NOVEMBER  PRESENTATION
“ The Great Turkey Givaway”

Presented by:

Fife-Pearce Electric

 

TOPIC

Problems and Fixes of Variable Frequency Drives

 

The new AEGIS iPRO Bearing Protection Ring provides high current bearing protection for large motors and generators.  High frequency shaft voltages over 600 volts with currents over 60 amps cause motor and generator bearing failures.  The AEGIS iPRO Conductive MicroFiber Bearing Protection Ring reduces maintenance and prevents catastrophic electrical discharge machining bearing failure by safely channeling harmful currents to ground.  Using proprietary Electron Transport Technology the conductive microfibers inside the AEGIS iPRO provide the path of least resistance for damaging bearing currents.  This process prevents electrical damage to motor and generator bearings dramatically extending their operating life.
