Program description:
We hear the word efficiency all around us but what does that mean? For water systems it means putting money back in your pocket every time you turn on the switch. This training covers an overview of permanent magnet (PM) motors along with the similarities and differences when compared to induction motors. You will learn what are the ideal applications for this technology and why. We will investigate VFD’s and how they’re necessary for PM technology but come with numerous benefits. Finally, we will examine some real-life case studies showing the PM technology and its success.
