Program description:
This is a practical applications guide for contractors designed to reinforce the importance of knowing the capabilities of their pump system over their ability to program a VFD. We will examine site specific conditions that cause premature failure in pump systems, and how to control the outcome after you leave the job. We will also discuss how surge protection works, and, sometimes fails to work before ending the presentation with an explanation regarding the proper tools to test pump systems, VFDs, and grounding.
