Adjustable Speed Drives
- Understand the operation, installation, and setup for an alternating current (AC) motor drive.
Controlling motor speeds to load requirements can increase both the efficiency and performance of a motor installation.
The primary function of any electronic adjustable-speed drive is to control the
speed, torque, acceleration, deceleration, and direction of rotation of a machine.
- Understand the operation, installation, and setup for a direct current (DC) motor drive.
Harmonics are high-frequency voltage and current distortions within the power system normally caused by nonlinear loads that do not have a constant current draw, but rather draw current in pulses.
DC electronic variable-speed drives vary the speed of DC motors with greater efficiency and speed regulation than resistor control circuits
- Understand the operation, installation, and setup for PLC motor control.
