Webinar: Harmonics Behind the Wave: Making Sense of VFD Impacts

Unpack the mysteries of harmonics in Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). From what harmonics are to why utilities care, this webinar dives into overlooked aspects like high-order harmonics, “base harmonics,” and system impacts. Get clear insights into this often misunderstood topic with practical guidance and expert analysis.

Join Simon Leblond, who is an innovation enthusiast, and also happens to be the CEO and co-founder of SmartD Technologies, the company behind the Clean Power VFD. Before launching his crusade to nearly eliminate harmonics and revolutionize the VFD market, Simon helped launch a few companies, brought a number of technologies to market, and mentored start-up entrepreneurs. Now, with his expertise in motor control and his entrepreneurial mindset, he leads SmartD in redefining what’s possible in the VFD world.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

  • A clear understanding of harmonics and their impact on VFD systems
  • The hidden risks of high THD and how it damages equipment
  • How the Clean Power VFD eliminates the need for filters, saving you time and money
