Variable Speed Drives for Small and Medium Enterprises

Electrical and Power Engineering|3 days|Classroom or live online

Variable Speed Drives for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including motor control centres, substation operation and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because ageing plant is being asked to carry loads it was never specified for, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with cable fault location, variable speed drives and protection relays in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Review cable fault location and say plainly whether it is working, measured against recognised arc flash assessment practice
Spot where variable speed drives is failing before it becomes a finding
Bring protection relays into line with current good practice
Make a decision about load flow analysis without waiting for a specialist
