ZFeng 310 Series 1.5Kw General Vector Variable Frequency Drive

ZFeng 310 Series 1.5Kw General Vector Variable Frequency Drive

A General Vector Variable Frequency Drive is a power electronic device designed to control the speed and torque of AC motors by varying the frequency of the power supply to the motor. It utilizes vector control technology to precisely adjust the motor's output torque, enabling efficient and accurate motor control.

Technical Principles

Frequency Conversion: The inverter operates on the principle of converting the fixed frequency AC power supply to a variable frequency and voltage AC power supply. This is achieved through a process involving rectification, filtering, and inversion.

• Rectification: Converts AC power to DC power using diodes or thyristors.
• Filtering: Smoothens the DC power to reduce voltage fluctuations.
• Inversion: Converts the DC power back to AC power with adjustable frequency and voltage using switching devices such as IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors).

Vector Control Technology: This advanced control technique decomposes the motor's current into two components: the excitation current and the torque current. By independently controlling these two components, the inverter achieves precise control over the motor's torque and speed, similar to the control of a DC motor.

Control Modes

Vector Control drives offer various control modes to suit different application requirements and motor characteristics:

• V/F Control (Voltage/Frequency Control): A basic control method where the output voltage and frequency of the inverter are maintained in a constant ratio. Suitable for applications with low speed precision requirements.
• Sensorless Vector Control(SVC): Estimates the rotor position and speed without using sensors (e.g., encoders). It analyzes the back EMF (Electromotive Force) in the motor windings to indirectly calculate the rotor position and speed, achieving similar performance to sensor-based vector control.

Characteristics and Advantages

• High Precision Vector Control: Achieves precise control over motor torque and speed with an accuracy of up to 0.01%, meeting the demands of high-precision applications such as CNC machines and printing equipment.
• Excellent Low-Frequency Performance: Maintains high torque output even at low frequencies (e.g., 150%-200% of rated torque at 0.5Hz), ensuring smooth motor operation and preventing low-frequency jitter or crawling.
• Wide Motor Compatibility: Compatible with various types and power ratings of AC motors, including induction motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). Automatic motor parameter identification or manual input of motor nameplate data simplifies the matching process.
• Energy Efficiency: Reduces unnecessary energy consumption by precisely controlling motor speed and torque, especially during partial load or low-speed operations.
• High Reliability and Stability: Designed with high-quality electronic components and advanced manufacturing processes, ensuring stable operation in harsh industrial environments (e.g., high temperature, humidity, dust).
• User-Friendly Interface: Equipped with a clear and intuitive operation panel featuring an LCD display and easy-to-use menu interface, facilitating parameter setting, operation monitoring, and fault diagnosis.
