Description
The Variable-Frequency Drive Training System is a state-of-the-art training system specifically designed to introduce students to the basic principles of variable-frequency drives (VFDs). It provides a comprehensive, high-quality, and cost-effective solution to rapidly build student knowledge in VFDs and their motor applications. It is designed for portability and powered using a standard single-phase ac outlet.
Through theory and hands-on exercises, the Variable-Frequency Drive Training System fully covers motor drives, three-phase induction motors, VFD operation with basic and advanced control functions, VFD load types and control methods, and VFD troubleshooting. An optional exercise also covers the use of VFDs with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and combines the Variable-Frequency Drive Training System with the Advanced PLC Training System, Model 3355.
