How wide-bandgap transistors are making waves in the industry.
Motors
Motors are the most common source of power used by pumping systems. This technology is heavily regulated. Pumps by themselves are not variable speed, an option that many systems need to operate with peaks and ebbs during the run cycle, such as power generation. The addition of a variable frequency drive (VFD) gives it that capability.
New product design requirements may make some motors obsolete.
In part two of this two part series, Jim Elsey discusses potential issues with variable frequency drives.
Among these factors are humidity, ambient temperature, elevation, sun load and more.
