For all their energy savings and control benefits, when VFDs fail, they bring motor-driven industrial operations to a dead stop. To avoid such situations, savvy engineers ensure drive-system ...
Variable frequency drives have an Achilles Heel. Even though the VFD itself is protected against damaging electrical conditions, the drive's power cables can fail when subjected to heat or voltage ...
This article presents a reference design for driving a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) using the MAX15005 power-supply controller in a flyback topology. The design obtains multiple output voltages ...
The use of variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to control ac motors has increased dramatically in recent years. In addition to their low operating cost and high performance, they save energy. Today, the ...
A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) regulates the speed of a 3-phase AC electric motor by controlling the frequency and voltage of the power it delivers to the motor. These devices, also known as ...
Dublin, Feb. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Market by Type (AC, DC, Servo), End-users (Industrial, Infrastructure, Oil & Gas, Power Generation), Application ...
This application note introduces a variety of Allegro current sensors used for voltage isolation in variable frequency drives. These current sensors help achieve high isolation ratings that meet ...
Lutze is expanding its Driveflex VFD cable offering to include a 2kV option. The cable features a 7.5 OD bending radius and its symmetrical ground design reduces stray currents in the motor shaft and ...
It is interesting to look at figures from the Energy Information Administration about where energy gets consumed in our economy. These figures reveal that industrial uses account for 31% of all energy ...
