I'm not sure if they EXPECT you to still have the same car by then. The boys in Detroit even created a clever term for this; it's called "planned obsolecense".

[insert pic of flame-throwing Evo]
So soggy, I notice that the Evo in the pic is sporting a 'Sierra' front plate. That wouldn't be the same 'Sierra' dealer based in Monrovia, would it?

ya.... I know what a VFD is. We're working with Eaton/JCI to develop a quick setup program that 99% of our customers use. So they don't have to dig through a phone book thick manual trying to get their drive started.

We did the same thing with Yaskawa.


The guy doing the training took a mini VFD on the plane from Milwakee. He had it all hooked up with a pot and some 9V batteries taped together. Wires hanging out everywhere. He said the flight attendants were curious about what he was doing but didn't make a big stink about it. <-----I made a pun.

VFD = Variable Frequency Drive.

They're used on mechanical equipment to control the power flow. For example if you were to connect a pump to your Chilled Water service for a building, it would run at either 0% power (off) or 100% power (on). If you add a VFD, you can control the power flow to the pump in infinite increments. For instance, you could run the pump at 52.7% power. As flow or pressure requirements change, the VFD ramps up or down accordingly (with appropriate signals from your Facility Management Software). This results in a huge energy savings as you only use exactly the amount of power you need to meet demand for a given service. You'll see VFD's on chillers, air handling units, pumps, exhaust fans, compressors, etc.

Like I said, it's basically a big dimmer switch (that costs several thousand dollars and is extremely intelligent).
