Motors, Drives and Automation Systems: Installation, Application and Maintenance

Motors, Drives and Automation Systems: Installation, Application and Maintenance

Description

This technical training will discuss application and installation issues related to motors, variable frequency drives and related automation products in three concurrent sessions.

The training will provide the delegates with a solid base of Motor, Drive and Automation theory. The training will also make delegates aware of issues concerning the proper application, installation and maintenance of these types of equipment. The material handouts will cover a wide range starting from the basics and moving on to more complex issues.
