Variable Frequency Drives in HVAC Systems


Approved for New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania Continuing Education Credits-One PDH

The VFD presentation will cover the following areas:
1. Brief review of common types of three phase motors and their components
2. Three phase motor torque characteristics
3. Discussion of constant and variable torque motor loads, typical applications, and the relationship of motor torque to current frequency
4. Review of typical and optional VFD components when applied in HVAC systems
5. Definition of pulse width modulation and explanation of the relationship between pulse width and motor speed
6. Definition of harmonics, the relationship of VFD's and harmonics and the design requirements needed to avoid harmonic induced power distribution problems
7. Common VFD applications concerns
