Course Description
Variable Frequency/speed drives are devices used for varying the speed of driven equipment (such as pumps, blowers, compressors, conveyors etc.) to exactly match the process requirements and achieve energy saving as well. For an electrical engineer, it is just not sufficient to be satisfied with selecting the right type and size of motor. The knowledge of driven equipment and the application in the process areas, in fact, offer equal opportunities for the energy conservation.
Pumps, fans and compressors are the most commonly found equipment in varied types of industries and commercial use. On an average the power consumed by pumps alone varies between 5-30 % depending on the type of industry & applications. There is tremendous energy saving opportunity for achieving substantial energy savings through variable Frequency drives in these applications.
