AC Inverter Drives (Application and Maintenance)

OBJECTIVES Manufacturers of inverter drives report that of the units returned to them as faulty, up to 80% do not reveal any defects. Such returns are more a result of incorrect programming and/or fault diagnosis by maintenance personnel. This comprehensive course is designed to counter such difficulties by enabling the maintenance engineer to correctly set up, maintain and carry out effective fault-finding on inverter drive systems. Unlike some product-specific courses, this course is substantially generic-effectively covering most of the variable speed drive systems found in industry today and providing a thorough understanding of drive operation within the context of industrial systems.   OBJECTIVES Participants will be able to :

• Properly Matching A Drive to A Machine
• Choosing the Correct Motor
• Choosing the Best Type of Drive
• Identify & Correct Drive System Problems
• Identify & Test Major Drive Components
• Perform Start-Up of an AC Drive
• Program & Adjust the Drive for Desired Operation

OUTLINE COURSE

• Evolution of adjustable speed drives
• AC & DC electrical terminology
• AC motor theory
• Choosing the correct motor
• AC drive (VFD) theory
• AC drive terminology
• AC drive applications with discussion of various types of drives including vector drives
• Properly matching a drive to a machine
• Benefits of over-speeding motors
• Typical application mistakes & pitfalls
• Mechanical theory: horsepower & torque
• Basic AC & DC electrical theory for drives
• Transformer basics
• AC motor theory with NEMA nameplate definitions
• Semiconductor theory and diode rectifiers with lab
• Examination, theory, and testing the major AC drive components including the input rectifier, soft-charge resistor, buss capacitors, and output transistors
• Examination of AC drive construction
• Common error codes and solutions
• Diagnosing drive problems
• Recommended drive start-up procedure
• Hands-on AC drive and motor operation and programming

  PARTICIPANT Suitable for anyone who is required to maintain or configure inverter drives (electricians, instrument technicians, etc). Whilst a knowledge of basic electrical principles is desirable, no prior knowledge of motor theory or electronics is necessary.
