The 12-Hour live online Variable Frequency Drive Training course will conclude with an
operating demostration that will illustrate the three types of equipment tied together into one
system via communication cabling, as well as over air via radio transmission.
The VFD Variable Frequency Drive Training course will provide the delegates with a solid
base of Motor, Drive and Automation theory. The course will also make delegates aware of
issues concerning the proper application, installation and maintenance of these types of
equipment. The material handouts will cover a wide range starting from the basics and
moving on to more complex issues.
