Variable Speed Drives (VSDs)
VSDs are electronic systems that control the speed and torque of electric motors, typically by varying the voltage & frequency (vvvf) to the motor. Our VSD courses are designed to enable your personnel involved in the installation and maintenance of VSDs to configure, maintain and fault find the drive system.

about this course format
Our “Face to Face” training courses offer engaging, instructor-led sessions in a traditional classroom environment. Participants enjoy the benefits of being part of a small workgroup, which encourages interactive learning and provides personalised attention to technical topics that can be based on your ‘site specific’ assets and requirements.
This method of training can provide a faster route to achieving specific competences in a particular subject area, particularly if it integrates your employer site policies and procedures.
