This event will give attendees a deep dive into optimizing motor systems using advanced drive technologies and conversion strategies. Sessions will cover the differences between variable and constant torque applications, proper use of VFD-rated cable, and the role of filtering and harmonics in system performance. A technical discussion will explore the trade-offs between 6 Pulse, 18 Pulse, and Active Front End topologies for AC-DC conversion, offering guidance on selecting the best option based on efficiency, cost, and complexity. Attendees will also learn about the global impact of electric power costs, how drive technology influences performance and operational expenses, and the practical application of Affinity Laws. The program concludes with insights into drive economizing modes, energy-saving techniques through voltage reduction, and key considerations for sustainable and efficient motor control.
