Errors actually exist in measuring current and power consumption with harmonic components by conventional instruments. Thread starter blues; Start date Aug 9, 2012; B. blues Member. Perhaps this is not a myth but a misunderstanding. From what I have read it appears that as the drive changes the speed of the motor by adjusting the frequency, the drive will also adjust the voltage to maintain the appropriate voltz/hertz ratio, and constant torque. However, this frequency conversion process causes 2% to 3% loss as heat in the VFD — caloric energy that must be dissipated. The process also yields overvoltage spikes and harmonic current distortions. Logic dictates that, because a VFD should lose current due to its own thermal component losses, a VFD’s input current should be slightly higher than its output current. PTC's Creo 7.0 has breakthrough innovations in the areas of generative design, real-time simulation, multibody design, additive manufacturing, and more! July 1, 2018 admin AC Drives. See here for more details: https://www.emainc.net/2016/08/23/vfd-s-still-save-energy-a-lot-of-it/, Your email address will not be published.

However, VFDs provide not only a variable frequency output to the motor, they provide a variable voltage output as well. The drive's power factor was the part I was struggling with. At EMA we’ve been applying and servicing VFDs for over two decades now, and we’ve learned to trust the drive output readings. Aug 9, 2012 #1 I would like to know why the input current of a VFD would be differnt than the output from the VFD to say a 200hp, 3ph, 480v motor load. Keeping our warfighters safe and delivering them a competitive advantage is a key goal of departments of defense around the world. It’s a goal shared by embedded computing manufacturers like Abaco: we never forget who we serve.This case study describes how a major international contractor integrated an Abaco single board computer at the heart of its CAS/CSAR solution. I have been trying to learn more about Varialbe Frequency Drives and had a question regarding how the output of the drive functioned. Ozmosis' explanation helps a lot. A blower is a variable torque load, so based on the affinity laws, the power consumed should drop exponentially based on the speed of the load. Thank you for helping keep Eng-Tips Forums free from inappropriate posts.The Eng-Tips staff will check this out and take appropriate action. How Does VFD Accelerate or Decelerate Motor? However, VFDs provide not only a variable frequency output to the motor, they provide a variable voltage output as well. What's the FLA of a 5HP 230V motor? VFD Myth #5: The Input Current of a VFD Should be Higher Than its Output Current. It doesn’t seem to align with the idea that the VFD should have some losses due to its own thermal component losses, so input should always be slightly higher that output. Often times, the output current will be higher than the input current! By joining you are opting in to receive e-mail. Scotty, I think you forgot to post a link. So in your example, at 230V and 30Hz, you motor is outputting the same torque as it would at 460/60, but because the speed is half, so therefore is the shaft HP. I would like to know why the input current of a VFD would be differnt than the output from the VFD to say a 200hp, 3ph, 480v motor load. Your email address will not be published. When under load the input current increases to about 200A, while the output current shoots up well over 300A. Input current of the VFD is related to the power required by the motor, the supply voltage, the efficiency of variable frequency drive and the power factor. 6. VFDs manipulate the frequency of their output by rectifying an incoming AC current into DC, and then using voltage pulse-width modulation to recreate an AC current and voltage output waveform. Please explain. You need to distinguish between two things: the torque that the motor is supplying to the load, and the torque that the motor is _capable_ of suppling to a load. 5: A VFD’s input current should be higher than its output current. While harmonics in the PWM output can easily be filtered by carrier-frequency-related filter inductance to supply near-sinusoidal currents to the motor load, the VFD's diode-bridge rectifier converts AC line voltage to DC voltage output by super-imposing non-linear half-phase current pulses thus creating harmonic current distortion, and hence voltage distortion, of the AC line input. Amperages on the lines supplying power to a VFD for a blower are L1 19.1 amps, L2 9.2 amps, L3 19.2 amps. (Power = Volts times Amps). Yes this is normal for a blower. This white paper shows how collaborative robots can play a role in helping companies succeed in the Covid-19 world: to help with social distancing, ramp up new lines quickly and reshore existing products due to interrupted supply chains.
