← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a variable-frequency drive controlling a centrifugal pump experiences a rapid voltage transient?
A)Bearing damage from induced eddy currents✓
B)Casing deformation from thermal expansion
C)Impeller cavitation from speed fluctuations
D)Seal failure from pressure pulsations
💡 Explanation
When a VFD experiences a rapid voltage transient, common-mode voltage is produced because of fast switching edges, inducing high-frequency eddy currents within the motor and pump bearings, leading to electric discharge machining (EDM) and premature bearing failure. Therefore, bearing damage results, rather than, deformation, cavitation, or seal failure each requiring different conditions.
