Episode 9: VFD Options to Meet IEEE 519 Standards with Chuck Fernandez of Siemens

Chuck Fernandez, Siemens product manager for low voltage enclosed drives, joins the Pumps & Systems podcast to talk variable frequency drive (VFD) options to meet IEEE 519 standards. What is the best drive technology to ensure compliance with IEEE Std. 519 in municipal pumping projects? There’s no simple answer. Each situation and application is different. Fernandez explains the differences and benefits of five different technologies including active front end (AFE) and 18 pulse. It is aimed at the end user and EPC engineers who are seeking to apply VFDs in these critical applications.
