In a recent webcast, Boima Morray, Vice President of Marketing, Danfoss Drives, Americas discussed the value of AC drives in motor-driven systems (MDS) with respect to optimizing energy consumption and the potential for huge energy savings.
When it comes to the world of AC drives, there are two variations on the topic of noise: audible noise, typically generated by cooling fans, and electromagnetic noise emanating from the AC drives on various frequency bands.…
The subject of harmonics currents and voltages is one that has received increased attention over the last few years. But, did you know that the biggest sources of harmonic current can be found in the large number…
The frequency converter for a solar-powered pumping installation is an essential component in order to achieve a reliable and performing system, with reduced installation and maintenance costs. There are a number of factors that should be considered when selecting…
The so-called AFE (active front end) technique has rapidly become popular when the target is low harmonic levels. This article however challenges AFE as the most frequently used solution for harmonic dampening. Should you care about harmonics?
