Variable Speed Drivers

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

Our “Online” training course offers you the flexibility to complete the program at your own pace, making it convenient for your schedule. You can choose to take the course entirely online or with real-time interaction with an instructor. 

This course leans more towards theoretical concepts compared to face-to-face training, primarily due to its online delivery format. However, a hybrid approach with occasional classroom visits may be available.s

Who the course is for

Trades, maintenance and engineering staff working with Industrial Drives.

What you'll learn

Learning outcomes and curriculum are generally aligned with international Industry requirements and include the following: –

  • Understanding the main characteristics of AC motors and drives.
  • Understanding VSD principles of operation.
  • Becoming familiar with applications for VSDs – Pumps, Fans, Conveyors etc.
  • Comprehending the fundamentals of power electronics.
  • Understanding communication options for VSDs such as Profibus and Ethernet TCP/IP.
  • Connecting a VSD to a controlling PLC system.
  • Parameterising a VSD for an application.
  • Understanding and parameterising motor management devices, e.g. E300, Simocode, Tesys-T etc.
  • Quickly tracing faults via PLC and HMI application software.
  • Understanding grounding and filtering requirements.
  • Troubleshooting typical drive faults including the interpretation of fault codes using the vendor’s application software.

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.
