We have a question from an EC who wants us to confirm that a VFD is not needed for a specific application (in fact, it is not), and to confirm that they can instead install an RIB with a manual motor starter. Other than the baby backs that I plan to run though the smoker on Sunday, I do not know what RIB could mean. The best I could get from Bing was “Relay in a Box.” But I can’t guess what such a thing would do, and why it would be named in addition to the motor starter. Can anyone clue me in?
