When is transformer pre-magnetization recommended? Some medium voltage drive systems feature a pre-magnetization unit. In certain VFDs the pre-magnetization might be a standard. Other VFDs offer such functionality as an option. And most VFDs probably do not have the pre-magnetization at all. No wonder that some end users may be Read more…
Undervoltage Ride Through This post talks about VFD capability to withstand a fault in the supplying grid without tripping the drive system – undervoltage ride through function [1]. Availability of drive system is very important for many users and the importance of high availability is expected to grow. It implies Read more…
How to choose a medium voltage VFD:Design robustness Every end user probably wishes that his VFD has a robust design and works as intended during the entire lifetime of at least 20 years. Unplanned shutdowns and outages are unwanted. But what is robust design and how can it be achieved? Read more…
