COURSE OVERVIEW

It is estimated that electrical drives and other rotating equipment consume about 50% of the total electrical energy consumed in the world today. The cost of maintaining electrical motors can be a significant amount in the budget item of manufacturing, oil, gas, petrochemical and power industries. This course gives you a thorough understanding of electrical motor’s working, maintenance and failure modes and gives you the tools to maintain and troubleshoot electrical motors and variable speed drives.
This course is designed to provide delegates with an advanced overview of ABB VSDS controllers. It covers the importance and functions of variable speed drives (VSDs) including induction motors physical construction, motors physical equivalent circuit and VFD physical construction, components of ABB VSD, power electronics and test power electrics.
The course will also illustrate the electrical construction, operating principles of the ABB VSD, steps in receiving a new ABB VSD unit, checking before powering, loading the ABB VSD, ABB VSD operation, identifying the problems associated in the operation and troubleshooting procedures of the ABB VSD and maintenance.
