Preventing VFD/AC Drive Induced Electrical Damage To AC Motor Bearings
Date: March 13, 2008
Electro Static Technology’s White Paper focuses on mitigating the variable frequency drive- (VFD-) induced shaft currents that can be extremely damaging to motor bearings, and a new technology that employs a circumferential ring of conductive micro fibers to discharge harmful currents and provide a low-cost solution to the problem.
