Expert Motor Control Consulting Services
Invention House offers motor drive system consulting solutions that optimize VFD equipment.
Leverage Invention House’s Expertise With Our Motor Control Design and Consulting Services
Optimizing a variable frequency drive combination is a challenging task. Combining horsepower, voltage, torque, loads, speed, and environmental conditions into a reliable motor-drive solution is always the goal.
Internal engineering teams are always the first line, but may not always have all the answers due to limited experience with alternative solutions. Partnering with an experienced staff that understands the ins and outs of VFD equipment is the most effective way of preventing problems from slowing down your operations.
With over 40 years of experience, the Invention House team offers motor drive system design and consulting services to help companies optimize their VFD combination and resolve issues with existing equipment. We leverage our knowledge and expertise to help engineering teams manage the following problems:
- Feasibility, testing, and cost analysis studies
- Application of military specifications
- AC/DC voltages
- Atmospheric and environmental impact analysis
- High voltage, high horsepower requirements
- Resolving complex motor-drive requirements
- Debugging software and hardware issues
- Motor failure analysis
- Drive failure analysis
- Motor and drive specification
- EV and solar engineering expertise
- EV charging expertise
- Sourcing recommendation
VFD Consulting Example: Invention House consulted with NASA suppliers on the design and manufacturer of a special variable frequency drive that controlled the HVAC motors in the James Webb Telescope Transporter. Ultimately, Invention House designed, built and delivered the custom, mil-spec motor drive capable of meeting land, air and sea power supply and environmental conditions. Read the full article.

5 Basic Facts About Variable Frequency Drives
Motor Drive Consulting Experts That Manufacture American-Made Variable Frequency Drives
Sometimes AC motors and drives experience complete failure and need to be replaced. Purchasing off-the-shelf equipment may not be the best solution, but those lack the specifications that enable them to work in challenging environments. The Invention House team understands the importance of finding the right VFD to power processes and offers ruggedized single-phase, 3-phase, and 400 Hz motor drives that are mil-spec and provide the following features:
- Input/output frequencies up to 400Hz
- Temperature range from -40℃ to 55℃
Continuous vibration up to 2grms - Shock (drop, near detonation) up to 40g
- Humidity up to 95% non-condensing
- Stall prevention
- Auto restart
- Operation at altitude up to 14,000 ft.
