Description
In the first half of this course, we will cover the installation, basic setup, and basic operation of Variable Frequency Drives. In the second half of this course, we will delve into the more advanced features, and we will go much deeper into the parameter settings. Learning the basics takes roughly 2 hours. The videos are short, and the information is delivered in a crisp and clear manner.
By the end of this course, you will know how to install, program, and operate most VFDs.
Course layout:
Module 1: VFD layout, Pulse Width Modulation, and VFD basics.
Module 2: Important inverter and motor information
Module 3: Power circuit installation, main circuit installation, basic parameters and overload settings.
Module 4: Basic operation using the built-in operation panel, and VF-curves.
Module 5: Terminal layout for the external control circuit.
Module 6: External operation panel and everything else.
