Yaskawa Whitepaper: Redundant VFDs and Fan Arrays in Critical Operations

July 9, 2025 Electric motors are the workhorses of modern industry, driving pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and more. Yet, despite robust mechanical designs, many motors experience unexpected downtime due to hidden electrical stresses. This guide dives deep into the mechanisms of premature failure, empowers you to assess vulnerabilities in your installations, and provides a layered mitigation…
When one major mining company underwent digital transformation, it achieved results that would be the envy of most mines. Production increased about 15%. Energy costs went down after ventilation demands were cut in half. And safety was enhanced with autonomous drills that moved workers away from potentially hazardous areas.
