In Part 2 of this blog, the harmonic current distortion of a typical Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is discussed, as well the possible solutions to the problems that this causes. Active Front End or (AFE) units are also discussed and some of the issues that they themselves … [Read more...]
Comparison of PWM VFDs versus Resonant Link Converters – Part 1
AC variable frequency drives (VFDs) have been in existence in a number of forms since the early 1970s. In the early 1980s the “pulse width modulated” (PMW) VFD versions began to appear. This form of motor control produced less motor rotor and stator harmonic heating and delivered smoother torque control at slow motor speeds. Thirty years on PWM VFDs are still the most … [Read more...]
Insertion Loss and Filter Performance
Background Filters are almost always a part of electronics design. Design engineers design a filter to achieve certain attenuation in specified frequency range. There are many types of filters, such as high pass, low pass or bandwidth. Popular filter configurations include L-C, C-L-C (π) or L-C- L (T). It is safe to say that when it comes to filter design, the discussion of … [Read more...]
