MITIGATING ELECTRICAL RISKS IN MEDIUM-VOLTAGE ADJUSTABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE SYSTEMS
The officers of the Oregon/SW Washington Chapter of the Industry Applications Society invite you to join us Wednesday evening, September 23, 2026, for our dinner, meeting, and technical presentation. We appreciate the support of all who attend our dinners and presentations. We will be meeting at our “home base” MEGI Engineering in Lake Oswego. This location is easy to access by car from the Interstate 5 Kruse Way/Lake Oswego exits. Ample free parking and entrance at the West side of the building.
The cost for dinner is $20 with food from QDOBA Mexican Eats. There is no charge to attend the presentation only. Our IAS Chapter always offers free dinners for local PSU, OSU, George Fox, U of P, OIT and WSUV Electrical Engineering Students who attend our meetings. This is an excellent networking opportunity for students as our meetings are attended by many professionals in consulting, industrial engineering, and electrical equipment manufacturing.

MITIGATING ELECTRICAL RISKS IN MEDIUM-VOLTAGE ADJUSTABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE SYSTEMS
Abstract: Understanding the construction of Medium-Voltage Adjustable Frequency Drive systems is important in evaluating potential failure modes internal to the drive to help end users determine project specifications, end use, and safety requirements when working on or in proximity to such equipment. This paper will explore multiple failure modes and recommend engineering controls to mitigate the associated risks.
