Webinar participants will learn how to significantly improve pump systems reliability when using variable speed drives. The series covers how VSDs may be used to accommodate duty cycles with variable flow and head as well as applications to avoid. Energy optimization, life cycle reduction, single-phase to three-phase power conversion and inrush current reduction will be discussed in the series.
The schedule for the variable speed drives four-part webinar series is:
· Session 1 – Intro 101, September 9, 1-2 p.m. EDT
· Session 2 – Application & Installation Considerations, September 11, 1–2 p.m. EDT
· Session 3 – Protection for VFD and Proper Output, September 16, 1-2 p.m. EDT
