Webinar – Preventing Costly Downtime with Proper VFD Cable Selection and Installation

Unlock the Full Potential of Your VFD System

Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) systems are critical to modern industrial performance—but are yours truly optimized? One often-overlooked factor is VFD cable selection. Choosing the wrong cable can lead to motor failure, electromagnetic interference (EMI), costly downtime, and even safety risks.

In this webinar, Raj Desai, Global Product Manager for LAPP, breaks down how proper VFD cabling plays a vital role in maximizing efficiency, reliability, and long-term performance across your operations.

What You’ll Learn

In this session we explore the technical essentials behind effective VFD system design, including:

• Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Insights
  Understand how PWM impacts system performance—delivering benefits like precise motor control and energy efficiency, while also introducing challenges such as voltage spikes, EMI, and harmonic distortion.
• Shielding for Reliability
  Learn how proper cable shielding minimizes EMI disruptions, reduces shaft voltage, and helps prevent damaging bearing currents.
• Managing Common Mode Current (CMC)
  Discover how CMC can harm equipment and how proper cable termination techniques can mitigate these risks.
• Insulation Matters
  See why XLPE-insulated VFD cables outperform standard THHN cables by reducing charging current and controlling voltage spikes.
• Best Practices for Cable Termination
  Explore effective methods such as 360° shield termination to ensure controlled current paths and improved system stability.
• Advanced Cable Solutions
  Get introduced to innovative designs like ÖLFLEX® VFD 2XL and ÖLFLEX® Servo zeroCM, engineered to enhance industrial performance and reliability.
