The first step in AC motor repair is identifying that there is a problem. If an electric motor smells like it’s burning, is vibrating and running loudly, or if the motor is not operating at its peak performance, something is probably wrong. When these circumstances present themselves, promptly shut the power off to the motor […]
VFD Drives For Dummies: VFD is an abbreviation that stands for “variable frequency drives”. VFD Drives are also called “variable speed drives”, “adjustable speed drives”, “electric motor speed controllers”, and “inverters”. VFD Drives For Dummies: Every VFD has its own component characteristics, so how each VFD works is dependent upon components within the VFD. Most VFD […]
HMI solutions allow for interactive operation and control between humans and machines. An HMI (human-machine interface) provides feedback from the industrial machine to the end user. This feedback allows the end user to make changes so that the machine is more effective in production. An HMI can also provide a way to control, manage, monitor and visually […]
Eaton VFD motor drives can reduce energy consumption in factories from 10 to 50 percent. Technicians achieve this energy reduction through motor speed reduction. Since most equipment does not require the full load motor speed for effective production, an electric motor’s needed output speed is reduced via Eaton VFD motor drives. Reduced energy consumption lowers utility expenses and in some […]
ABB VFD life cycle of ACS800 series products will see an increased lead time of approximately 20 days for classic products. Clarification on which products are affected and which ones are not can be found below. At the end of May 2016 this announcement was published to make light of the life cycle transition from Active to Classic […]
