Explore the concept, working, and practical use of variable frequency drives (VFD) to control three-phase motors, reduce start current, and protect and monitor equipment across elevators, pumps, and cranes.
Identify vfd power terminals r s t (l1 l2 l3) or single-phase l1 l2, and note outputs are always three-phase, with brake resistor and dynamic brake unit.
Explore multifunction input terminals, bnp and input configurations, b1/b2 connections, 24 v supplies, analog input 0-10 v and 4-20 mA, plus analog outputs and transistor/relay outputs for vfd control.
Mastering VFD operation shows how to choose command sources, using keypad for forward, reverse, and stop. It explains configuring control terminals to drive a motor at 60 Hz with deceleration.
Learn how a variable frequency drive uses acceleration and deceleration times to ramp frequency and voltage, with practical examples like five seconds up and twenty seconds down.
Analyze acceleration and deceleration settings, explore maximum frequency, and observe practical ramp times from zero to 60 hertz and back.
Explain the v/f pattern theory, showing how voltage scales with frequency to set base frequency and rated voltage, and warn how altering them affects torque, load handling, and motor insulation.
Learn dwell theory by holding a predefined frequency at a set level for a defined time, including during acceleration and deceleration, with concepts like FDA and TDI.
Demonstrates a dwell demo on a dual-function vfd: set 10 hertz, hold five seconds, apply five hertz deceleration for three seconds, then ramp to 20 hertz and return to zero.
Learn how motor free-run or coast mode works when a stop command is issued, as output voltage drops and the motor spins down on its own momentum, with practical examples.
Auto tuning measures motor characteristics by applying voltage to derive model details such as resistance and inductance, and skipping tuning can degrade performance and increase mechanical stress in vector control.
Explore a pid demo showing how feedback error from the target drives pump speed, with wake up and sleep logic, demand-based pressure control, and safety actions for sensor loss.
Learn how vector control uses encoder feedback to create a closed-loop motor system that delivers precise speed and high torque, with setup, tuning, and parameter management for elevators and cranes.
Learn to maintain a desired torque with a vfd by adjusting speed via vector control, encoder feedback, or sensorless methods, and perform auto tuning to set the target torque.
Explore analog output in VFD control. Learn how the output can be scaled to 0-10 V or 4-20 mA, with frequency mapping and parameter options to display or drive equipment.
This lecture explains motor protection parameters in VFDs, including overload and under-load protections, input-output protections, and envelope protection. It demonstrates configuring thresholds, trip delays, and deceleration or free run actions.
This VFD course covers the functions of major modern VFDs. In my course I am using LSIS VFD (LS brand is derived from LG Company). The contents included in this course is related to Hardware, installation, theoretical, Start/Stop options, functions (basic & advance), IOs, Protection parameters and Diagnostics.
In any VFD there can be 100+ functions. Not all are relevant! my practical experience allowed me to hand-pick the function which I ever used in my career.
Why I made this course? I didn't wanted my experience to just stick with me, neither I wish to die with it, I wanted to deliver. So, once you will have to work on VFD (especially LSIS brand), I will be able to provide big help, from installation guide to commissioning. In a way you all will be helpful to me, for my growth.
How can I help? Once you are done with the course, and you might be looking forward for some advice, so I will be able to communicate. Since your completion of course will enable us to understand terms. I can provide detailed stuff which will include parameters and
Are all VFDs same? Generally unless the VFD is designed for special application have same concepts and mostly common function. The reason I choose LS VFD is because there drives are economical, and easy to read (thanks to keypad) which shows descriptive functions.
Which brand I will be using? LSIS
What If course is NOT what I am look for? In that case you have 30 days payback guarantee, please claim refund.
What If I do not understand certain topic or there is some topic which need more elaboration? You can always contact me for that, and I will be happy to give more details. If I feel that I should add content, I will create and add.
What is not included in this course? I didn't included Permanent Magnet Motor Drives, I also didn't included Multi-Motor function, and neither Solar panel based VFD solution. These each topic deserves a separate course. However, if you are facing these applications, I will help you with parameters and tips.
