Description

ACS 880 – 31/34 Low Harmonic Industrial Drive Module variable frequency drive

Low harmonic content, 3% Total Harmonic Distortion Current (THDI)

Due to the active supply unit and inbuilt line filter, regenerative drives are network friendly.
– vfd drive produces sinusoidal line current resulting in low network harmonics and lower losses in
power distribution.
– vfd drive reaches unity fundamental power factor, which increases the overall efficiency.

Unity power factor

– vfd Drive reaches unity power factor.
– helps in avoiding possible penalty charges from the power utility
– improves system efficiency reduces power consumption from grid
– enables more active power capacity in the network
– reduces heating of supply cables and other supply side components
– enables smaller cable sizes at grid side
– eliminates the need for compensation capacitors or active filters

Reactive Power Control

– can be used to compensate reactive power in the supply network. Requires external measurement and control circuitry
– Reducing reactive power helps to
• improve the power factor and system efficiency of vfd drive
• avoid penalty charges from electric utilities for excessive consumption of reactive power
• compensate reactive power without the need for additional capacitor banks or active filters

Optimizing Transformer sizing

– When using 6-pulse vfd drives, the transformer is selected using a factor of 1.35 x motor kVA to take into account power factor and harmonic distortion
– When using low harmonic drives the factor used is 1.1 x motor kVA. For example:
• Motor load = 1000 kVA
• 6-pulse system requires 1.35 MVA transformer
• Ultra-low harmonic solution requires only 1.1 MVA transformer

Immunity to network voltage variations

Ultra-low harmonic drives are able to stabilize the output voltage
– Active supply unit of the drive controls the DC voltage in order to guarantee full motor voltage even when the supply voltage is below nominal
– Secures reliable operation in weak networks
• ac drive can even compensate for fast variations in the line voltage
• No extra motor heating because there is no need to increase the motor current to stabilize the motor voltage*
