55:06Designing Cleaner Cooling Plants: A New VFD Topology for Data Centres
Harmonics have become a front-line problem in data-center cooling design. In this session with Canadian Consulting Engineer, SmartD CEO Simon Leblond walks consulting engineers through where VFDs create harmonics, what IEEE 519 actually requires at the point of common coupling, and the trade-offs of conventional mitigation.He then introduces a new SiC-based, filterless VFD topology — the SmartD Clean Power VFD — that cleans both the line and motor side at once, removing external filter cabinets while simplifying the single-line and the specification. The webinar closes with what this means for your spec, your retrofits, and real data-center deployments.
48:13The VFD Without the Trade-Off
Most water and wastewater plants still start pumps, blowers and aeration motors across the line — not because VFDs don't save energy, but because a conventional retrofit drags in harmonic studies, sine-wave and dV/dt filters, cable-length limits, motor derating and electrical-room space nobody has. Those line items, not the drive itself, are what keep the upgrade off the priority list.In this Pumps & Systems webinar, SmartD CEO Simon Leblond and national sales director Josh Sinanan reframe that decision for municipal operators, superintendents and the engineers who specify for them — using a silicon-carbide (SiC) drive that delivers a pure, filterless sine wave, keeps current harmonics below 5% THDi, and runs standard motors and cables with no external filter cabinets.
43:21Selling the Clean Power VFD — Partner Sales Training
A partner sales training on how to position and sell the SmartD Clean Power VFD — a low-harmonic, filterless variable frequency drive with an integrated active front end (AFE) and silicon-carbide (SiC) technology. The session walks channel partners and distributors through recognizing customer pain points, spotting VFD opportunities, and handling common objections.It covers the technical advantages that make the Clean Power VFD easy to sell: no external harmonic or sine-wave filters, unlimited motor cable length, standard motors and cables on retrofits, IEEE 519 compliance, generator- and UPS-friendly operation, and motors that run roughly 10% cooler.
38:13Vendre le VFD Clean Power — Formation partenaires
Une formation à la vente du Clean Power VFD de SmartD : comment positionner et vendre un variateur de fréquence (VFD) à faibles harmoniques et sans filtre, doté d'un redresseur actif (AFE) intégré et de la technologie au carbure de silicium (SiC). La session accompagne les partenaires et distributeurs pour reconnaître les problèmes des clients, repérer les occasions d'installation et répondre aux objections courantes.Elle couvre les avantages techniques qui facilitent la vente : aucun filtre harmonique ou sinusoïdal externe, longueur de câble moteur illimitée, moteurs et câbles standards en rétrofit, conformité IEEE 519, fonctionnement compatible génératrice/UPS et moteurs qui tournent environ 10 % plus froids.
7:51Boost Pump Lifespan and Efficiency with the Clean Power VFD
A short webinar on why traditional PWM-based VFDs cause overheating, motor damage and bearing failure in pump applications — and how the SmartD Clean Power VFD does it differently.Its true sine-wave output eliminates the need for external filters, lowers motor temperatures and extends pump lifespan, delivering quieter, more reliable performance with low harmonics and superior power quality. Part of the webinar series created with Pumps & Systems.
8:36Boost Pump Lifespan and Efficiency — Part 2
Part 2 of the Boost Pump Lifespan and Efficiency series goes into the lab results behind the Clean Power VFD.See the hard data on how SmartD minimizes harmonics and voltage spikes, how long-cable applications are handled with ease, and the real-world validation of its filterless, SiC-based VFD technology.
