Speed is a key factor for success. It is as important as cost, value, uniqueness, vision, user acceptance. This holds true for processes, goods and services. And for tools, including the one presented here. A tool that is intuitive to use requires little time to learn. A versatile tool is quickly accepted by a team dealing with many projects or concepts simultaneously. A tool that adapts to the users’ workflow and integrates seamlessly maintains these processes speed. Introducing the KISSsoft System Module.
Bearing damage due to electric current in variable frequency drives (VFD) is well understood as a general concept. What is not yet fully developed are the models that better predict when a system is at risk and where we should be looking for early signs of damage.
