The guide unravels these sometimes complicated issues.
The 40-page guide considers many aspects including basic specification, safe mechanical and electrical installation - specifically oriented to current UK practice - and helps the reader avoid EMC problems.
It covers motors and inverters installed with separate cabling systems.
However, it is not wholly applicable to motors with integrated inverters.
Split into 10 intuitive sections, including mechanical installation, electrical installation, EMC issues and problems, it also provides a glossary of terms, key European directives and principle associated standards as well as a number of FAQs.
The 'Installation guide for power drive systems' has been created from information gathered in a study carried out by Gambica and Rema.
It takes note of well established fundamental theory, technical papers and specific investigations.
The information in the guide, while being applicable to motors and inverters in general, is specific to current-generation products of member companies.
The guide is suitable for those unfamiliar with power drive systems as well as experienced engineers, who need easy-to-read, quick and accurate information at their fingertips.
