  • Troubleshoot and test Variable Frequency Drive. Teardown, and attempted repair of a VFD. This is what replaced a phase converter in your home shop conversion. How it works and why you must never connect it backwards!

    As I am currently watching my wife and both cats are intently viewing and taking notes. AND she knows what a VFD is.

    I work on VSDs (Variable Speed as apposed to Variable Frequency) daily. Just had an electrician hook up one of my drives backwards last week. 480V Shorted the IGBTs and Cross-phased. We were standing in front of the cabinet and the door must have mushroomed out 6 inches. Oops, that's a $15000 mistake. Usually I double check everything but he assured me everything was good to chooch...

    Heya, another girl that finds your vids and sense of humour entertaining. I also often find myself watching big Clive's channel. We are out there;-)

    GOODNESS, here I clicked through thinking this was some new-fangled content; wound up going for one hell of a nostalgia trip. And it's only been 8 years watching this channel before I finally figured out what-the-fuck AvE actually
