IEEE-IAS Meeting - Specifying Medium Voltage Adjustable Speed drives (>2.3kV and >250 HP equipment
The Baltimore IEEE-IAS will be hosting its next meeting at Olive Grove Restaurant on March 15, 2017.
I hope everyone enjoyed our last event on “Lighting Controls and Codes”. Moreover, the “Lighting” presentation is now located on our website (http://www.iasbaltimore.org) with question answers and the code to retrieve AIA credits at the end of the presentation. If you have any issues feel free to contact me directly.
The cost of the meeting will be $45 for members paid in advance, and $50 for non-members paid in advance. As usual, the cost at the door will be $50 for everyone. Refer to the attached flyer for additional information.

Specifying Medium Voltage Adjustable Speed drives (>2.3kV and >250 HP equipment
Adjustable speed drive (ASD) and motors when applied to compressors, pumps, extruders, etc. can provide various electro-mechanical benefits to its operators and stakeholders. Their benefits have been well documented and understood. However, a successful installation of a medium voltage ASD system needs to be specified appropriately for the application. Many times drives are mis-specified or not specified at all. This can lead to surprises, shipment delays, price adders and ultimately the equipment itself not being in compliance with the stated project objectives. This session will attempt to address on how to properly specify a medium voltage adjustable speed drive. We will review the standards that govern an ASD, how to specify them from a safety, cooling, I/O, acceptance testing and line/load side performance standpoint and also give examples of over/under specification. The session will conclude with how to specify ASDs when connected to on-site generation and its effects when using ASD as a starter. The dimension of the topic is limited to medium voltage (>2.3kV) and equipment ratings greater than 250HP.
