Variable Frequency Drives Training Workshop

Update: July 2020: VFD Training Courses

We have suspended all in person workshops, due to the pandemic. But all of these have now been replaced by easy, self paced e-learning VFD training courses, that you can take online. They are NOT videos of a professor speaking or a simple power point presentation. Abhisam courses are real fledged e-learning courses with text, animations, simulations, real life examples and calculations, exercises, videos and more. Plus earn a Certificate of Competency and an electronic badge, when you pass the associated exam , that can be displayed online on LinkedIn.

April 26, 2017– Abhisam is pleased to announce a practical cum theory training workshop on AC Variable Frequency Drives at their Thane training center in Thane, India. The workshop will include both the theory and practical applications involving this technology. Led by industry experts with decades of experience in engineering, installation and maintenance of these systems, this is an opportunity not to be missed at all! The batch size is restricted to only 15 participants, on a first come first served basis. It will be conducted over two days in May 2017. Please contact sales@abhisam.com to enroll.

Known by alternate names such as VFD, Variable Speed Drives and Inverter Drives, this technology has become very popular, but there is a lot of knowledge gap between the state of the art today and what is taught as part of courses/curriculums at the college/university level. Engineers and technicians today need to understand not only how these VFDs work, they must also be able to do the following

  • Understand the unique characteristics of the  type of load (maybe pumps, fans, blowers, conveyors, hoists, belts and so on)
  • Understand which AC Motor and Drive combination can work best for the application
  • Make specifications and/or understand specifications made by the client/user
  • Select the most suitable drive based on above
  • Plan the control architecture, panel layout, functionality of the drive and input/output of the power and signal cables, connect the drive to other industrial systems like SCADA or PLC/DCS via Serial or MODBUS interfaces
  • Install and correctly configure the drive (parameterization)
  • Commission the drive
  • Troubleshoot problems

This one of a kind workshop will enable the participant to do all this and more!

Just get this Confined Space Safety e-learning course today and get trained in working safely in confined spaces.

Note that it includes all the knowledge that you need to have to know how to work safely in confined spaces.

Can I not get this information free from elsewhere?

There is a  common myth  “Just Google it”

It is a myth that you can simply Google for Confined Space   information and get everything that you need to know.

Most likely you will get a large number of occupational safety articles and information, some videos, some power point slides, but much of the information may be in bits and pieces.

While you can get some basic information about confined space safety from these sources, it may not be complete. Even if you do find enough material, it will take you a long time to sequence it all together in one coherent document that makes sense to you.

Even after doing all this there is a possibility that you may not get what you really need to know from an OSHA compliance perspective

Plus you will spend several hours of your time doing all this for zero returns on your investment!

On the other hand, when you take this Abhisam Confined Space safety course, you know that

    1.  It is very carefully made, with subject matter experts in the field of Occupational Safety, Process Safety & Industrial operations who have spent decades in the actual field creating permit systems, investigating incidents and streamlining methods to reduce or eliminate confined space safety accidents.
    2. Utilizes easy graphics, animations and simulations, real life examples of dos and donts, correct and incorrect practices  that enable you to understand everything easily.
    3.  Earn a Certificate when you pass the associated exam and also get an electronic badge that can be displayed online on places such as LinkedIn. Get Noticed.

Can I not simply buy a book? That will be much cheaper!

Of course, you could always pass this up and decide to go for  buy a book on this topic,

but,

remember that there are some disadvantages with this approach

    1.  The first is that not a single book is available  that covers all the topics that you need to know. On the other hand, there will be many books on general workplace safety, occupational safety, permit systems, that may be relevant to only those working in normal workplaces, not those having confined spaces.
    2.  Some of these books may be outdated and obsolete.
    3.  Nobody gives you a certificate if you simply read a book!
