Standards of quality of electric energy in general-purpose power supply systems), and also complies with international standards IEC 868, IEC 1000-3-2, IEC 1000-3-3, IEC 1000-4-1 and publications IEC 1000-2-1, IEC 1000-2-2 in terms of levels of electromagnetic compatibility in power supply systems and methods of measuring electromagnetic interference. HPV does not require an input and output electrical filter;
- visualization of the HPV operation is made in the form of an ergonomic touchscreen graphic terminal with a diagonal of 10″, the menu is in Russian.
The structure and principle of HPV
The HPV is structurally a cascade converter consisting of single-phase converters connected in series to form a group. Each group is connected to a common point, thereby forming a three-phase high voltage converter. The circuitry of each single-phase converter is a typical PWM inverter with a DC link, differing only in the power of power semiconductor devices (SPDs), diode and transistor (IGBT) potential-free modules. This circuitry significantly reduces the level of pulsations at the output of the SPP and maximizes the output voltage/current waveform to a sinusoidal one, ensuring reliable and stable operation of the converter with the motor.
The R.S.T. input circuits of the power units are connected to the secondary windings of a three-phase power transformer. The unit is controlled and monitored via fiber optic cable. In case of failure of one of the units, the inverter is optionally equipped with a bypass function. When the bypass is enabled, the rated output voltage of the frequency converter is reduced. If the HPI operates at a frequency of at least 40 Hz, it automatically increases the output voltage of the operating power units to optimize the uninterrupted operation of the HPI.
Advantages.
- does not require an input and output EMC filter;
- whether the motor does not violate the operating conditions and minimizes its induction heating;
- have no restrictions on the length of the motor cable;
- no negative impact of the impulse voltage/current on the insulation of the motor and its supply cable (dU/dt effect) and, as a result, preservation of operating conditions.
The design of the HPV
Structurally, the VPL consists of cabinets with equipment placed in them:
- Transformer cabinet with temperature control unit;
- Inverter cabinet;
- Control cabinet;
- Soft start cabinet (for surge protectors with current above 600A or optionally for lower power)
- Output current-limiting choke cabinet (optional). It is installed when the length of the motor cable is more than 500 m and/or when the motor is switched continuously to the mains and back
- Bypass (bypass) high-voltage cell (optional).
- Control system UPS and bypass cells (optional).
- Liquid cooling system cabinet and chiller (for liquid-cooled HPC).
The transformer cabinet has a built-in dry high-voltage transformer with a forced cooling system and temperature indicator. The inverter cabinet contains the inverter power units. The soft start cabinet is a rheostat starter that is connected through an additional secondary three-phase winding of 0.4kV of the main power transformer.

Types and applications of frequency converters
Frequency converters, like compressor and generator equipment, come in different types and differ in their purpose. Functions of converters:
- Motor speed control.
- Increase energy efficiency.
- Ensure precise control of pressure, temperature, or power.
- Reduce wear and tear and increase equipment service life.
- Improving the safety of electric motors.
- Reduced energy consumption and operating costs.
Converters can be water- or air-cooled and have vector control. Before you buy a frequency converter, you need to make sure that it meets your expectations and has the necessary characteristics.
How to choose a frequency converter
When purchasing a frequency converter, pay attention to the power it operates with and the type of AC power it uses. It also helps to choose a model with overload protection and other additional features. Before buying a frequency converter, it is better to consult with the employees ofDalgakiran Compressor Ukraine. They will tell you the option that will be most relevant for your company.
