Output filter smooths out PWM waveforms
The KMG sinewave filter converts the PWM square wave shape into a near sinusoidal waveform, removing high frequency voltage distortion.
Drive output filters protect motors and cables
V1000 motor protecting output filters have been designed to limit peak voltage and increase voltage rise time.
It provides the ability to estimate harmonic distortion at the user's convenience.
Compliance indicators show whether a project meets IEEE 519-1992 standards.
There is the ability to display a representation of table 10.3 of IEEE 519-1992 from the menu and button bar.
After inputting source details such as kVA, impedance percentage (or short circuit) and voltage, the user can configure the system.
TCI product specifications are built into the program giving the flexibility to select the option that addresses the application.
Results can be compared from the HG7 Harmonic Guard series drive-applied filter and the KDR optimised drive reactor.
If AC drives are specified, Analyzer lets the user estimate current and voltage distortion as the specification is developed.
Standard six-pulse drives can be chosen, or drives with reactors and filters, and it shows what the impact of the accessory product is on distortion levels.
That way, the user will know exactly how the equipment will affect the project and what the cost should be.
For those who sell or apply AC drives, Analyzer estimates current and voltage distortion at the time of the bid.
