Variable speed drives branch out as a segment of motor controllers. The frequency of the drives is directly proportional to the speed of the motor. These drives are used to control the frequency (measured in RPM) to meet the requirements of the electric motor’s load. Variable speed drives help in motor protection by changing the speed of direct current of the motor as per the voltage applied to the armature, i.e. direct current motors allow the drive to change the speed by adjusting the shunt field current. The motor failure rate is conservatively estimated at 3-5% per year and goes to as high as 12% in mining and pulp and paper industry. It majorly happens because of three main causes, i.e., electrical, mechanical and environmental factors. However, apart from the downtime or loss of production, the operators also need to pay for repair or replacement and removal and installation. Variable frequency drives can operate as motor protection devices along with their role as motor spe...

‘Diversity’ is probably one of the most misunderstood terminologies in any corporate setup as of today. My claim is based, not only on personal experiences, but also on the fact that, each year, there is an increase in the number of initiatives, that companies across the world are required to take up, to enforce Diversity and inclusion. Yet, even today, diversity is viewed as an alien concept and there is a lot of resistance towards embracing it. It has become the need of the hour to create awareness about having a culturally diverse, gender balanced work environment, which can contribute immensely towards the growth of an organization. All said and done, the one question which keeps nagging me is, why we, as a society, as employees of a world class organization, need to be reminded, time and again about demonstrating an unbiased treatment towards our fellow beings? Is this a consequence of our education system? The answer is, probably not! Discrimination of all sorts are global in n...
