In the first half of this course, we will cover the installation, basic setup, and basic operation of Variable Frequency Drives. In the second half of this course, we will delve into the more advanced features, and we will go much deeper into the parameter settings. Learning the basics takes roughly 2 hours. The videos are short, and the information is delivered in a crisp and clear manner.

By the end of this course, you will know how to install, program, and operate most VFDs.

Course layout:

Module 1: VFD layout, Pulse Width Modulation, and VFD basics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
