Is Induction Causing Your Mysterious VFD Problems?

When odd, unexplained VFD (variable frequency drive) problems have you baffled, electromagnetic induction issues could be at work. Induction usually occurs when low-voltage control wiring is run alongside high-voltage power wiring, which induces voltage into the control cables.  To avoid induction, high and low voltage cables should be separated by at least six inches in conduit and control cabinets, and it is important to use the right type of wire for specific applications.  

Wiring errors that cause induction are usually committed inadvertently by electrical contractors lacking controls knowledge. Controls wiring should always be entrusted to a building controls specialist like MSC who can ensure that installation is done properly from the outset to prevent frustrating anomalies down the line.
