Improved design for a cooler VFD Enclosure
How innovative VFD enclosure design is helping to manage heat. VFD enclosure heat is typically managed through tried and tested means such as forced ventilation, moving heat sinks to the exterior (through back panel) or other means such as air conditioning. Each of these are viable solutions, though environmental and operational considerations may impact suitability.…
A thermal audit of electrical enclosures can be revealing. Statistically three out of ten enclosures are too hot for the power electronics and controls inside them. But this can be easily remedied with the addition of thermal cooling systems. The trick is identifying your problem areas quickly and efficiently, which brings us to the thermal…
On average 3 out of 10 enclosures require thermal cooling. Why be concerned with thermal management of electrical enclosures? Based on statistics, 30% of operating systems are being heat stressed, resulting in poor performance, premature failure, and erratic operation. Nuisance drive tripping often comes to mind when thinking about enclosure heat, but the problem…
