    Altivar 71 VFD Question

    Hi, There is a parameter on the HMI screen that reads Input Kw and is a live figure as far as I can see as it moves up and down. Does this figure give the overall KW usage on the circuit ie can this figure can be used as your consumption figure or cost figure? Any help is appreciated, Thomas

    Where to record values on VFD Circuit

    Hi there, I am trying to determine the actual Kw cost of a motor being run via a VFD. Where is the best place to measure the values I and V as there is differnces on the incoming supply to the load side of the VFD? Thanks in advance. Thomas

    Olflex Cable Over-heating

    Hi, We are using a 4 * 50mm Olflex cable from a VFD via a Field switch Isolator to a HVAC Fan motor. The motor is running at 130amps Full Load Current. We are experiencing very high temps at this field Isolator and I was wondering if anyone has come across this issue before with this cable...

    HVAC Static Pressure Issue

    Hello there, Let me give a brief history of the issue: Our HVAC runs at 900 pascals supply static pressure set-point and our supply fan maintains this just fine. At irregular intervals however we have a sudden dip in pressure of roughly 50 pa and the fan will ramp up to counteract and it will...

    How often should belt tension be checked?

    Hello, Just curious as to the intervals of checks on belts are for different plants. We run HVAC units on belt systems 24/7 on motors on average of 75kw and we have an interval of 6 months. I'm beginning to suspect this is not ample as we are experiencing belt failures. Kind regards, Thomas

    Help with 3 phase motor running at max. rated current

    Hello All, I have a three phase VFD driven delta motor running at 375volts at roughly 1,350 rpm and 45 hertz. The problem I have though is the current is running at 130amps while its full load is 131amps. Could I have a problem with motor burn-out with this high current. The motor and fan are...
