Exclusively at BEMAS

In this training, you will learn how high-frequency problems arise in electric motors controlled by frequency converters. You will gain insight into the interaction between motor and drive, the impact of frequency control, and how machines respond to high-frequency signals. In addition, you will discover how to recognize, measure, and solve bearing currents and stray currents.

Programme

1. Interaction between motors and drives
Understand the complex interaction between electric motors and frequency converters (drives). Learn how the drive influences the motor and which problems may arise from this interaction.

2. High-frequency machine problems
High-frequency problems in electric motors can cause damage and failures. Learn how these problems manifest in machines and what impact they have on performance and lifetime.

3. Recognising bearing currents and stray currents
Bearing currents and stray currents cause unwanted effects in electric motors. Learn how to identify these currents, measure their impact, and take effective countermeasures.

4. Solutions for high-frequency problems
Tackle high-frequency problems in electric motors. Learn about solutions to eliminate these issues and extend the lifetime of your machines.

Who is this training for?

For specialists who diagnose and solve complex failures in electric motors.
