Join PMI for a deep dive into Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) from a utility perspective. Learn about the electrical architecture of a VFD, discover the power quality (PQ) problems caused by VFDs, and their sensitivities to PQ.
Recommendations are given for troubleshooting VFD problems and minimizing utility effects on VFD performance.
