In our recent blog post, we delved into the challenges associated with the introduction of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) into electrical systems. As a brief reminder, these challenges stem from the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), a fundamental aspect of VFD functionality. This waveform introduces complications such as voltage spikes, corona discharge, common mode voltage, and […]
Let’s kick this off with a quick reminder. Variable Frequency Drives, or VFDs, are electronic devices that control the operation of an electric motor by adjusting the frequency and voltage that the motor receives. They work by receiving the AC current from the power supply, converting it to DC then converting it back thanks to […]
