Industrial Service
Motor Control & VFD Installation
Starters, variable frequency drives, and control panels installed, programmed, and commissioned for the load they actually run.
What's Included
- Drive and starter selection sized to the motor's full-load amps, duty cycle, and starting torque — not just its nameplate horsepower.
- MCC bucket, enclosure, and control panel installation, including disconnects, overload protection, and short-circuit coordination.
- Power and control wiring: feeders, shielded VFD cable with proper grounding to keep bearing currents and drive noise off your instrumentation, and control interconnects to PLC I/O.
- Drive parameter programming and tuning — acceleration and deceleration ramps, current limits, skip frequencies, and protection settings matched to the driven equipment.
- Commissioning under real load with rotation verification, current readings logged at each phase, and a printed parameter list left in the panel.
- As-built drawings and panel schedules updated so your maintenance crew isn't reverse-engineering the job in two years.
Questions about Motor Control & VFD Installation
Can you retrofit a VFD onto an existing across-the-line starter?
In most cases, yes — conveyors, pumps, and fans are the usual candidates and often the fastest energy payback on site. We verify the motor is inverter-duty or assess the risk if it isn't, check cable length against the drive's limits, and address reflected wave and shaft grounding before we commit.
Do you work in classified or hazardous locations?
Yes. Tell us the area classification and we'll build to it — proper enclosures, seals, and wiring methods for the division and group involved.
Can the work happen during a scheduled outage?
That's how we prefer to do it. Give us the shutdown window and we'll staff and stage to finish inside it, including nights and weekends.
