This short course provides general but pertinent information on inverter duty motors. This course is intended for engineers in general and can be helpful for electrical engineers as well. It provides general information about inverter duty motors and related aspects. This information may be most suitable for engineers who want to become familiar with or intend to make use of variable frequency drives or inverter duty motors.

The information gained from this course will help an engineer apply the right approach and avoid equipment mismatch. The information is presented in concise and general terms that most engineers are expected to be familiar with. Technical details or mathematical formulas are avoided so that the ideas are covered in a simple manner. This course is not to be considered as comprehensive and is intended to be a refresher or introductory course.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Define an inverter-duty motor and identify applications in which inverter-duty construction is warranted.
• Differentiate major inverter-duty motor types and their operating characteristics.
• Compare inverter-duty motors with standard AC induction motors in terms of features, benefits, and application limitations.
• Specify key considerations for selecting an inverter-duty motor for a variable-frequency drive application.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
