    [Active Front End Rectifier] Leading current issues

    It's a grounded input system? May you really measure phase voltages? I think it's unground and choosed to measure line voltages. As error is constant may be a common-mode voltage issue.

    [Active Front End Rectifier] Leading current issues

    Maybe an error in frames reference transformation and/or PLL low pass filter frequency set.

    Running a DOL starter from a VFD

    A 4-5 times power VFD with 0.1s ramp may be used. Or even set minimum frequency at desired value.

    Auxiliary Motor Speed Impact on Transient Undervoltage?

    May use a battery bank connected to VFD DCbus. By contactor or diode and separate charging. Total battery voltage need to be above max nominal DCbus, so keep them "isolated from VFD" and supply energy to VFD at grid undervoltage only.

    Single VFD running two motors - One motor temperature much hotter.

    What is VFD model? Both motors drive same load?

    Switching a transformer on and off with something to reduce the inrush current

    Inverter need to be power-on over night? In the morning any solar inverter start at some solar panels voltage and limit output current itself, no need for other parts.

    What kind of control is this

    Seem to be contact pressure variable resistor.

    Motor VFD open loop no-load current is much higher than closed loop no-load current. Why?

    What kind of PM motor is? Interior or surface magnet? What kind of rotor alignment method was set for open-loop? Such high current difference indicate an incorrect VFD setup or may be some error/missing in firmware control routine in open-loop.

    Can two VFD's run in parallel

    There are VFDs that allow to add power modules to increase output power, but use same DCbus and sure, all module receive same control signals. Separate VFDs may work in parallel if was designed for that and use a dedicated communication link for synch, load sharing and response to...

    Grid scale BESS inverter question

    As grid inverter it's an ac power device connected in parallel with grid, from control section may choose power flow direction. In inverter control section (firmware and circuits) may implement active and reactive power control level and direction. After control section make all calculation...

    PV backfeeding the grid

    Most probably it's a grid-tie inverter with so called "reverse power limiting device" that send signal (RS485/Modbus) to inverter to reduce it's power to avoid reverse power when local consumption decrease and/or PV panel production increase. Communication between device and inverter may be lost...

    Contactor voltage rating for VFD DC bus

    VFD synchro is related to speed synchonization of attached motors in a stable ratio (1:1 or other) but can't be made by DC bus. Common DC bus is used mainly in multi-axis motors machines to obtain some energy recovery as at a time some motors may be in braking (regenerative mode) same in...

    Contactor voltage rating for VFD DC bus

    May I ask what was the logic behind the requirement to connect the DCbus of the two VFDs through a contactor?

    Intermittent fault in induction motor

    N point is a cable connection or made by a contactor?

    Can we start an ID fan motor 700 kW 690 Vac direct on line?

    Needed start torque being very low may use RL series circuits to limit current and short them after. A smaller VFD with synchronous transfer feature may be an option.

    SEPAM connection

    May need an USB/RS232 converter that assure +/-15V signal levels on RS232 side.

    Heating in isolation transformer

    What kind of controller PFC use? Some PFC schematics and/or loads may inject a DC component on grid/transformer that modify saturation limits.

    Powerflex 755 (15 hp) IGBT SMOKED!

    99% board control is ok. It's optically isolated from power drivers.

    750KW DC motor tripping main power breaker

    If motor is ok, seem to be oscillations in armature current control loop. Check DCS parameters.

    VFD Resonance With AC Grid

    No diodes issue. As Mark said, may be Middlebrook instability - when output impedance of input filter (or just power supply if no filter) is (or become at some frequency value/range) greater than input impedance of rectifier/converter. Such oscillations after diode commutation are "normal" for...
