OPERATING PRINCIPLES, DESIGN AND GENERAL FEATURES OF THE DEVICE
Operating principle
Static frequency converters are used to feed loads that require AC power at a fixed frequency different from what is available from the grid. Using an intermediate DC transformation, the device can deliver that power under the required conditions.
Subsequently, one unit consists of 2 sub-subsystems:
- Rectifier: converts incoming AC voltage to DC
- Inverter: converts DC voltage to AC at the output at the required frequency
Batteries can optionally be added to the system so it can be autonomous in the event of a grid failure.
Device design
The device has excellent dynamic behaviour with IGBT transistors. It’s controlled by a microprocessor that governs the unit in response to different keywords and signals it receives and informs the user of its status.
Control functions:
- History: last 250 alarms with time and date
- Automatic control: programmable start up and shut down
- Diagnostics: visualise and transmit the status of the device
- Measurements:
- Vef and Ief of all phases
- Active, apparent and reactive power
- Internal system temperatures
- Output
- Cos and input and output frequency
- Test: automatic, local/remote, periodic and programmable
- Digital settings: parameters adjustable by keyboard
- Configurable: basic system functions can be defined
- Tips: using the keyboard
