← Communicated with VFD and MCC bldg vendors, and I designed a unique high efficiency HVAC system for MV MCC bldg where a high heat generating 4160V VFDs are installed inside. So in the winter time the bldg. is heated by running VFDs and the heaters are standing by. In a summer time all heated air is out from the VFDs to the outdoor, not affecting temperate inside MCC bldg.
