VFD Variable Frequency Drive Training

VFD Variable Frequency Drive Training

This 12-Hour Live Online VFD Variable Frequency Drive Training course will discuss application and installation issues related to motors, variable frequency drives and related automation products in three important sessions.

You can access the live online training through our web-based platform from your own computer. You can see and hear the instructor and see his screen live.

You can interact and ask questions. The cost of the training also includes 7 days of email mentoring with the instructor.

The 12-Hour live online Variable Frequency Drive Training course will conclude with an operating demostration that will illustrate the three types of equipment tied together into one system via communication cabling, as well as over air via radio transmission.

The VFD Variable Frequency Drive Training course will provide the delegates with a solid base of Motor, Drive and Automation theory. The course will also make delegates aware of issues concerning the proper application, installation and maintenance of these types of equipment. The material handouts will cover a wide range starting from the basics and moving on to more complex issues.
