Description

Variable Frequency Drives – Wire-Setup-Troubleshoot VFDs course published by Udemy Academy. Online course on wiring, commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting of VFD and modern motor systems.

This course covers all aspects of working with modern variable frequency drives (VFD). General terms that apply to all VFD manufacturers are covered. Wiring, programming and setup of various manufacturers are covered. In-depth commissioning of the VFD is covered using the professional drive commissioning software that is included for free in the course. The student can follow and adjust the parameters using the software. VFD simulation software is also included and shown to exactly replicate the front panel buttons of a modern VFD. The student goes through the steps of setting up the drive and covers the important points he has learned over the years. Periodic inspection and maintenance of VFDs and electric motors are covered. Equipment maintenance and troubleshooting tasks are covered.
