Interesting discussion, folks....
As a controls engineer and High-Voltage electrician.... as well as delving into HVAC control of late... here's my observations... These manufacturers will always take the cheapest route possible and damn the consequences. This is particularly true in power and control systems. A whole lot of manufacturers are moving toward PWM drives on their blowers in particular. Many solutions are an 'on-board' frequency chopper that is integral with the blower's motor. These choppers are cheaply built and cheaply engineered. I suppose they thought RFI and EMI would be insignificant due to the control being mounted on the motor... but they're noisy as hell. Suggestions: Replace the power cables with a shielded, VFD rated cable. Belden makes a wide variety... I think they're called the VFD classic line. Pay close attention the unit and cable grounding. Check to be certain your house ground and neutral connections are only tied together at the service entrance panel of your home. My 2 cents... Jake |
