HELUKABEL: Update - VFD Cable Design Requirements
The variable frequency drive (VFD) cable business has become a very large market for cable manufactures in the last 20 years. In the past, standard AC motors had the complexity of a squirrel cage motor – just get power and it would run. The first silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) was developed by Bell Labs/GE in 1958 to vary the...

Yaskawa Solution Centre Monthly Focus
Basic Setup for a PID Loop on a GA800, GA500, A1000, P1000, U1000, Z1000 and V1000 Series Drives
From Yaskawa
Most Yaskawa drives are capable of differential feedback, which requires two transducers. The drive essentially takes the differential feedback value, which is PID Adjusted Feedback (U5-06), and incorporates it into the PID loop. This kind of application could be used for buildings that require a certain differential pressure between two rooms, to prevent issues with doors from opening and closing. One transducer would be measuring the static pressure of a room, while the secondary transducer would measure the pressure of an adjacent room. The drive will use the differential feedback value to maintain the desired differential pressure between the two rooms.

Lafert North America Answers Your Motor Questions - Monthly Focus
How Do I Properly Hook Up my Brake Motor?
Presented by Lafert North America
Lafert’s offering of brake motors provide the option of wiring the electro-mechanical brake for simultaneous operation with the motor or separately by supplying a suitable separate power feed for the brake coil. The AF and AMBZ models are furnished with three phase brake coils, with a separate terminal block in the connection box to power the brake. This allows the installer to put jumpers from the motor block to the brake’s block for simultaneous operation (i.e. when power is shut off for the motor, the brake engages at the same time to stop the motor) or the installer also has the option of providing a separate power feed for the brake coil only.
