CONTINUING EDUCATION:  ABB VIRTUAL TRAINING

We are huge proponents of continuing education.  In the commercial HVAC world, technology is changing. We, as system designers, building owners, engineers, facilities managers, and contractors, need to be sure that we stay abreast of current technology to make the best decisions to keep building occupants comfortable and healthy.

ABB is one of our manufacturing partners that has embraced online education with their HVAC Virtual Training Series.  They will host three sessions in September, all scheduled for 1pm Eastern Time on Wednesdays.

Trainings available this month include:

BASIC VFD TROUBLESHOOTING

Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are more advanced than ever before, but they have never been easier to troubleshoot.  But what happens when the control panel doesn't give you a clear indication of what is going on with the VFD?  This presentation covers the basic problems and nuisance trips that may be encountered with VFDs.  Safety comments and wiring tips will be covered.

UNDERSTANDING VFD DE-RATING

The term de-rating a drive implies that a VFD is intentionally oversized to be used in an application that requires less power. If a drive isn't properly oversized and de-rated when appropriate it can result in your your drive overheating or even premature failure! In this webinar, you will learn the different reasons why you would de-rate a drive as well as guidelines on how much the drive should be oversized by to ensure your VFD will work in your application for years to come.
