Motor Starters and Variable Frequency Drives applications can range from a simple stand alone starter application to a full blown Starter / VFD / Bypass system.
On the VFD side, most applications require careful sizing of the system components as well as proper feature selection (Vector / Frequency / Servo control VFD, external references, communication etc.)
The starter applications (across-the-line or soft-start with a bypass) typically present complications only when large motors are involved (200 HP and up). In such cases, a system simulation to assess
large motor starting currents effects is advisable to avoid voltage stability problems in the facility.
At
, we can help you with such aspects of independent
Customized VFD / Starter application as:
- VFD / Starter selection based on process requirement
- System simulation of the large starter application (across-the-line vs. soft-start)
- Line/Load reactor for VFD selection
- Drive / Starter supply, installation & programming
- External control interface (Digital & Analogue controls)
- Communication interface to external SCADA or Energy management system
- Control & interface drawings
Having a VFD or a soft starter installed can be a very effective and economical way to control large motor loads. Having it properly sized and selected can
avoid many problems and pitfalls that may be associated with such application.
Give us a chance to lend you a hand with your VFD and starter application whether it is a simple control setup or a part of a large integrated system.
