Functions
AC mains supply to the
frequency converter.
The rectifier bridge converts
the AC input to DC current to
supply inverter power.
Intermediate DC-bus circuit
handles the DC current.
Filters the intermediate DC
circuit current.
Provides mains transient
protection.
Reduces the root mean square
(RMS) current.
Raises the power factor
reflected back to the line.
Reduces harmonics on the AC
input.
Stores the DC power.
Provides ride-through
protection for short power
losses.
Converts the DC into a
controlled PWM AC waveform
for a controlled variable
output to the motor.

1.4.3 Enclosure Sizes and Power Ratings
For enclosure sizes and power ratings of the frequency
converters, refer to chapter 9.9 Enclosure Sizes, Power
Ratings, and Dimensions.
1.4.4 Safe Torque Off (STO)
®
The VLT Midi Drive FC 280 frequency converter supports
Safe Torque Off (STO). See chapter 6 Safe Torque Off (STO)
for details about the installation, commissioning,
maintenance, and technical data of STO.
Functions
Regulated 3-phase output
power to the motor.
Input power, internal
processing, output, and motor
current are monitored to
provide efficient operation
and control.
User interface and external
commands are monitored and
performed.
Status output and control can
be provided.
Power factor correction
changes the waveform of
current which is drawn by the
frequency converter to
improve the power factor.
Brake chopper is used in the
DC intermediate circuit to
control DC voltage when the
load feeds energy back.
