Monitoring VFD motor current
Monitoring VFD motor current
(OP)
Can anyone give me a few good reasons for monitoring the current on a 5HP motor with VFD? What useful information could be obtained relative to motor condition? We own a Baker Instrument Company Motor Performance Monitor Explorer II Series. Thanks!

I do not know details about the device from Baker but you should be aware that operation of a motor from an inverter differs significantly from operation from the line. So unless your monitor has not been designed for that kind of duty you will not get useful results. If your monitor is designed for that purpose the manual should explain what information could be obtained.
