Electrical Bearing Protection for Pulp & Paper Mills
Wednesday, April 17, 2024
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
In paper mills, variable frequency drives are used control the motors driving all manner of pumps and fans, grinders, winders, re-winders, and more. But without protective measures, VFDs can cause electrical bearing damage, leading to premature equipment failure and even unplanned downtime.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Variable speed/torque applications in pulp/paper mills
- The risk of VFD-sourced shaft voltages, bearing current, and electrical bearing damage
- Bearing frosting, fluting, & failure
- Detection of motor shaft voltages
- Shaft grounding best practices for bearing protection of AC & DC motors
