different fields (automotive industry, pharmaceutical industry, mining industry…). In this course we tried to cover the essential theoretical and practical aspects of the variable frequency drives.This course is described as follows :Section1 : What is a VFD and how does it work .Section2 : Common applications of the VFDs in industrial environment.Section3 : Choosing the right VFD for your application: Factors to consider when selecting a VFD.Section4 : VFD wiring and installation:Section5 : Electrical safety considerations when working with VFDsSection6 : Practical demonstration of a VFD Schneider Electric ATV28HU09M2 This course will start from the principle of working of a variable frequency drive, passing through the common applications and how to choose a VFD to conclude with a practical demonstration of wiring, programming and operating the VFD.This course targets Beginners or advanced technicians curious to learn more about AC motor control, engineers working in industrial fields and electrical engineering students.So if you are ready to learn about VFDs , I’ll catch you in this course. I look forward to seeing you on the inside.
