					<description><![CDATA[Today we look at overvoltage faults, as we continue with some of the more common faults experienced by variable speed drives, their causes, and some ways to resolve them.

Variable Speed Drives (VSDs, a.k.a. Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs) or, for AC motor control, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)) are equipped with a number of monitoring and control features intended to protect the drive and its connected equipment from damage. Errors, Warnings, and Faults are logged in response to abnormal operating conditions and displayed on the drive’s HMI and/or sent to monitoring software in connected PCs or automation control systems. The drive’s response to the abnormal condition depends on the condition’s severity, and the potential it has to inflict damage. The faults we are discussing typically cause drive shutdown, and require that the fault be corrected and the drive reset or rebooted before it can operate normally.]]></description>

Over the decades that FCVs have been in use, both control technology and mechanical construction have improved greatly, significantly reducing the process inefficiencies - hysteresis, lag, pressure drop,  [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Most people are aware that electrical and electronic components are heat-sensitive, and that their life expectancies can be reduced significantly if they are not kept within specified operating temperatures. Typical upper limits for specified operating temperatures are 40°C (104°F); occasionally 50°C (122°F). One common application challenge is maintaining temperature below these upper limits within  [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is a good deal of knowledge, and more than a little misperception, about the use of variable speed drives (VSDs). The term "variable speed drive" encompasses both variable frequency drives (VFDs) used for controlling AC asynchronous and synchronous motors, and DC variable speed drives for controlling DC motors. In either case, determining if and  [...]]]></description>
