Variable Frequency Drive installs and tuning for Norwood, NC and the Charlotte metro.
VFD installs, parameter setup, commissioning, and troubleshooting for industrial motors. Plant-floor experience on every job.
VFD installation and tuning done by someone who has run drives on a plant floor.
Variable frequency drives are easy to mount. They’re much harder to get right. An improperly programmed VFD doesn’t just underperform. It can destroy the motor it’s protecting, trip on phantom faults at full load, or run a conveyor at the wrong speed profile for months before anyone notices.
Bobby Shaver spent 12.5 years as the site electrical and automation lead at Michelin’s Norwood plant, where VFDs ran conveyors, mixers, compressors, and cooling systems around the clock. He has commissioned, tuned, and diagnosed drives from multiple manufacturers under production pressure, the kind of real-world experience that turns a VFD install into a long-term asset instead of a recurring problem.
310 Construction LLC handles new VFD installs, parameter setup and commissioning, drive replacements, troubleshooting on existing drives, and wiring of bypass systems and drive panels. Every job is scoped in writing before work begins.

From new installs to troubleshooting existing drives.
New VFD installs
Power and control wiring, mounting, input/output terminations, and full parameter setup for new drive installations on pumps, conveyors, fans, compressors, and industrial equipment.
Drive commissioning
Motor nameplate entry, V/Hz or vector profile selection, accel/decel ramp setup, overload and fault configuration. Commissioned to the motor’s actual load profile, not factory defaults.
Drive replacement
Like-for-like drive swaps or cross-brand replacements on existing applications. Parameter migration, wiring adaptation, and commissioning included.
Troubleshooting and fault diagnosis
Drive fault code analysis, wiring verification, motor insulation testing, and root-cause diagnosis on drives that are tripping, underperforming, or failing intermittently.
VFD panel builds
Drive panels built from enclosure through wiring, bypass switching, and door-mounted operator controls. Labeled, documented, and thermal-scanned at close-out.
Multi-drive applications
Systems running multiple coordinated drives, including common bus configurations and drive-to-drive speed references. Michelin plant background means real multi-drive experience.
VFDs are not a set-it-and-forget-it install.
A drive that was never commissioned properly looks fine until it doesn’t. Motor overheating from wrong slip compensation, nuisance tripping from undersized line reactors, conveyor speed drift from a default ramp profile that doesn’t match the actual inertia: these problems are invisible until they cause downtime.
The difference between a wired-up VFD and a correctly commissioned VFD is parameter setup: understanding the motor’s nameplate, the application’s speed and torque requirements, the protection thresholds that matter for the actual environment, and the fault history that tells you what the drive has already seen.
Bobby brings plant-floor commissioning discipline to every VFD job taken through 310 Construction LLC, including the documentation that lets the next person who opens the panel understand what was set and why.
