This course will highlight the proper installation of Variable Frequency Drives, including compliance with NEC 250 grounding and bonding requirements for safety. VFDs are being installed more frequently today; however there are still several installations with VFD Issues being ignored or incorrectly being addressed. Examples of improper installations will be discussed to indicate potential problems that can cause damaging consequences.
This course will provide an overview on the Distribution System from the Point of Common Coupling (Incoming Utility Power Connection Point), including large interconnections like the New England Clean Power Link project that influence system design, right down to the connection location of the motor(s). The student will be made aware of all the installation guidelines, including applicable grounding guidelines and best practices, needed to ensure a successful installation of VFDs.
As a special bonus, several technical papers and information on VFD operation and issues, including lightning protection systems considerations for facilities will be provided on a disc for the student to use as a reference source for covered course material.
All issues related to VFD and Motor installations will be presented with recommended solutions that align with substation maintenance training principles used across utilities. Students will work their way through a typical distribution system and discuss related issues or concerns, including electrical storm safety tips that inform field preparedness, at various points in the system.
