Questions asked include:
What are ways that bearings could deteriorate in a pump system?
How does a VFD system work, especially as it relates to anything creating parasitic voltages across the bearings?
How do bearings resist this voltage?
What are some examples of current passing through the bearing as well as the resulting damage?
What are some common approaches to minimizing risks for bearing damage?
