Bad Vibrations and VFDs: How to Mitigate Premature Motor Damage By Michael Brandt, PE – The use of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to control electric motors has increased over the last few decades. Not only can they provide control, but they can also increase efficiency and reduce costs through operational energy savings. We have used them on industrial projects to reduce the water hammer in a pumping application or to start a conveyor belt or production process line. A simple Google search will show you lists of reasons why you should use VFDs, including their ability to: • Vary a motor’s speed to match theRead More →
