Abstract :
On a more frequent basis, variable frequency drives are being installed in crane applications where the power, controls and instrumentation cables must be free flexing or routed through a mechanical cable handling system. The electromagnetic interference caused by the use of variable frequency drives must be considered in the planning stage of any new or retrofit crane project.
