Allen Bradley VFD Training Course

 

The VFDTrainer Allen Bradley VFD Training Software is a tutorial on the AC frequency drive and related motor control troubleshooting. The variable speed drives explained (VFD controller operation) are commonplace in industrial AC motor speed controls and rotating equipment. This Allen Bradley VFD training course starts with how a Variable Frequency Drives works, wiring diagrams, to Allen Bradley VFD fault codes and troubleshooting. This Allen Bradley VFD Training Software has a final exam, laboratory manual, and the ability to print a Certificate of Completion. The course software also gives the learner access to the Powerflex 4 manual and other PDFs, as that is the model used most in the course.

VFD Training PDF

 

Course software includes a VFD course PDF Laboratory Manual. It consists of optional questions and one or more exercises for each of the six sections. This lab manual allows students to understand AC frequency drives and VFD operation better. Also included are Soft Start and VFD manufacturer manuals like the Powerflex 4. Content in the lab manual is optional for students/employees to take and pass this course.
 
Because this Allen Bradley VFD course starts from a beginner level and uses interactive animations to make learning easier, this course will also work for capable students without previous motor control experience. However, they should follow the recommended learning path at this page's bottom and take the Motor Controls course first.

 

The 30-page Lab Manual PDF is an excellent instructor aid.
