Variable Frequency Drive Cable Best Practices
Correcting common mistakes that affect performance and safety
BY PETER COX, Belden, Inc.
Most industrial operations today are looking for ways to reduce costs in these tough economic times. Variable-frequency drives (VFDs) are popular in many applications because they provide energy savings and a “more precise” control over the electric motor. Moreover, VFDs use sensitive communications data to control mechanical devices, allowing operators to increase precision, reduce waste, and increase motor life by reducing wear...
