Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
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 saving 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 the application in the process areas, in fact, offer equal opportunities for the energy conservation.
Pumps, fans and compressors are the most commonly found equipment in varied types of industries and commercial use. On an average the power consumed by pumps alone varies between 5-30 % depending on the type of industry & applications. There is 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 Centers (MCC) and Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) Training automation and communication through 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.
To define the operation and construction of AC electrical motors and the electrical drives based on modern state-of-the-art inverter technology, and their characteristics that need to be matched with those of loads.
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
- Choose the Best Type of Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).
- Identify the operating parameters of the Motor Control Centers and VFD's.
- Identify the reasons for routine maintenance of Motor Control Centers and VFD's.
- Understand the common maintenance tasks carried out on Motor Control Centers and VFD's.
- Demonstrate how to evaluate and interpret performance of Motor Control Centers and VFD's.
- Demonstrate response to abnormal conditions and take action.
- Identify & Correct Drive System Problems.
- Identify & Test Major Drive Components.
- Perform Start-Up of an AC Drive.
- Review maintenance procedures both for motors and drives following well-established industrial procedures as outlined in standards.
- Illustrate with troubleshooting methods for both motors and drives following methodologies that have been developed by manufacturers in order to reduce downturn time dramatically.
- Analyze and familiarize on how to utilize single-line drawings and other documentation to successful perform commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting.
