What is a Phase-Shifting Transformer? VFD multi-winding transformers typically use phase-shifting feature in order to eliminate (cancel) certain harmonic orders in the spectrum of the current drawn from the grid. There are, however, other transformers that also use phase-shifting, but it a completely different power range and application. This blog Read more…
What types of VFD grid connection exist? How is the VFD connected to the supplying grid? There are several ways. In this post we look at the conventional ones as well as more specific solutions regarding variants of VFD grid connection. 1. Connection through at input isolation transformer Most common Read more…
VFD multidrives: Grid harmonic performance This is the continuation of our short series on benefits of VFD multidrives [1]. We have already explained improved energy efficiency [2] and reduced footprint [3]. Today’s article focuses on grid harmonic performance and how a multidrive solution has the edge over individual single drives. Read more…
VFD transformers: Multi-winding design Today we look at the design of multi-winding VFD transformer feeding variable frequency drives. These VFD transformers are often classified in the category of ‘special transformers’. What does it mean? Why are they special? If you want to get these answers and a little insight into Read more…
