This online 3-day training course will give you the comprehensive knowledge and understanding to safely and effectively work on motor control circuits and VFD installations. Real World Simulation based, it will give your staff the knowledge and skills to troubleshoot motors, motor control systems, troubleshoot and program a variety of VFD’s.
A distillation of the most important parts of our 5 day Lab supported hands-on training, you will learn the essential tests and diagnosis of faulted three phase motors and solid state drives and starting systems, using software labs and simulations.
We cover VFD’s from ABB, Allen-Bradley, Cutler-Hammer, Danfoss, Eaton, Mitsubishi, Sinamic, Telemecanique, Delta, Hitachi, Honeywell, Omron, Teco-Westinghouse, Trane, Weg and Yaskawa.
Hydraulics are also included and we teach your workers how to program constant and variable torque loads with the capability to measure pressure, flow, overload each system and cavitate the pumps.
This broad exposure will give your workers the competence to open the manual for any VFD, set the required parameters and analyze problems. Your systems can also be integrated into this program at no extra cost to you, please prior to the course send us the details of your common site VFD's.
It is common for workers to recognize current problems and realize opportunities for improvements to their systems during this training. We are ISO 9001 certified and authorized to provide CEU’s for this training. Since 1980 we have trained over 35,000 students.
Special attention is also provided to the dangers of VFD’s and how to work with them safely.

"Good course for electricians with little to no experience with VFD's and Motor Troubleshooting."
Parry Arnell, West Fraser"Excellent instruction, I feel more comfortable operating a variety of VFD's. The motor control troubleshooting was a good refresher."
Tyler Gelowitz, SUEZ Canada WasteIt was a very helpful course on the basics of how to read through VFD, setting parameters, and making changes.
Andre Wysman, Groves Memorial Community Hospital"This course gives me better knowledge of setting up new VFD's that I wasn't familiar with. I feel more confident with taking a new VFD and programming in the necessary inputs and operating units."
Brian Ethier, Enbridge Pipelines"This course gives me a better knowledge of setting up new VFD's that I wasn't familiar with. I feel more confident with taking a new VFD and programming in the necessary inputs and operating units. Thanks Jim!!
Brian Ethier, EnbridgeA very excellent course that was explained well and very informative.
Adam Remisch, Groves Memorial Community Hospital"This was a great presentation that encouraged participation and hands on training. They also covered a variety of VFD's. The instructors gave you the time needed to go through topics.
Aideen Gama, Nestle Waters Canada"Good course, good instructor. The VFD testing and oscilloscope monitoring was very useful. The faulty VFD testing and analysis was very interesting.
Vasiliy Kornienko, Aggreko Canada"I learnt a lot in this course. I came into it with very limited VFD experience, I feel that I am able to troubleshoot and repair VFD problems without any help now."
Chris Hamm, LP Peace Valley OSB"This course was great to expand knowledge of VFD's and their functions. Learning how they are built and how they work is beneficial in knowing how to troubleshoot and diagnose. Having a variety of makes and models of VFD's to learn on helps expand knowledge of what to look for when installing and troubleshooting...
Dan Kemmere, Tykem Electric Ltd."Very good instructor. Great stories relevant to training. A lot of hands on experience where the instructor would help to guide me through the course without "helping too much". I will recommend to co-workers.
Scott MacLeod, City of Red Deer"Very well put together. I learned a lot about multiple VFD's, mainly the basics of programming them and setting up simple operations. I found it valuable to be able to work through many brands of VFD's.
