Training Applications for the Electrical Controls Industry
VFD Basics Training
The VFD Trainer uses Allen Bradley VFD PowerFlex as example.
This VFD Basics training software uses the Allen Bradley VFD PowerFlex. Still, the learner can apply the variable frequency drive basics taught to ABB VFD, Siemens VFD, or any other brand's VFD working principle. They all operate on the same basic variable frequency drive theory. This variable frequency drive basics training software is interactive and has real-world simulations.
Simulates Allen Bradley VFD Powerflex HMI, requiring the user to go through tasks step by step.
The VFD Basics Training (VFDTrainer) Software includes the following units of instruction.
AC Motor Basics
Variable Frequency Drive Basics
VFD Working Principle and Operation
VFD Control
VFD Installation
VFD Start-up
Soft Starter working principle
Troubleshooting VFD Drives

This VFD basics training software also includes ...
The first section of the VFD Basics training software starts with AC Motor Basics. Here, the course introduces the learner to various types of AC motors, the AC motor basics of voltage, speed, power factor, torque, motor starting methods, etc.
The course's Variable Frequency, Drive Basics section uses the variable frequency drive tutorial pictured here to teach how VFD works.
The software has a quick, easy-access button for the Powerflex VFD manual to help with learning to troubleshoot. Plus, additional screens in the VFD Working Principle and Operation section organize operational parameters to help you with startups. It helps you better make sense of all the VDF parameters.
Interactive pictorials explain the VFD working principles.
Interactive and animated pictorials teach Variable frequency drive theory, like this screenshot about VFD dynamic braking from the VFD Control section.
The variable frequency drive tutorial screenshot to the right shows that the VFD installation section even covers CE Compliance.
Hardwiring like VFD-cable termination is also covered in the extensive VFD installation section.
Also, the Motor Soft Starter is covered.
Of course, as with all the Koldwater electrical controls training, there is the troubleshooting section. Troubleshooting VFD drives will explain all their pesky fault codes.
